A good product, I prefer the acoustic version, I don't like Mr. James Labrie's voice too much. Anyhow they are great muscians, best track 1,4,5. The 5th in my opinion is a tribute to the music of Rush band. I know that Mr. Portnoy really love this band and Mr. Pert's sound, but the guitar is very similar to Mr. Lifeson's too. Enjoy it!
