But the points about SFaM, SDoIT, ToF et all don't ring true at all - I loved all of those on the first listen, as I did with every one of the previous albums. ADTOE is just very hard going as its not at all fluid and many parts of it just seem contrived to be there as 'fill-ins'.

This is a total cop out - you ALWAYS have your roots - you just build, grow and improve on them. So instead of 'going back to their roots', it should read - 'slipping backwards and sounding old'.

Every time I listen to it (about 10 times now) I like it even more and hear and appreciate just how great it really is. This, to me anyway, is the key to longevity. This is complex and melodic progressive metal and each member is at the top of his game. Don't give up so fast. Keep spinning it and I'm pretty sure it will grow on you too. *I've done all I can*

In prog music you have to hear the CD SEVERAL times to really appreciate every aspect.... same here.... Mangini's drumming is different, but should be this way... there is no point in having a World Class Drummer trying to emulate another drummer. But he is a genius and fits perfectly fine. Looking forward to seeing them live!
