Not good at all. black clouds was vastly superior on all fronts.
Sadly true for the most part.

I want this so bad i have have already pre rated it 10
clearly you are yet another user whose votes are dubious at best... and boom goes the dynamite.
dude i dont care if my votes count towards shit, im not one of them fags who cant stand it when megadeth or metallica get knocked off the top. I just have never been disappointed by dream theater, it doesnt mean that it will definately get a 10, in fact the time that you took to look into my profile and criticize me for it makes me not even what to take part in any discussions on this site. Everyone is entitled to an opinion no matter how bias (which is basically what an opinion is). Now i think you have just made me rage quit metal storm, oh well if you think it will make the world such a better place than so be it

See where playing with high explosives gets you? You've gone and killed Lachy
Haven't heard this one yet, but if it's anything like the last one it should be an enjoyable listen.

Listening to this right now, and am very disappointed by the vocal performance. It's cringe-worthy.

What? This is probably James' best vocal performance in years, in my opinion. I swear, some folks are never happy...

I'm not really much of a Dream Theater fan, I gave this a listen because I was curious. I didn't come bearing any great expectations or anything, and was disappointed.

I don't think it is his best vocal performance in years at all. It is just competent, it seems. If anything, it declined when you compare it to the previous album BCASL.

lols at Captain Overreaction. Doles out straight 10's to no less than 5 artists full discographies, gets them etch-a-sketched, and flies off the handle. life is hard.
it's funny how bitches complain about people scoring albums/artists with 1's as abuse... but whenever i point out voting to the obvious other extreme they flip out.
the more and more i deal with overrating freaks, the more i think we should just do away with the ability to rate anything and just set everything automatically to 10. that way everyone's drooling over their favorite band is validated, everything ever recorded is top (however many albums we list on this site at the time) ever. although it would make the MSA's a big pain in the ass to have to write a full 100-120 words on each and every release pumped out each year.
now back to DT.

Sounded like generic prog after first listen... but it took me like a year or so to like their previous album, so I'm not throwing my hopes away yet.

Jordan Rudess is back with more sounds than ever and Mike Mangini makes a solid appearance. Even James Labrie sounds good (well, a lot better than the previous albums). They have 4 killers songs above 10 minutes, in all of which we don't get to hear Portnoy's uninspired voice... what could we ask more?
I give it a 10! It's WAYYYY better than what I expected. I thought it would be hard for them to beat Symphony X's Iconoclast, but they just blasted it!! (unlike Systematic Chaos vs Paradise Lost).
Highlights : Lost Not Forgotten, Breaking All Illusions

After 4 listens, I remember one good long track, and three shitty short tracks. Not too good for DT standards so far...

They've never made an album this meh. And this is coming from a big fan of theirs and also someone who likes the latest albums. I know what I'm voting for when the biggest disappointment question gets asked at MS awards...

That one good track must be Breaking All Illusions. Awesome song.

I found it just about ok, there are some great moments on the album even though it seems to tread water at times. The solo's get a bit pretentious at times and seem overblown and bloated. Not a grabber, though I'm sure there are some moments of genius in there, somewhere. It'll take a few listens to unearth them.
After a few more listens the only thing that strikes me is how average this album is compared to past DT albums. Good in some parts, which are sadly few. I think it will be a while before I revisit this album.

It totally blew me away! I haven't been impressed by Dream Theater like this for a long time! Great introduction to their new drummer! I hope they use him better in the next album.

No self-indulgent passes because Petrucci had all the tracks done before. They just replicated them for the album.

I'm not comparing it to anything and I still don't like it. I'm not used to not liking Dream Theater, so this is quite painful for me.

Currently I'm in the middle of my 7th listen. I'm not comparing this album to anything. I'm just listening, because at the end of the day this is all that matters: the music itself, stripped of all references and contexts. And, I'm saddened to say, this is some seriously uninspired, forced excuse for music. I really like 2 tracks only: "Lost Not Forgotten" and "Breaking All Illusions". The rest blends togeter to form an unconvincing mass. Oh, "Build Me Up, Break Me Down", "This Is the Life" and "Far From Heaven" are absolutely terrible, pathetic attempts at radio exposure.

I have listened to it several times, and really, is not such a great thing... Is not a letdown because I expected nothing from this album
I mean, is not bad, but is not good either. The long songs sounded quite boring to me, it's different from the "old" DT
Anyway, didn't liked it
