3 stars This is my least favorite DT album. I am a huge fan of their work. But this album just feels and sounds too commercial for my tastes. There are parts of the album that are classic like Panic Attack and Octavarium. But there's a lot here that wonders if they were writing for the record executives. I was truly anticipating something a little better from these guys. I understand even as fans we're gonna have our favorites and not every release is gonna be as good. But for the money the title track is the only song that makes this CD worth purchasing. I still listen to it and hope their next effort is a little more heavier. So I sit here and wait for about 4 months until the newest CD comes out.
