Album Rating: 1.5

You keep saying "boring" and Myung and Mangini don't add much and yet you gave it a "Great" rating. What was actually so superb about it that brought the rating up to a 3.5 then?

34 tracks of Dream Theater? kill me please

Ok...


This is indulgent and bloated trash at its purest form.

Pretty much.

Its like these guys never stepped back and said "Hey I think we may be going a little overboard with this shit."

Instead we got the musical equivalent of a clogged toilet.

pessimists

So can somebody tell me, honestly, is this worth sitting through? I'm only a fairweather DT fan to begin with...

If you liked six Degrees but wish it had only two riffs and went on for an extra forty five minutes and was made up of 90% ballads then it will be right up your alley.

Album Rating: 3.0

the number 1 complaint about this is the length and pretty much nothing else tbh

Album Rating: 1.5 | Sound Off

I've seen other complaints:

1. No riffs

2. Phoned-in drumming

3. Inaudible bass

4. Atrocious lyrics

Album Rating: 3.0

fair enough, but overall I feel like people are just giving this 1's and 1.5's just for the length alone.

I've heard enough tbh. If people aren't raving about this straight across the board I probably wouldn't like it.

Album Rating: 3.0

if you want give it a shot. I would advise going through it in a couple sittings, especially for non DT fans

what's the best track?

A New Beginning



@Voodman because those are the things that are wrong with it, but they don't ruin the record for me, it still has awesome moments, and I love how they are doing something new

Well, there's good cheese and there's bad cheese. Scar Symmetry is good cheese.

"Scar Symmetry is good cheese."

PBP yeah, but holographic universe is borderline bad cheese
