"I think Dream Theater dropped the ball a little bit here. On first listen, I found the album to be satisfactory, but repeated listens just drag it down. It's too cheesy and overblown for my tastes, especially since Octavarium promised a more atmospheric and mature direction. Songs like The Dark E..." [+] Reply
"An innovative release from the "Canadian Beatles" in 1976. Fans of ELO, the Beatles and 10cc will appreciate what this has to offer. The concept borders on parody at times, but pulls through with adventurous arrangements and engaging effects." Reply

"The obvious complaint about this album would be the skits/interludes/call them any way you like. Rashida's Tale was the one that I felt added something, but in general they broke the flow of the album.

"I am still stunned that this album didn't change the landscape of popular rock in the mid eighties. It was so much more catchy and lycically important than REM; less self righteous than U2; and just plain better than what other trash was being heaped onto non-college airways." Reply

"While Belladona instantly makes this band much better by being here, it's not just his addition to the group that marks large improvements from the debut. The writing is stronger, the riffs sharper, and the playing tighter. Everything just instantly has more of that Anthrax identity, even when th..." [+] Reply
