I don't agree with this one. I see that on Octa and Chaos the material was rarely there and the feel certainly was not, but now on BC&SL they finally got everything in line for the first time since Six Degrees. And did it perhaps even better. Now after about ten listens I've got a feeling that it might be the best album since Awake, but it takes more to really see if it's the case. I'm extremely pleasantly impressed by the new album.

As I am about Kayo Dot's Choirs of the Eye. My friend pressured me to give it a listen and I might have to buy it even.
It's on PA!

I really want to hear them, been looking for their albums for a couple years now Big smile

If you haven't heard The Lake and the River yet (it's on their PA page), do so. If you don't like that song, you have no soul. Big smile

The End is Begun is an album I've listened to more than a normal human being should have. I can't wait for the 2 new ones they're coming out with later this year. Big smile

even if you don't like the 46-minute long suite you have to admit that it's an ambitious concept and they executed it perfectly with an intense amount of emotion.


Plus A Nightmare To Remember erks me because I've had a couple of friends who died in car crashes

does no one else find the majority of BC&SL to be lifeless? The material is there but the energy most certainly isn't. Even listening to Systematic Chaos they were way better off


Agreed 100%

I love the first disc of 6 Degrees to death (I think Petrucci had some of his best guitar playing ever in Glass Prison for example), but the second disc bores me unless I'm in the mood for it. Although I suspect that's because of my personal taste. Still a good 4 star album though.

Yea, I loved Train of Though. It's my favorite album by them.
Guess Im still a metal head after all

Well, I love Train of Thought myself. But after that.........

Train of Thought was my 3rd favorite DT album, but it's been overtaken by Black Clouds.

@Mike: Are you in the school of "Dream Theater fans who want Kevin Moore back"? Tongue

The MORE you listen to it!?
Well you beat me.
ONE listen was plenty for me.

I regret wasting my money on that piece of crap
