I'm slowly get acquainted with the album, but damn, as I was saying previously.... there's stuff like which I'm supposed to love instead. I can confirm that Trascending Time is my favorte song, and while discussing DT12 in a heartbeat I named The Bigger Picture the best song on the album, so maybe that's the kind of stuff I like now from DT, but I don't certainly blame them if my tastes have changed.
Maybe it has already been said but I think a slower piece would have helped with the diversity of the album. Yeah, it's not monothematic, there's a mid tempo song, there's a big epic, there's a happy tune (Trascending Time) but right now I would be at loss, if I should hear a random 30 second instrumental passage, if it's from Answering the Call, Sleeping Giant or Awaken the Master. If not a slower piece, a completely different kind of song would have helped the album diversity.
