I see. Well, I just can't agree here. I'll admit that some wankery here is good, but overall there is too little impact with too many notez for me. And also Dream Theater seem to know their formula a little too well on this point. It's just not interesting at all and lacks the energy DoT had, in other words: boring.

I'm gonna bump it down to a 3.0

See, but that's kinda the selling point for me when it comes to both this and DoT. I have absolutely no problem with them playing it safe if it prevents another disaster like The Astonishing from happening again

The Astonishing managed to be safe and risky at the same time, while gaining nothing and falling flat in every way. That truly astonishing. But I have to admit, I do admire having the balls for doing something like that lmao

think this is their best since like six degrees. very conservative by their standards but the pieces fit together better than usual for them
