Reviews

  • I love this album. It is the reason that Dream Theater has been my favorite band for 9 years now. While the biggest hit off of the album (Pull Me Under) is my least favorite song, every song on the album is both intricate and beatifully written. These five guys really display their talent on this release and lyrically some of the songs are downright amazing. Best songs on the album in my opinion are Take the Time, and Metropolis part I. A fantastic album and is second only to "Metropolis part 2: Scenes From a Memory".

  • I'm admittedly not a huge fan of prog rock, but these guys can sure as hell play. "Metropolis Part I" is just sick and a great mind-bending listen.
