OK, I'm not a big fan of Dream Theater or Prog-Metal in general, so maybe it's not surprising that I was not very impressed with this new album, their first since drummer extraordinaire Mike Portnoy re-joined the band. There is no denying the excellent musicianship on display here and the sound is great, but there is just too much metal and not enough prog influences present here to work well for me. I think many were hoping that there would be more of a return to the old Dream Theater with Portnoy's return, but this sounds just like their last few albums, which I have tried to get into, but it just doesn't click for me. Not bad, just not that great. Rating 3.0
