Haha... I'll give you that, I always thought it was a bit weird. But then again, I still don't even know whether to believe you like the album or not, I definitely think you might... I should think that right?

INB4 SC bashing. :P

I don't.  I think it's a great album.  I have the special edition with the fancy cover and everything.

Ditto! I got mine pre-ordered through FYE (I think?), and got a signed poster with the album art on it!

I quite like SC. It was different enough from the previous albums that it felt fresh to me, and I like pretty much all of the songs on it, although I've grown a bit tired of "Constant Motion" and "Forsaken".

The special edition cover of SC is in my opinion DT's best cover. And it's a really cool album.

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

It has its moments of good but when you hold it up against CDs like Images and Words, Awake, Six Degrees, it's not going to fair well.

SC fairs perfectly well against WDADU, and anything else from the RR era.

Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

Pretty much. When it came out I wasn't a big fan, but ADTOE is the only album from the RR era that I consider to be very good.
