I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting much from this album. I've not been exactly high on James LaBrie's solo stuff, nor have I been much satisfied with Dream Theater for that matter, but that's another story. So, I approached Impermanent Resonance with enough bias to confirm my doubts and thus it didn't disappoint me, if I can express it like this. My initial impression was of an album that is quite OK music-wise, but totally inaccessible due to its sound and production.

I guess because the guitar player more a solo artist than a metal guitarist,that's the reason there is lack of riffs ---- The Fangirl. Loading...

Mountain King K i K o Posts: 1361	Permalink 19.09.2020 - 20:08 Rating: 7 Mountain King K i K o Posts: 1361 I prefer the mid paced and slower songs on this one, like "Lost In The Fire" "Back On The Ground" & "Say You're Still Mine". The bonus track "Unraveling" is great as well. It is an enjoyable listen and his vocals fit more his solo work than DT, still not as good as "Elements Of Persuasion". Loading...
