I think that it's a great album, great composition and transitions, excelent Jordan Rudess with his magic fingers and of course, great recording of guitars like always, excelent vocal stems, songs like Bridges in the sky will be contemporanean classics. In my reflexion to Mike Mangini, after listening the album many times, I think that his work in the album was perfect and correct, no more and no less. What do you think?

I have played it once since buying it. I think that tells a lot.

Many people says, "When I need to listen the album many times to feel It, are something wrong"... But, i'm with the people that enjoy discovering the new albums till enjoy with it, I would erase from my mind the album "Dark Side Of The Moon" to feel again the extasis!! hehe

An Undramatic Continuation of the Last 10 Years would have been a better title, and perfectly sums up why I dont like DT these days, though I still greatly enjoy there early albums.
Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

hehe, it's really hard do something new when the ingredients works finally.
Many classic fans love early years, but in the last years the band has managed to bring along many more.

What many people can't stand about DT is the thing that I love about them. If I buy a car I want the best car that I can possibly get for my money - the same goes for me when I listen to musicians. If I have a favorite guitarist I want that guitarist to be able to outplay most if not all of his opposition and I want him to prove it.
Prog music undoubtably holds probably the best musicians in the world relating to their instruments and that is one of the primary reasons that I am drawn to prog. Sure songwriting is important and, to me, melody and the dramatic are very important. I want music to take me on a trip when I listen to it.
People can argue all they like about Dream Theater and their dislike or liking of them but one factor stands head and shoulders beyond anything else relating to them - they can play and they do.
So - while some are crying, shouting and yowling about how much they hate DT I'm smiling while I watch finger blistering passages that many instrumentalists would find virtually impossible to emulate.
The one thing that the haters cannot deny is the ability of the different members of DT and if they deny them then my smile kinda broadens a lot as I know better - way better.

Musically never doubt to DT, and I'll wait for album after album with the same feeling and nervousness. Approve

The best, most consistent album they've had in a while, and best overall album since Scenes From A Memory or Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence.

That's far to be true
But now my branches suffer
And my leaves don't bear the glow
They did so long ago

^ In terms of raw technical ability; there are jazz, flamenco, and classical musicians that would make most prog musicians pee their pants

In my opinion, DT are one of the exceptions. Petrucci, Myung, Portnoy, Sherinian, Rudess and Mangini are all some of the most skilled musicians around today.

I wish that were true. Or at least I wish I could agree with you. To me it is their least appealing since Octavarium
