Just got an email from Dream Theater. It says "with additional dates to be announced soon. " (in regards to the US tour) Now that I read it from the band themselves, I believe it.
 
I like it, but is spoils the sequence LNF -> BITS -> Outcry a bit for me, which would otherwise probably be the best three song sequence in DT's discography (well, if you - correctly - disqualify Ministry -> ITPOE 2 -> ITPOE 1 :p )
 
I really liked LNF a while ago, now it's just a song with a lot of wasted potential. The crazy time and rhythm changes around the chorus are getting on my nerves. And Outcry is a wankfest. Bridges In The Sky is amazing.
 
Bridges In the Sky is definitely the best of the 3, but it also has the worst instrumental section. LNF and Outcry have much better instrumental sections but the stuff around them isn't as good, especially with Outcry.

ADTOE is an enjoyable album but I think in the grand scheme of things it's going to end up being the most (for lack of a better word) useless in the DT discog. Every other album has its own sound and style, ADTOE is just a bland retreading of I&W's sound. Might as well just listen to that.
