"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

"A mixed bag, the good is very good - Lorenzo, River So Wide, Dance, Oughta Know By Now, Just Another Story. The rest is pretty average. There's some decent drumming but not enough of it and a few tracks are lazy."  Reply

And the two most bitter and introspective tracks are also the best: the fairly subdued The Last Night and the one in which he release all his demons: Sacrifice/L..."  [+]  Reply
