Yeah. For sure. I find Kevin Moore-era DT to be an infinitely better band than other iterations. Hell, I like Falling Into Infinity w/ Sherinian a lot more than Train of Thought, Six Degrees, Octavarium, etc. But I have a history of posts here displaying my general dislike for the band under Rudess.

I like Rudess, too, in isolation. He's obviously an incredible player. I just don't like the write & record song writing style that they have employed with him in the band. With Moore, the band would demo and demo and demo during the writing process, making sure their material was working. For the last several albums, they've gotten too loose during the recording process, and the songs are a lot sloppier (not in technical proficiency but in thightness of writing) than they used to be. I also don't like the Pantera & Metallica worship phase that Peh-truck-see went through for several albums.
Thankfully, for my tastes, that sloppiness is diminished on BC&SL. |

Over the last 3-4 works, he's found his groove and doesn't go overboard anymore. I think James has really settled in, SFAM, if not 6 degrees, certainly proved that.
