I think its such a shame that this album wasn't better received. Like it or lump it, there is no denying the sheer scale and originality of this project. Sure the plot has some issues, but I don't care, I'm in it for the music. In my view, they pulled it off spectacularly as only DT could. Unfortunately, the lack of commercial success will discourage them (and perhaps other bands) from really stepping out of their comfort zone again.
Also a huge shame we didn't get a DVD. In a weird way I almost feel like DT owes it to the fans who didn't get to see this live, although I know that's a bit silly. I also wonder if James' deteriorating live performances are another reason we didn't get it, and may not get any more in the future.
