Any love for BC&SL?

Not sure what you see as commonality between BC&SL and ADTOE.  Night and day to me.

I think you meant day after day and night after night.

I do like this album, though I do consider it to be the weakest in their catalog; though this speaks more about how DT has released consistently great albums than on BC&SL. With most of their albums, I find that I can listen to them over and over without getting tired of them. I can listen to this album every once in a while, and I enjoy it whenever I do, but I find that it wears out its welcome after a few listens. I attribute this mostly to the inconsistent quality of the first two tracks; both ANTR and ARoP are mostly comprised of exceptional moments, but have a few components that do not work. Coincidently, the parts I take issue with in both songs involve part of Jordan's solos and Mike's vocals. Due to this inconsistency in the first 25 minutes or so, I find it hard to motivate myself to listen to the album, even though the remaining two thirds are excellent. Unlike their other albums, I prefer to listen to parts of this one rather than the entire thing.

Plenty of love for this album. I'd be so bold as to put it at the #2 spot for me. It's the last Dream Theater album I ever listened to that really excited me right from the very first listen.

A Nightmare To Remember brought me into DT and I'd still call it my favorite song of them. But the ridiculous talking at 11 mins breaks the whole epicness every time for me >_> The only song I don't like of the album is The Best of Times. I love The Shattered Fortress and even The Count of Tuscany is on it, my second favorite

To me, it's not important to be able to listen over and over to an album and still like it. I always like to have some time between listening sessions, because it's so beautiful and great that I don't want to 'abuse' it, if that makes any sense.

I still think this album is pretty awesome, although it's not in my top 5 the way it was when it came out. Tracks like A Nightmare to remember, The Count of Tuscany and The Best of times are certainly among the band's best epic pieces, and Wither is a really sweet ballad that I'd love to hear live. I'm not a huge fan of The Shattered fortress, although it kicks ass in concert, to be honest.
