Poor man's Fozzie.

Album Rating: 2.0

Definitely. Fozzie rules.

Album Rating: 4.0

Fozzie is adorable.



It's not that this really isn't memorable. To me the more poppy side of metal just doesn't appeal to me. That's why Awake is my fav and the poppy moments on there are miles more memorable than here.

DT forgot how to write a good pop metal tune

Fozzie has developed a cult following, along with HorrorBusiness78.....love em both!

I agree; Rudess has some nice parts on this, but that's about it. Even Sherinian was much more interesting.

Album Rating: 5.0

Rudess seems to have little creativity or maybe it's just suppressed by the other band members.



I kind of want him to influence the band more, like more stuff like that sweet piano break in Blind Faith

What a classic.

"It's hardly poorly written. I'm still amazed they got most of it to rhyme and it's pretty genius"



I admit this is by far DT's best-written album, from a lyrical standpoint. The way the storylines intertwine is indeed nice and well-thought at times, and there's some images and metaphors that are actually genuinely poetic at times. The thing is: as there are beautiful stanzas scattered here and there, most of it consists mainly of pointless and repetitive narration.

It's a complex narrative, but not one of which you can appreciate the complexity in that it is rewarding and interesting in any way. It's intricate, but meaningless, not much unlike the band's music nowadays. And, if it had been treated in another way, perhaps less seriously, with the band accepting the fact that the story they had created was perfectly overblown and farfetched, the concept could have been amusing.

Because as I try taking it seriously, the whole album just ends up devoid of all meaning; and it's a bit ironic that such a complex, ostensibly rich storyline serves absolutely no purpose whatsoever.

>I admit this is by far DT's best-written album, from a lyrical standpoint.



kek no, opinions are great but that would be an album that didnt have merlin the bald keyboardist in it.



Also the lyrics on this are iffy, it goes back and forth between boring conversation and embarrassingly trite melodrama in too many places

Album Rating: 3.5

@Parallels Yeah from a narration point of view the lyrics do suck, and they do in general as well, but this is the only DT album on which you can find individual lines that are interesting or well-written in the slightest (with the exception, maybe, of some songs written by Moore). I would never go as far as qualifying it poetic by any means, though.



Also, Merlin the bald keyboardist was never a part of the band's lyrical process

what are you guys even talking about?!?!? you wouldn't settle in and go on this musical journey with Terry Brown?

Album Rating: 4.5

still my fav DT album

Album Rating: 3.5

Terry Brown is definitely a better producer than he's a voice actor. I'll admit he wasn't given lines that could reveal anyone's acting talent though.

But seriously he does an acceptable job I guess
