The fact I had to bring the song up in Spotify to remind myself of how it went says a lot about how I feel about it - which is not much apparently.

Why did you have to bring it up on Spotify?  You don't have the album?  ???

I can’t speak for him but I use Spotify for all of my daily listening. Rather I own the album or not.

I have the album, but I wouldn't dig it out to listen to one song.  I would take out my phone and pull up the song on Spotify.

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

I have the album on my phone. :justjen  As for streaming, YouTube music is the way to go.  :tup

Not bad. nice instrumental section until Bebot. The snare sounds flappy. Don't like the entrance into the final chorus.

Black Clouds is a criminally underrated album, BUT even I have to admit, if there is one song that hints at Portnoy-era DT showing signs of creative fatigue, it would be Right of Passage. Everything about the song is just “meh”- it’s listenable, the riffs are okay, the chorus isn’t bad, but the song just screams “auto-pilot” to me.

I think AROP suffers from a slower tempo on the studio version. The live versions definitely packs more punch being a little faster. I don't like JLB singing the harmonized melody instead of the lead melody on this particular performance, but damn does he sound so good here compared to most later tours.

I feel quite the opposite.  ARoP is my favorite song on BCaSL, and other than Wither, I don't really listen to the rest of the album very often.
