"I owned this before Business As Usual and although the strongest tracks are maybe not quite as strong as the ones on BAU, overall IMO, it is more consistent. BAU had two tracks I thought weakened it, this doesn't have any, therfore this just shades it for me (although they both get 8.5/10)."  Reply

"Sauna feels more spacious, existentially darker & introspective than its three predecessors. Which - speaking of - makes this one feel like the final iteration of a series that began with Clear Moon (the lightest of the three) and continued on with Ocean Roar. Even though 2009's Wind's Poem unque..."  [+]  Reply

"Mercury Falling is one of Sting's weaker works. The set of songs aren't memorable and most feed into the perception that Sting is pretentious. Singles like I'm So Happy I Cant Stop Crying are corny. Hung My Head and Hounds of Winter are good songs. I generally skip over this album in the Sting ca..."  [+]  Reply

"On this ninth studio opus, built as a concept-album, the Manchester combo finds A LITTLE groove of his youth. On a certainly monotone tempo, the pieces are linked without breaks. The robotics "Eve Of Destruction" immediately imposes its frantic pace. The musical recipe has not changed fundamental..."  [+]  Reply

"The length really hurts this album, when it used to be one of the strong points of Dream Theater. I mean, I appreciate the effort, but it's like they wanted to achieve another Scenes from a Memory, in this era of the band. And it really makes you uncomfortable..."  Reply
