Here's the review.
- Intro
"the same location" means the same studio, the same city, or both?It would be useful to mention the exact chart position, since you wrote it was the band's second highest charting album.
- Background
Is it better to replaced "wholly integrated" with "included"?I don't think I understand the first sentence from the third paragraph. Can you copyedit it to make it clearer?
- Composition
Guitar World should be italicized, and omit Petrucci's name because he was introduced in the previous sectionI see only the lyrics from "The Enemy Inside" are explained, but from the other tracks aren't. Do we have material about them?
- Release
Have you got second week sales, or sales in other countries except US, or maybe worldwide sales?It's useful to include Metacritic ranking, to know the album's overall critical reception.Since the maximum limit for critic reviews is 10, you can expand the prose with additional reviews.PopMatters doesn't use star-rating system.About the supporting tour, do you know what songs were featured in the setlist?
- Charts
The charts should feature the name of the company that compiles the list. For example, Australia should be Australian Albums Chart, and so on.The personnel is done properly, no complaints on that part.
- References
Do not use big letters in the titles, as you did in refs 3, 15, 33, and few others.Are there other sources available apart from John Petrucci's Facebook profile? I see it is used several times, but social media is generally not recommended.
- I see the nominator has been sporadically active on Wikipedia lately, so I'll be archiving this.--Retrohead (talk) 10:49, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
- Made the easy edits. Will try and get the rest done over the next few days. Thanks!--Ktmartell (talk) 20:12, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
- I finished the revisions. A few notes from me:

- I really struggled with the album charts, especially the non-English ones, and to be honest am not 100% sure I got the right names in every instance. If it's cleaner, I'd be happy to just remove all non-US charts.
- Replaced as many Facebook references as I could, and I don't think there are too many left. I believe those sources are OK as long as they are from verified accounts?
- No Metacritic page for this album, strangely, but added another review and expanded prose a bit
