Black Clouds & Silver Linings

[The Last Rebel]

I know when Black Clouds first came out I didn't like it, I said some pretty harsh stuff about it. However, it's grown on me a ton over the past few weeks. The Best Of Times especially, the first time I heard that I hated it. Now, after hearing it a few times it's my favorite song on the whole album. It's beautifully emotional and Petrucci's 3 minute outro solo is incredible. Hell, I think it may have unseated Crack the Skye as my favorite metal album of the year. It's funny, because this is the second or third album from 09 that's grown on me since I first heard it.

Has anyone else had the same thing happen with Black Clouds?
