I like the album, but the songs are either songs that you love or hate.  This is one of the few Dream Theater albums that i see as one in song to song format rather than album format.  Songs like In the Name of God and Stream of Conciusness are absolutely amazing, but other songs like As I Am or Honor Thy Father are average at best.

     Speaking of trains, can we get off this loving or hating train?
There's lots of levels to appreciate music on, but hating isn't
really one of them. I mean, not counting Britney Spears.

I like it but don't love it and is not as bad as the review say. Although it is more heavy than previous works, and I really like DT for their good vibe like in I&W, SFAM and SDOIT, I found it like they where trying to balance out their work because SDOIT was almost always soft and then TOT was super heavy. I look at it as a team between the soft SDOIT with the hard TOT.

I've been to their Train of thought -tour concert in Rotterdam and played live the songs are so much more powerfull then on the album, they also played some ToT this year on the Octavarium tour concerts in Amsterdam.

After hearing the songs played live I started to "love" this album.

Yes, indeed it is better than Octavarium : DT do on this album a good combination of metal and prog and there are no filler.

 I only checked it out recently and thought it was only OK. I thought 'As I Am' and the instrumental track to be the most interesting songs. I'll give it a few more spins to see if it grows on me further.

I am a huge dream theater fan but train of thought is by far the worst album they have made.The only song that keeps my attention for the entire song is sot and thats only sometimes and vacant would have been great if labrie didnt ruin it so i wouldnt say i hate it but i dislike it quite a bit.

Really great album. As a fan of both progressive rock and metal it really appeals to my taste, it gives Dream Theater the excuse to be a wank/shred fest. Although I like to consider it a one time deal and expect more clever songwriting from their other material.
