BLACK CLOUDS & SILVER LININGS

Do you consider buying this album? I have better idea for you to save your money. Take Awake, Octavarium and Train Of Thought search for the most melodic parts and compile them makig new songs. That's what it is. I don't mind AC/DC recording same songs over and over again but Dream Theater appeared to be a progressive band. Am I wrong? I listened to this album in three takes. First one was that Nightmare To Remember nightmare I had to rest for a while from that noise after last tunes. I was considering not to even listening to this record cos I think last 3 or 4 albums even objectively are nothing to remember but when I read words from Portnoy 'it's gonna be something like Images And Words' I thought I should give this one a chance. Who will enjoy it? I don't know. Probably fans and kids who think that listening to DT makes them meeting true art. Wanna true art? Listen to Birth Control's Hoodoo Man or Jehtro Tull's Thick As A Brick. This one is a waste of time.
