Systematic Chaos has problems of its own, but I think that the songs work better than Black Clouds.
For example, Constant Motion is not any good, but it's uniformly not any good. And that's because it's a 7 minute song, instead of a 12 minute 2-for-1 song. If Constant Motion were on Black Clouds, they would have thrown Forsaken in there as a "breakdown" in the middle of the song.
That's not to say that I don't like songs with different themes / movements / ideas in them, but I am saying that Black Clouds feels mishmashed and really glued together. Where A Change of Seasons works as one song, A Nightmare to Remember exists in fragments played one after another.
