If the above video is any consolation I believe what would are hearing to be lack of space
Seems a lot less afraid to not play for a note or two nowadays.

I love all that is Dream Theater.
JP's phrasing in the 90s had something I don't hear anymore.
Yeah, it's just because James LaBrie isn't singing on that album and I really dislike Charlie Dominici's voice... the songs get's ruined by him IMHO!![]()
There's pretty much nothing from the post SFAM era that has that memorable quality to the guitar solos that JP achieved with Lines In the Sand, The Spirit Carries On etc.
Another reason why I don't jive much with the post SFAM stuff, a lot of the leads just seem forced into the songs for the sake of having a flashy lead, rather than something that actually truly worked with the song and felt like it belonged there.
