Black Clouds and Silver Linings

Dream Theater's 10th studio album. Released on June 22nd 2009.

BCSL is the best album since Scenes from a Memory. The 3 epics on the album are "A Nightmare to Remember", "The Best of Times", and "The Count of Tuscany". "The Shattered Fortress" sums up Mike Portnoy AA suite. "Wither" and "A Rite of Passage" are OK, and they probably the only songs you will ever hear on the radio from this album.
