Supper's Ready might not be a cohesive composition, but it's 23 minutes just flying by. A suite consisting of killer songs

You can say that about any long song then, cant have the same theme all the way through

True, but there are only very few reprises at all and coming back to themes would help to make it more cohesive. The funny thing about SR is imo that it works despite its lack of cohesiveness tho. That's what makes it special, kinda like Black Rose Immortal.

tbh most 20+ songs i can come up with dont have much reprises, like 2112 got a couple, but SR, anesthetize, a change of seasons etc, go through several "songs" which cant be songs on their own

Yea, A Change of Seasons has some choppy moments tbh, but I don't mind them since it's so magical. Anesthetize is kind of three songs, even PT refer to it that way iirc. That's all fine imo. Octavarium on the other hand is full of recurring motifs and all that stuff. That's pretty cohesive for a 20+ minutes track

Idk, I always though Change of Seasons flowed incredibly well. But yeah, Anesthetize is pretty much three songs rolled into one... luckily they all fit really well together so the whole thing works nicely

It does flow well, but there are one or two instances where the changes feel pretty drastic imo. These lomgtracks really challenge your perception of what "song" means I guess

I guess I'm speaking in a relative sense here, since there have been so many modern prog metal songs (not all, mind) that are just riff salad with no coherence at all (which is the biggest problem I have with bands like Haken and Thank You Scientist). Back in DT's 90s era everything seemed to flow so well, even when they created long epics. I especially love how with Change of Seasons everything gets wrapped up really well by ending with the acoustic bit that started the whole thing

Agreed, DT's 90s material was really smooth and purposeful. Especially A Change of Seasons is really magical material, I'm jist nitpicky here.
I'm really ambivalent towards Haken for many reasons, but ineffective songwriting on their earlier albums is definitely one of them. They got more cohesive though, but then other turn offs emerged.
Very few bands seem to be able to pull off a 20 minute song like DT can tbh. Supper's Ready is still a suite for me, not a cohesive song. But it's a damn good one.

I think one of the most impressive examples of a modern prog epic that actually flows incredibly well is Sleeping in Traffic by Beardfish. It's astounding that a 35+ minute song can fly by so quickly, but they pull it off really well. But yeah, DT is usually really good with lengthy epics. I think the only one I was ever a little disappointed with was Illumination Theory, mostly because the symphonic part in the middle drags on for so long
