I don't think anyone would disagree.
I think I'm going to be wronger than 'Jack McWrong, Wrong Championships all
time Champion of Champions'  here but I have a niggling suspicion - and when
I say niggling I mean nothing more than one of those irritating midgies of
thought that zip past your ear every so often - that it's more akin with
classical structuring?
It started on Pandemonium with some of the breaks being overly long - the
break Communion being case in point - & I almost expect something to happen
in them but nothing does.
All songs have a natural length & flow - you can feel when you need to
insert a change or when a break is needed or something should should end -
all of which seems to be ignored here.
Lightbringer (my fave BTW) is very long, but it works because the groove
carries it.

Maybe they were just having so much fun Jaz kept forgetting to start
singing? (sorry, shouting)
