This just happened over the weekend:
I have, and I'm liking a lot of what I'm hearingDid anybody watch the trailer for the album yet? I think it probably previews every song on the album.
Is it any good?
From what I'm listening to, it creates a much better first impression than The Astonishing... However, to me, DT has been -since Train of Thought- what Metallica has been to many people since Load: a shadow of its former, great self. Let's give it time, so as to get a clearer picture, then.Is it any good?
I’ll see if I can find it a bit later tonight. I may just end up waiting though.From what I'm listening to, it creates a much better first impression than The Astonishing...

A few agreable ideas here and there ("Room 137" and "S2N"), but also cheesiness ("At Wit's End" and especially "Out of Reach").
- "Pale Blue Dot" is not particularly interesting at first listen, in the sense that they have done it before (rehash of SFAM aplenty... oh, plus an end à la "Octavarium" that has been tacked there).
- I like "Viper King" much more than the "traditional" contents, too bad it is just a bonus track. Some Deep Purple feel in there. Hunting on Sons of Apollo's territory, are we?
Well, I'm not one who gives up on bands they used to like a lot (though it has been a lot now since I can still consider myself "a fan"), so I'm going to listen to it again soon.![]()
It depends if you're speaking about "A Change of Seasons" or "The Count of Tuscany"... that is: on your definition of a "good" track.This is album was really missing a good 19-25 minute track
