Just woke up recently. Been through it once. Need more listens to fully form on opinion.
I really like the opening track and Dead Asleep. Those caught my ear off the first spin. And the epic

It’s a bit early here. Will let you know later today

mobydick2010.bsky.social•20 days ago

Look forward to your opinion Patrice.

patricep67.bsky.social•20 days ago

Only 1 listen, so very early but my initial opinion is it’s a very good album. Probably just outside my top 5 after Scenes, Images, Black Clouds, ADTOE, Octavarium

Fav songs after 1 listen, in no order:
Dead Asleep
Midnight Messiah
Bend The Clock
The Shadow Man Incident

Interestingly you've put a Mangini-era album ahead of the latest, while many hard core Portnoy/DT fans would rather forget that era, and if after 15 years Portnoy and team come up with an album which can't breach your Top 5 , would you consider this as just an avg good album ?

patricep67.bsky.social•20 days ago

Don’t overthink this. I said it was a very good album. Whether I have a Mangini-era album in my top 5 or not is irrelevant to how I view this album.

Never mind …put you on defensive curve 😛, it’s a AoTY 2025 (prog metal) contender as far as I’m concerned. La Brie and Portnoy were outstanding throughout 👌 with Petrucci shining brightly in bits and pieces 🎸🔥

I think it’s stellar! I feel like I’ve heard the three singles so many times that I found myself gravitating to Dead Asleep, Bend The Clock and The Shadow Mam Incident. I really like all three. Love the darker theme throughout. I think LaBrie sounds great. Great to have MP back!

Just woke up, about to put it on now. Picking up the vinyl tonight
