Dream Theater - Black Clouds and Silver Linings
Oh my, what a letdown. Not that it's awful, but it's not as inspired as some of their other releases. I've always hated Mike Portnoy's retarded rapping bits, and how low do you have to get to have one song consist entirely of other parts of the AA Suite? And the lyrics aren't great either, nothing on the level of "Blind Faith" or "Learning to Live".
@BTown: I thought Black Gives Way to Blue was alright. It suffered horribly from the loudness war, and William DuVall is no Layne Staley, but it's not bad.
