I'm playing it now so I thought I'd respond to this. Since its release, I always considered it their worst album yet. Even the follow-up,
So Divided, was better though not by that much. I just think there are too many cringe-worthy moments on
Worlds Apart. I think mainly it's the vocals on about half the tracks. And overall it just feels weak, there are really only 2 songs I can say I like on this album. The rest are mediocre, decent at best. I've tried to like it since 2005 and it just doesn't improve. It seems many people's issue with the album is overindulgence or prog tendencies, and for me it's nothing to do with that. I like prog. I don't particularly like overindulgence, but it doesn't feel that way to me. It's just weak and doesn't pack a punch, and some parts just downright suck.
Thankfully
The Century of Self was really good.
