Liquid Tension Experiment 3 is a remarkable return for one of | Prog Metal

Liquid Tension Experiment 3 is a remarkable return for one of progressive metal’s greatest instrumental troupes. It delivers exactly what band enthusiasts expect—no more and no less—with eight pieces that constitute some of the most dauntingly intricate, endearingly colorful, and/or calmly melodic passages the foursome have ever penned. Sure, they don’t really step out of their comfort zone or challenge themselves (or listeners) with radical new directions, but they don’t need to. Instead, they play into their strengths and most adored characteristics to satisfy as much as possible.
