I wish I could be excited about Adrenaline Mob, but every tune I listen to sounds formulaic and generic.

Transatlantic is going to be recording again! Mike Portnoy said in an interview with Classic Rock Presents Prog that they are going to find time in their schedules to record this year. I hope they can top The Whirlwind. So we have a new Morse solo album, Flying Colors, a cover album, and Transatlantic. This is going to be a great year for Mike and Neal.

Mike has always been a workhorse, but I'm shocked at how much stuff Neal is doing lately.

Adrenaline Mob still sucks something awful.

Unfortunately for Mike , this album is getting No good reviews . Unless people buy it or the live shows do well and they get good tours , this will be the first and only AM album . Songs that Everyone has heard before are flowing like wine here . Sad

I'm sorry to say that this is the first Mike Portnoy release with which I've been disappointed. I was at the first AM show last year and liked about half of what they played, especially the covers (what does that say?!?). But, just what everyone is saying about "generic" and "forulaic" is correct.

 

The bassist from Disturbed is a perfect fit because it's the same type of music, just not as good. Russell's screaming vocals are like nails on chalkboard for me. "Feelin' Me" is possibly one of the worst songs I've ever heard. I hated it at the concert and the album doesn't change that for me.

 

I'm hoping that his Flying Colors release is better than this. And, if the reviews are correct, it should crush it.

Mike posted on Facebook that he's in the studio recording drums for one of his favorite bands as a guest. No clue who it could be.

Can you picture a Metallica song with decent drumming?

I think it's Sixx A.M. I have no factual evidence to support this claim, but whatever.

 

Portnoy is really losing his mind by the way. I wish he'd go back to being the humble drummer prodigy like he was from 1992-1999. Now he's like a wannabe-rockstar parody that plays the same shit on every single album and pretends like he has OCD.

What a lineup!!! Derek may not be as fast or tech-oriented as Jordan Rudess, but his tones are incredible. I'm not sure what exactly the set will be made of though, because there's no album to promote. Does anybody know? In previous concerts they did a few instrumental numbers off Planet X and Dream Theater's catalogues.

Who knows? Maybe this will turn into one of Mike's 32144423213 projects. I hope something comes out of it, either a studio album or a live DVD.
