I haven't heard the whole album, just the single.

I prefer scenes over six degrees.  There are some excellent tracks on
six degrees, but overall, i prefer scenes.

I agree completely.  At first, i didn't like dream theatre because of
the vocals, and even told my friend (a big DT fan) that they would
benevfit from finding a new vocalist.  But LaBrie has grown on me some
(perhaps a bit like athlete's foot), I think it's mostly that the music
behind him is so good that i could put up with the vocals.

They just kick ass.  That's all that matters.
