As I listened to it more, I began to understand the album: three young, cocky musicians full of piss and vinegar stretching themselves to their musical limits, anchored by Levin's bass/stick. Levin's role is to keep the music hanging together, almost like a musical mentor laying back and letting his students shine while keeping everything tight. Petrucci shows his chops as a flamethrower of a guitarist in the Steve Vai-Joe Satriani school of shredding, Portnoy shines as a drummer equal to, and similar to, Rush's Neal Peart, and Levin, though rarely taking the limelight, holds everything together. The (at the time) lesser-known Rudess is a fine addition, adding lovely, and at times frenzied, keyboards, probably best compared to "Relayer"-era Patrick Moraz. The songs themselves work the gray area between jazz and progressive rock, with a metallic edge. Tracklisting: 1. Paradigm Shift (8:55) 2. Osmosis (3:26) 3. Kindred Spirits (6:29) 4.
