Blind Faith is probably top 5 DT material, so gud...

Listening to this again right now, and it still kicks so much ass... I might have to bump this to a 4.5. To me, this marks DT's final classic-era record. Everything from Train of Thought onward pretty much has a different sound and overall vibe than the preceding era

Totally agreed, this marks the end of the classic DT era. And it absolutely deserves a 4.5, it's so organic and sounds so natural and unforced... Even Rudess shows he has some feeling hidden under all his technicality.

I'm not through the title track yet, but this sounds pretty promising so far. Classic Dream Theater isn't half as wanky and pretentious as most critics claim.
I'm slowly becoming a fan of a band I once hated, haha.

I can't help but feel like the t/t is overlong. There are cool parts, I looooove Solitary Shell, Goodnight Kiss and About To Crash for example, but the finale is kinda lame. It could have been cut down

I can't see this grow on me any further, but it's a nice record, even though it's kinda bloated.

It's interesting how this is probably their most artistic
and experimental record and yet there is some of the classic DT vibe left. I just wish the title track would work better

This is an awesome record. IMO the title track works perfectly, though the first disc is arguably more interesting.

Idk, Overture and the Finale part don't do it for me, the other songs are fine. Also I see the separate chapters as distinct songs, the changes happen pretty suddenly. This doesn't bother me at all tbh, but it's just not one song to me.

I've never really thought of it as one song... it's more like a suite. I like all of the movements though and I find they flow together pretty naturally.
The overture could be seen as a throwaway, but I guess they put it there as a means of tying all the songs together and foreshadowing the finale. I think it works pretty well, but it doesn't grab my attention as much as the other movements. I think the finale is gorgeous and perfectly executed, but I can see why someone wouldn't like it as much. It's a bit odd.

The two discs really do feel like two separate albums, and I'm honestly fine with that. I love all the material.

I also prefer disc one as a whole to the title track but some parts of the t/t are among their best material.
