10000 days is a great albumn, but not 5 star worthy. This is mostly because it, like many albumns today, doesn't add up to being anything close to Genesis, Yes, Crimson, Rush... etc.

However, in any case I'll rate the albumn by song.

Vicarious- Great opener, in 10 time. Cool intro, and overall good song.--9/10

Jambi- Great song, cool rhythm during the guitar solo. Awesome use of awkward time signature. Lyrics are great, and a strange mixture of creepy and pleasant sounding.--10/10

Wings For Marie- I know you will all shun me, but this isn't my favorite tune on the albumn. Actually, I think they should have put it and 10000 days together, then shortened the remainder.--5/10

10000 Days (Wings Part II)- I like this one way better than wings, but it still could be shorter. I'd say cutting a little off the guitar solo out... and I dunno. Anyway...--8/10

The Pot- Great freaking tune. Groovy bass line, and sweet sounding vocals. Also the "Weeping shades of indigo" part is pretty awesome. 10/10

Lipan Conjuring- I actually enjoy this tune. It's wierd and pointless, but cool.--7/10

Lost Keys (Blame Hoffman)- Sweet relaxing tune, but extremely repetetive.--6/10

Rosetta Stoned- My least favorite track on the albumn. Just 11 minutes of stupidity.--2/10

Intension- Not my favorite, but it's pretty cool. Sweet effects and such.--6/10

Right in Two- My favorite tune on the albumn. It's mostly in 11 time, which makes it doubly cool. And overall it's change in dynamics, killer drum solo, and sweet heavy parts make it amazing. 10/10

Viginti Tres- Wasted track, they could have put another cool song in this posotion instead of wasting everyone's time.--0/10

Yup, there we go. Some of my favorite tunes ever, and some of my least favorite tunes ever. But if you don't have it, buy the albumn, then burn a copy without Rosetta Stoned and Viginti Tres.

Over all the albumn ends up being 6.63 repeating, divide that by 2 and we get 3.318181818... etc.
