True!

They’ve been slogging pretty much relentlessly for the last 20+ years.
Why not just take a bit more time so they can all get their heads together.

It was kinda obvious that something was up with him when he sat in for Ax7.

Great Drummer, shame they just didn’t let him have a break.

Having said that though, haven’t been as impressed with his drumming (don’t get me wrong, still awesome) as I was when I first listened to Images & Words.

Will be interesting to see who they get in to replace him and how their music evolves (he was a bit of a control freak).

I have no doubt that he will re-join at some later stage.

Thomas Lang would be an insane replacement. He can play other instruments too, so the writing would take a whole new perspective.

John Petrucci has stated they still have every intention to go in the studio in January and that he’s really excited about the future.

I think a shake up like this is exactly the motivation they need to produce another classic like Images and Words or Scenes From A Memory ! Even though Black Clouds & Silver Linings was the best thing since Six Degrees IMO.
