Honestly I enjoy a lot of the wank on here, it sounds really good like modernized I&W

Yeah that's why this album is so good, the wank is not shitty and stupid. But yeah, sadly they seem

really hyped with their new direction, I don't think they'll stop before at least two other albums

that will sound worse every time

A lot of people bitched over this being unoriginal and too derivative of their previous work but I think they really pulled it off, I honestly wouldn't mind just getting more of that, at least as opposed to what they're doing now...

Yeah, with this one they just put everything back together and, even though it doesn't explore much new ground, it was one of their most solid in years

If this was released 2 years prior, I would have been all over it but I think I outgrew them by this point. I respect it for what it is and it is their most solid since 6Deg

With Portnoy's drumming, this could have been top 5 DT. Not that I always particularly enjoy Potrnoy's

style, really, but it just fits so much better

Amazing how this was apparently based on the structure of I&W yet its so inferior in quality its unreal.

This album has quite a two strong songs (Bridges in the Sky, Breaking All Illusions) but the rest are typical DT or subpar DT (Build Me Up, Break Me Down and Beneath the Surface)

I personally don't find anything wrong with Build Me Up or Beneath the Surface. It's the tracks in the middle that kill it for me.

Build me up is one of he worst songs they ever wrote and lost not forgotten has some annoying parts but is fine overall, rest is good or great besides there being too many ballads.

Some parts get reeaaally wanky though... I don't mind the ballads tbh and think lost and forgotten and build me up are great songs!

The ballads are lame, but still okay for DT's criteria

Breaking is indeed the best, with better production and cooler drumparts this album would've been amazing, i love outcry as well, that one would've really shined with good production

outcry is pretty bad. terrible lyrics, super annoying wankery and some wannabe epic synth work and chanting
