Good to see Dream Theater are dialing down their tendency towards pompous ambition...

I listened to the record one time and can't say I was that impressed. It just seems like a bunch of generic Dream Theater songs on one record....I'll have to listen some more but it didn't hit me on first listen.

Always thought this was a big step up from At War With Satan. In some ways, as gravelly as Welcome To Hell, perhaps more so.

A solid but not spectacular showing for the musclebound ex-Misfit. A better vocalist could have truly elevated this release to ghoulish grandeur.

Good to see Dream Theater are dialing down their tendency towards pompous ambition...


It is a dreadfully pompous album. Been listening today, quite dreary and hookless too, with far too many ballads. Will probably grow on me with further listens, but not sure I have that much time to waste. Makes Book of Souls seem like a snappy masterpiece in comparison!

Yeah, I don't know if Husker got my original comment, but I was being very sarcastic. I think I liked Train of Thought ages ago, but I'm too old for this shit now.

Indeed. Rush 's 2112 album was under forty minutes, the track barely over 20. What arrogance to think you can make two hours of music on basically the same concept, defeating evil with the power of music?! It's crippling even if not free from the 70s charm of the setting. Bring back Portnoy, all is forgiven!
