They're around 3.5s for me, each of their closers are among my all time fav DT songs but other than that idk, they do feel more genuine though than the ones they did for Roadrunner.

Imo, all albums since Six Degrees have decent if not excellent moments but they drag on for too long. I personally enjoy Systematic Chaos a lot, as I do with A Dramatic Turn Of Events. The others are just recs I'd listen to but that's just it.

Not commonly used on this site but yes that is a perfectly acceptable abbreviation.

Still not sure what he means by "just [records] I'd listen to". As opposed to?

"the challenge is to try to write and keep the style that we write in without straying from the thing that makes us unique"



These guys are hardly unique anymore

Sadly they seem really proud of this album in every interview I've seen or read

Well they have to be right? You wouldn't release something you're not proud of, unless you're being forced

to release a record (like FII, but that was a brilliant record nonetheless). And since this album and the

previous ones were "lighter" I have a feeing the next album is going to be really heavy, i.e extra bland and

generic



That JP comment is exactly what pisses me off about DT. He's clearly saying that they won't stray from their

style, meaning they're intentionally restricting themselves. He's still of that old mindset that prefers

longer songs

Black Clouds and A Dramatic Turn of Events are definitely their best since Octavarium
