Well, after finishing the album and taking a breather from it and doing other stuff, I feel that this was a strong album, of course. There are some gripes that people may legitimately have. Yes, there are really a few absolute stand-alone songs in this really long album and, yeah, I did wish for certain parts of the album to have some more heaviness to it (and I'm not one that always wants a balls to the walls sound in every album I hear). That stated, DT really committed hard on the concept of what they want to show and, when people do things like that, the consensus will be polarizing indeed. I like it very much on first listen. I just hope the album ages really well and when I listen to it again in whole, which probably will be a long time from now, maybe the overall experience will be much better than before (which was fine already on first listen though).
