I just miss the heavy melodic epicness of a song like The Drapery Falls. There's so much emotion in that song, both in the music and the lyrics. They've been lacking on that front for a while now.
I'm not fully through the new one yet, but I'm not enjoying the choppiness of it as much. Not a big fan of being progressive for the sake of being progressive. Their older material felt like it had more of a soul to it.
They were just on tour with a fan-selection playlist. That only contained one song of their Deep Purple era and was full of classics, otherwise. Those shows were pretty amazing.
This band's profile is 'invisible', meaning that it's much less prominent on the site - either because it's incomplete, or maybe doesn't entirely fit MS format.
