| Neither. I don't find it as bad as others do, but I can't honestly say I love it. As a matter of fact, I don't love anything DT have done so far. Love is far too strong a word. |

I don't like it even though I like metal. I think the emphasis of the album was on heaviness and they lost the sense of melody. Octavarium is better. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/BobGreece/?chartstyle=basicrt10">

F'n love it! At first I was fairly so-so with this, but over time and
watching Drums of Thought, the Making Of and Live in Budokan, this has
grown on me soo fast..same goes for 6DOIT!

There's some "...And Justice for all" vibe to "This Dying Soul", so the graduates of the What Some Bloke in the Pub Told Me University and the Hear One Riff You Know The Whole Album Conservatory are perfectly justified in their opinion. ------------- "In war there is no time to teach or learn Zen.

Why is it always Love it or Hate it???? Where is the "Like it" option? I don't love it,I don't hate it,but I like it.I like the heaviness of it but think compared to their other work it is a sub-par DT album. -------------  |

| Right on Progtologist- seems to be a lot of black and white opinions on the postings. What about the myriad colours between. Even a computer can cram in 16 million variations between those two extremes, and it only knows the difference between on or off |

There's a quotation from "Blackened" in the vocal melodies somewhere in the middle. There's also a famous quotation from Baudelaire's "Au lecteur" in Eliot's "The Wasteland". So "The Wasteland" is a copy of "Au lecteur", then?

| 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. |

| good album, but definetly not dt's best. i like their older material a lot more. so i'm somewhere between love and hate. |

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. ------------- Dream Sequencer System Offline |

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. |

Yes, indeed it is better than Octavarium : DT do on this album a good combination of metal and prog and there are no filler. ------------- "Magma was the very first gothic rock band" (Didier Lockwood) |

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. |

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.

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 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. -------------
