I “WITHER” FROM BOREDOM

Like Dream Theater’s latest effort Black Clouds & Silver Linings, the band’s new video for “Wither” — one of the meh-est tracks on an album full of meh — is completely stock and totally underwhelming. Footage of the band on the road / in their bus / back stage / signing shit / etc etc blah blah blah intercut with out-of-sync live footage of them performing the song… great.

But I still love this band to death and always will. Next time around I really hope they take the necessary time to write and record an album the proper way, like Scenes From a Memory and Six Degrees. And I’ll go see them live pretty much any time they come around.
