Honestly, I think this record is really good. It would be best if they made Far from Heaven a little shorter, cause it is really nice how it has the same little theme that reoccurs in Breaking All Illusions (which is one of the best tracks they've written).

People say Breaking All Illusions picks up some of Too Far From Heaven's motifs, but I just can't find anything like that. Can someone show me an example, please?

(I agree with you btw. Too Far From Heaven feels a little too long imo)

The theme isn't that obvious, I think it's mostly just the vocal melodies in the last part of the song

Lost Not Forgotten and Bridges in the Sky are the true highlights here imo

Yea, Breaking All Illusions is still one of their best to me. I never liked Outcry that much tbh. Still not skipworthy though, the track is fine

The chorus to Bridges is fucking incredible... some of the best DT catharsis

Man I think this record's highlights are some of the best Dream Theater moments, this record would've been a classic if it didn't have 'Build me up...' and had one ballad less

Lost Not Forgotten's chorus is awesome, too. I love how the last chorus has more lines and is more intense in general

And yea, cut Too Far From Heaven, the other ballads are cheesy but fine. I love Beneath The Surface tbh

Super underrated, yeah





I like this way more than Black Clouds, actually - feels like less of a rehash and the lyrics are slightly more tolerable
