You have to read multiple reviews before you make an assessment. I listened to it again last night, and there was a lot of good stuff on the CD, but some of the filler got annoying. On the other hand, I have a decent collection of prog music, music that has "officially" been dubbed prog, so long-winded songs and ambience don't bother me.
Hell, try sitting through Fantomas' Delirium Cordia. It's 1 song, 74 minutes long. More ambience then music probably, hehe.
