"Really playing into my love of Jason Molina here, this is straight up another Magnolia Electric Co., just a little louder. Also, the production on this is near perfection, the clarity and space around every part is immaculately executed." Reply

"I was a big Dream Theater fan up to Octavarium, but started losing interest when Systematic Chaos was released, and although I've listened to most of the albums released since a few times, I've never gone back to them the same way as their earlier stuff. So from someone who is a bit of a lapsed f..." [+] Reply
"I may need to give this more time, but right now, it's a bit underwhelming. And look, following up Psychic--an album whose greatness has only become clearer with time--was always going to be a daunting, if not insurmountable task.
