Both times I try listening to this I never got past When Your Time Has Come... The first five or six tracks create a sort of cinematic, continuous flow of ideas, and I don't mind that, they're mostly decent at what they're aiming for I think... What they're aiming at is still ludicrous
It's just so confused and inconsistent. A provisional 3 I say, slightly better so far than the self-titled which additionally to the terrible production they both share, completely lacked focus

"yeah ppl so quick to presume 1s are trolls. id give this a very low score probaly"



I surely don't think all 1s are troll ratings but just take a look at the eight 1s and the 1.5 in a row voted all on January 31 and their respective accounts (several of them created the same day, mainly extreme ratings, no comments etc.) – this def looks like trolls at work to me.

There are much more reviews written for this now, and still the ratings are all over the place.

They'll probably settle on something once a staff/contrib review pops up, if it pops up.

As a musician myself I have to admit that musically there are a lot of good things happening on this monster. And considering that I don't pay too much attention to lyrics, it certainly makes it easier to swallow. But I can see why people hate it so much: bands like Yes lost a lot of their fans when they started to be too bombastic and it's exactly what DT does here.
