Well that's the thing. Everyone hypes their new album at least a little bit, but it's one thing to say "this is our best album" and another to say that you're the kings of prog metal and some of the other stuff they've been saying. An album like that shouldn't even have a track like Coming Home on it. If Signs of the Time was the worst thing on the album and everything else was mind-blowing, OK. But as it stands now, even if everything else really is mind blowing, Coming Home is going to feel out of place and bring the album down a bit.
This could be a great album with a weak track or two, but even that's going to feel like a disappointment compared to the bar they have been trying to set. If you say what they've been saying, then you better come out with something that truly blows people away. Like Haken, or Fates Warning's last album, etc. Not that it should sound like either of those things, but it should have that kind of impact. Not make people feel like it's a decent metal album with great playing but nothing really special.
