Pretty much; though Ive warmed up to it in recent years. I have a lot of emotional attachment to Octavarium, so I was expecting a lot with SC. It also came out at a time when I had moved away from almost all prog music, and was mostly listening to jazz and funk.
BC&SL rekindled my interest in DT and prog music in general. I would give BC&SL 5 stars if A Rite Of Passage were removed from the track listing, as I feel it ruins the flow of the album (though an ok song as it is, not the best, but ok.)

ADTOE exceeded my expectations. It's the album I expected after Octavarium.

Yeah I love TOT. That was their perfected metal album. I think that's where SC and Black Clouds failed slightly. (though still good albums since Dream Theater is unable to make a bad album). And I will give love to the track on TOT Honor Thy Father. Does anybody else think that track is just ridiculous? Especially the drum intro? WOW
