The Awake bass parts aren't that interesting. He has Scarred and that is really it as far as interesting bass lines go.
I can name at least one very interesting bass part in every single song on Awake (well, except Space-Dye Vest, obviously). I mean, you are entitled to your opinion, but I totally disagree with it.
Remember DT is not Primus the bass is not supposed to be the focal point of the song.
Holy allegations, Batman, where did that come from? Noone in this thread ever said that. Just because DT's music isn't really designed to let the bass be the main driving force doesn't mean that there shouldn't be any room for some interesting "out-breaks" from the meanwhile usual doubling when there clearly is an opportunity for it, even if it doesn't show at first sight. Take Opeth, for example. The bass does a lot of doubling, of course (as you correctly pointed out, to give the riffs more bite), but the bass player sometimes breaks out of it all and delivers something awesome despite the riffs being heavy as ever - take a look at the slap section in Blackwater Park or some parts of The Leper Affinity.
Case in point, Octavarium. The song gives him room and he writes something awesome. JR was in the band for that. How about the bass for These Walls during the verse. Pretty cool and holds that groove down real nice.
With this, I can agree. Also, SDOIT delivers many, many examples. But on SC and BCASL, you really have to look hard into the music to find some places where JM jumps out - the short run before "In peaceful sedation..." in ANTR, for example, or the bass groove in TBOT.
Also, I agree with PLM, TCOT has a lot of sections that left much unused room for cool bass lines.
