part of me hopes the band breaks up rather than continue without portnoy.

I got into DT right after Images and Words hit the shelves. And since then they've released a few cd's I thought were less than stellar, but there isn't a week that goes by where I don't find myself listening to them.
Sucks that MP is out. But I feel like he was doing so much that his original wife got tired of all the mistresses begging for time and attention. I saw the list of work he did away from his baby and I was thinking, "that's kind of rough."
His style of drumming is awesome, and he's only had one song where I felt like he missed something (Metropolis Pt. 1-very end, should end with a massive set of slams around the kit instead of a lame fade). His live performance is totally consistent. He even can adapt well enough during covers that he's able to get into the mindset of non-prog music about two minutes into it.
