One of their better ballads post 6deg. Sure as hell beats Build Me Up, Break Me Down

Album Rating: 3.0

Everything beats build me up



and of course lifting shadows is a ballad

Album Rating: 4.0

Love how haunting disappear is, but doesn't beat Wait For Sleep

Album Rating: 3.0

Yeah wait for sleep might be best

Album Rating: 4.0

Gotta love LaBrie's vocals in wait for sleep. It's got the right balance and the only thing that comes close is Space Dye Vest

Album Rating: 4.0

This album blew me away when I first heard it. I thought it was the best since SFAM.

Album Rating: 3.0

Disappear's a weird one definitely their best 00's ballad

Album Rating: 4.0

Agreed. Vacant would be great, but its length really limits it.

Album Rating: 3.0

Vacant's fine, it's kinda just there. At least it's subtle. Speaking of DT ballads This is the life is really underrated and probably their best since Repentance

Album Rating: 4.0

I thought it was alright. Too many people were cynical over ADTOE before it was even released and it's actual pretty solid

Album Rating: 3.0

Yeah it's probably tied with this for best post-6Deg for me, it does the enjoyable sounding heavy progressive rock thing a little better than FII and has a little less shit than it too

Album Rating: 4.0

Sounds just about right, but it's not gonna be beat ToT or BC&SL for me



Weird how everything I've said is all from memory and I haven't listened to DT properly in well over a year. FII and ADTOE definitely need another chance. I have them both down as 3's right now

Album Rating: 3.0

ADTOE is a 3.5 at least, it has four amazing songs and a great ballad. FII is probably 3.3 for me, 5 really great songs, a couple decent ones, and 5 shit ones

Album Rating: 4.0

It's a shame really, the awful tracks on FII really do bring down its overall quality

Album Rating: 3.0

Yeah even more so that those 5 songs are some of their most enjoyable and best they've done, they even rival most of the stuff on Awake. That's one thing it has over ADTOE, it's really genuine and natural/organic

Album Rating: 4.0

All this talk just makes me kinda anxious for their album next year in hopes that it resembles something like FII. Wishful thinking, sadly.

Album Rating: 3.0

I think ADTOE is the closest we'll get. Though the s/t sort of tried but was way too overbearing and sterile

Album Rating: 4.0

Too 'epic' without the epic part. Still curious as to what they do next though

Album Rating: 3.0

S/t was their most critically and commercially successful in years so probably a part 2 of that :/

Album Rating: 4.0

Whoa, really? Didn't realise that so you're probably right and they'll just want to do what makes their current echelon of fans happy
