You know, that song gets a lot of unfair comparisons to "21st Century Schizoid Man". Not that it's unfair to note the similarities between them, because they are cut from the same mold. The problem though is that people always rail on "Pictures of a City" as if it were a failed recreation, when I have always considered it to be a great improvement on the original formula. In fact, I'm going to go ahead and say that, in comparison to a lot of their other material (including the early period), the whole of In the Court... is pretty weak. Also, about live DEP, you're not missing anything, in my personal experience (which has outside verification), they just get worse and worse each tour.

Misereatur:
I think Pictures Of A City fits in In The Wake Of Poseidon just like 21st Century Schizoid Man fits into In The Court.. They're both great songs, and they both have pretty much the same role in the album they're in. But we need to look at the album itself, and not just start to pick every song by itself (although, every song in both of these albums, other then Peace - A Theme and Peace - An End, can stand alone).
About DEP, I heard a lot about their kick-ass live shows. This is the first time I hear somthing bad about it.

Do I count as outside verification here?
I've seen them atleast half a dozen times at this point, and it really has just been a downhill run. They still put on more of a show than most bands, and if you like their music and haven't seen them live, it's probably still worth seeing atleast once. But it's just not the show it used to be. Even with the new singer blowing fire or whatever, it seems like the band has just lost some steam. This would be fine if it meant a better musical performance, but I've actually been appalled to see their live performances decrease in technical quality. It's really kind of frustrating to see that happen to a band.

Well maybe I just caught some bad shows or something. The first time I saw them, I thought it was great, but not any time afterwards. I might be biased though, because I like DEP less than I used to overall. Their attempts to be Nine Inch Nails on Miss Machine really got on my nerves.
