It's an okay album. I saw a couple people go overboard on Facebook about it, but I think some fans are just so thrilled to have "something" that expectations are dropped.
I agree with the Omaha review - I do find much of it boring and repetitive. Not saying that there aren't spots where it's good, but so much of it sounds generic and average, and TSO music didn't used to sound like that. The remake that they got the Halestorm singer for is a good song, imho, but it does not sound like TSO at all to me. I think the two stars out of four is about right.
