 Progressive Metal at some of it's finest
This album is a really solid effort from Prog. Rock masters "Dream Theater". It's probably their most tight and cohesive work to date, and it's definitely their most heavy. The first track is set up in a very traditional, non-progressive kind of way, which is uncharacteristic of the band. However, the song is nothing short of astonishing with solid instruments and an amazing chorus, with some great hooks. Everything from that point on is entirely progressive, and is what you've come to expect from these guys, but this time it's all heavier. Nothing to complain about on this album, but you might not listen to it a billion. However, with progressive music you tend to listen to it over spread out periods, and this one you'll keep popping back in even after other albums have lost their appeal. A great album.

 DT gets more modern, more heavy
This is, in my opinion, Dream Theater's strongest album start to finish. While there have been better DT songs than the ones on this album, this is the best COLLECTION of songs. Not one skipper in the bunch, at least for me. If you like Dream Theater's heavier songs, such as "Pull Me Under", "Caught In A Web", "Glass Prison", etc., you will probably like this disc very much as it is by far the harshest, heaviest sounding DT album yet. Almost every song contains at least one killer, metallic riff, and many of them have several great riffs. There are moments where you could swear you were hearing eighties-era Metallica or Megadeth. Fans of those bands that long for the days of Master Of Puppets and Rust In Peace would do well to pick this album up. Even James Labrie's voice, which I have always been somewhat split on, is angrier and more visceral than I have heard in the past. Oh, and if there are any fans like myself who think "Glass Prison" (from Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence) is the most arse-kicking song they've ever heard, there is a sequel on this album called "This Dying Soul". Now some fans have complained that Dream Theater is selling out with this album since it does contain parts that sound a bit like modern rock (a la Tool, Disturbed, etc.), but DT can do that kind of music and still add a very "prog" edge that those other bands (probably) are not capable of. I give this album 5 stars (I would give it 4 1/2 if I could, but it is closer to a 5 than a 4). If you like DT, get this!!

 A True Masterpiece
I had never heard of Dream Theater but when I got the cd I was blown away expecially when it comes to the drums and the bass.

 Hearing is Believing
I remember the first time that I heard Dream Theater's track, "Stream of Consciousness" from their CD, Train of Thought. The chord changes are innovative and the group is extremely tight in every aspect. Whether you're a guitarist, a vocalist, or a drummer, treat yourself to some great music that's on the wild but complex side. You'll definitely thank yourself!
