Solid album, and I agree largely with the reviewers points. It's predictable for the most part, although there were some cool riffs that I didn't expect sprinkled throughout. Overall, I think DT is doing the best they can be for being like 30 years into their career. You're never going to get another Images and Words or Awake from them.

DoT had its moments but LaBrie's vocals were intolerable imo

I have no idea what the summary is referring to.
|

wait, this is actually... GOOD?
|

"Really, the album title and cover art say it all."
So this is a 1.5?

I like to write a random summary and then write review, then look at the summary and see it needs to be replaced to make sense. Probably happens a lot lol

I don't do it often, but this time I honestly didn't know what to write so I was just winging it :D

🥰🥰🥰 the new summary is good and pretty much a spot on account of this
|

Is this better than Distance Over Time? Is this a worthwhile listen, or is it just a second serving of their last record?
|
| |
old summary was better

not so much following Dream Theater stuff in General since i follow some Post-Metal music. the production is good. but It's too predictable.

Great review. I get Octavarium meets Scenes From a Memory vibes when I listen to this with a little bit of Distance Over Time thrown in. I don't enjoy this as much as Distance Over Time but it's still good, at least. We definitely need Portnoy back, though. This drummer is so damn bland. Yeah, he can play all the things, but all the things are so boring. I need Portnoy flair.

Still listening. Parts of this seem to sound less boring than usual DT stuff

Wow actually enjoying this. First DT record in a long time I didn't have to just shut off out of boredom.
|
| |
Wild how these guys make complex music with a wide umbrella of genre influences per song so boring and predictable.
This is better than recent efforts however.
|
| |
So this is actually pretty good. Answering the Call is fun, and Transcending Time is beautiful as hell.
The lyrics continue to be cringey and bland. Petrucci has written some iteration of
"Some will rely on the darkness
Some will rely on the light"
for like 6 straight albums now.

I don't think Dream Theater is ever going to give me something I don't expect at this point. They've hammered the hell out of their legacy to the point where it doesn't seem that malleable anymore.
Some riffs and leads were really cool in isolation, but I'm not feeling most of the overall compositions.
