Absolutely phenomenal show. Cynic blew me away, they were sooo good, and I was pleasantly surprised by opener Dysrhythmia, they were really awesome. Intronaut sort of bored me. Full review coming later.

Review Here

I kinda felt the opposite way about the openers. I thought Intronaut crushed and Dysrhythmia dragged on a little.

Come on, man - where's the review? It better include the quote

Paul: "So we released a demo post-Focus"
Dude in audience: "YEAH YA' DID!"
Paul: "And it's different, but we kind of like it"
Dude: "IT WAS REALLY REALLY GOOD!"

Good grief, people were stoned at that show. Also, there was a hilariously distinct audience division between metalheads wearing black shirts and hipsters wearing colors until partway through Cynic's set. Gotta' love Allston.

Integral is different from Integral Birth. Observe:

It says right there in the description that it's a remake of Integral Birth.

They didn't just march out and play the Traced in Air version twice though, it's a distinction that must be made. And they made it. So no issue.
