What you said there was very hipsterish. So you have to know the history of a car to drive it? To truly judge an album you have to listen to it through, I'm not going to judge an album on one song. So my worst would have to be Falling Into Infinity by Dream Theater. I gave it lots of chances but it just pales in comparison to the albums prior.

While there are some fairly bad songs on there like You Not Me, Burning My Soul and an awkward version of Take Away My Pain I still thought it was a pretty solid album. Peruvian Skies, Hells Kitchen and Trial Of Tears more than make up for the bad stuff. If you swapped out Burning My Soul, You Not Me and put in Raise The Knife from the Demo's and also swapped TAMP for the demo version to I think it'd rank as a much strong album. I suppose the history of the album and issues they had around that time doesn't help the image of it.

I also believe I don't have enough time to listen too new albums so more often than not I will just listen two or three songs in and if it has not gripped me I will stop listening. There are not that many bad songs on the album trial of tears and Peruvian skies are top ten DT songs for me. The album would have benefited great with those changed I would have also liked speak to me on the album that would have made it great. While writing this I have just realised what a huge mistake I've made I have forgotten about when Dream And Day Unite since Dream Theater are my favourite band I made an exception with my album rule; I've listen to it through a couple of times and it truly is awful it's not the song writing, it's just the terrible production and Charlie's horrible vocals. I think they should just record it with James he sings them fantastically Afterlife live at Budokan is a perfect example and I know there is Dream and day reunite but I think a proper studio recording would finally do the songs justice.

You are right though, Dream And Day does suffer because of a few factors, songs like The Killing Hand on the Live At The Marquee show how good it could have been.

I couldn't agree more. I like both artists individually, but that album was just so half-assed. I have to add that Eminem's "Recovery" is pretty bloody awful, with the exception of So Bad, Seduction and Space Bound, the latter slowly becoming more disliked every time I hear it. I've followed Eminem since he released "Infinite" and I've witnessed his work evolve in many ways. "Encore" was a bit of a surprise but after maybe 2-3 listens, it really held its own. Then came "Relapse" which, again, took a while to get used to. The flow of the whole album is very different to what anyone had heard before. He then added a few bonus songs with "Relapse: Refill" and, in all honesty, Music Box just blew me away. The beat, his lyrics, the pattern of his rapping, everything is well thought out. I looked forward to "Recovery" seeing as though it was originally planned to release alongside "Relapse" as a second disc. I thought it would be of a similar style or, at the least, have the same quality of work. Well, I was massively disappointed. Aside from the three songs I mentioned, which are mediocre at best, the album has no feeling whatsoever and it felt as if he had become bored and just wanted to get it done with. It's a shame, a real f*cking shame. He's either going to leave us with that piece of sh*t or he's going to make more of it. He once wrote the lyrics: "Listen to the sound of me spillin' my heart through this pen, motherf*ckers know that I'll never be Marshall again, full of controversy until I retire my jersey, 'til the fire inside dies and expires at thirty"That was in 2002 when he was 29. I feel it's somewhat sad that he actually knew that things after "The Eminem Show" would never be the same again. It's as if he has predicted his own downfall. As a die hard fan of his, it breaks my heart.
