Comparing a bands current albums to previous albums is ridiculous, I wish people would judge a bands output
on it’s own.
I think BSaSL is another great album from a great band.
It’s a lot better than half the crap the kids are buying….excuse me…pirating these days.
Like the past 89570759905 DT albums, it takes time to grow on you, but now that I have listened to it a few dozen times, I keep going back and finding something else to enjoy.
All you haters go spin your Lamb of God albums and take a seat.

Comparing BCaSL to SC is stupid. SC is their failed attempt at a full-metal album, and it became their worst output as a result, whereas BCaSL succeeds at being a balanced output of all of their trademark sounds.

Well, no one asked for it, and no one really cares for it, but I’ll give my review/opinion of the new DT – BC&SL CD. – Meh..

I actually concur with Vince’s sentiment “The album’s not even that good as far as Dream Theater albums go.”
A lot seems to be a retread of previous work. While “A Rite of Passage” is currently my favorite track, if one listens to the “The Dark Eternal Night” from Systematic Chaos, you’ll hear a lot of the same (just reworked enough) Same goes for most of the album. “Wither” has a lot in common with “Forsaken”, and “The Shattered Fortress” obviously contains many previous AA themed songs. But, musically, they can perform quite well and I find myself listening to the instrumental versions of the songs (on the 3CD package) more than the main CD. JL’s voice is okay (albeit a little irritating), but the lyrics overall aren’t too compelling hence the ‘meh’ review.

Holy crap how has this conversation gone this long without some douchetard interjecting with something like “ALEXISONFIRE IS GAY AND YOU ARE GAY NON-METAL GAYGAY HUGLHJGHBBJ”

I am shocked and appalled, MetalSucks. Shocked. And. Appalled.

I actually dig the new Alexisonfire. Yes the first album was pretty raw and so was the second one to an extent, but I also dig the new sound of the last 2 albums. It’s much more refined.

Bands that don’t evolve are boring.

Dallas Green is an amazing singer. I haven’t heard anything he’s done that I don’t like.

They’re one of my favorite non-metal bands.

“The album’s not even that good as far as Dream Theater albums go,”

For every sensible thing you guys say, there’s always another downright incorrect/confusing comment, isn’t there?

Alexisonfire was standard… whatever it is you want to call them. I know some people like to twist their panties about “real” emo versus “fake” emo versus screamo versus blah blah blah blah, but I’ll go ahead and say Crisis was a good album because FINALLY a sing/scream, kinda-hardcore, kinda gay band had hooks a dude (albeit a not-so-manly dude) could appreciate.

I guess, all’s I know is it’s good to know sissy bands like this because there aren’t too many gals out there willing to throw down some goregrind with you.

In England, they say Theatre, just like in French, so maybe he just didn’t realize

Brokencyde have failed to see that when most of your fans are ignorant 12-year-old kids most of them are just going to pirate your album.

I’ve been past the whole Sammy Hagar thing a long time, but any time real rock musicians sell albums, that’s good. And good for DT, as well. The rest of the top of the list is pretty sparse, though.

The new album by Dream Theater is their best one since Scenes From A Memory and their success is much deserved. They’ve earned it due to consistency and talent. Congratulations.
