Threshold - Critical
Energy (2004/InsideOut) |
||
|
This is a double-live CD, and the first
in-concert release for the band. The band is spot-on
with its performance, showing their technical talents
and prowess with flying colors. However, there is a
downside to the offering: the crowd is difficult to
hear, and they don’t really "get into" many of the
songs -- lending a somewhat studio feel to much of the
effort, despite the between-songs banter of the band.
Perhaps it’s just personal preference, but I enjoy
hearing the crowd chants, them singing along,
cheering, and so forth. In that regard, the mix and
delivery leaves a bit to be desired. TRACK LIST: DISC
ONE--Phenomenon/Oceanborn/Choices/Angels/Falling
Away/Virtual Isolation/Innocent/Long Way
Home/Fragmentation
