"Their best music is when it's patient and has room to breathe..."



Totally agree to that, and that's exactly what Distance Over Time is lacking. Time to develop and breathe. Most songs are over before they even begin...

DoT is way more organic and energetic than the three albums before it though and that's why I prefer it to ADToE, s/t or TA

It's in another league than the Astonishing for sure, and slightly more enjoyable than s/t and Dramatic Turn agreed. But I really think they waste a lot of potentially great ideas there. At Wit's End is such a great track, my fav on DOT by far, but the ending is a shame. It feels rushed and unfinished, and the fade out is just unworthy...

Count of Tuscany is still a top-5 DT song ever

I don't see how At Wit's End feels unfinished tbh. But I don't enjoy Room 137 and Untethered Angel that much and it's true that these songs could have been better if they were more fleshed out

I guess you could say that cover for a recording of Scriabin's Nuances and Preparation for the Final Mystery (this thing: https://resources.wimpmusic.com/images/209876f0/d239/4f7e/841a/350562e75baf/640x640.jpg) is worse, but at least that one is funny (same with A Change of Seasons, that one is funny too). This one is just very ugly.

I could listen to this, give it 5.0, and even then I would only come to this thread to say how bad that cover is. It's so damn ugly. Ugly.
