Dream Theater's fourth album....
love the cover, very Pink Floyd IMO....
not surprising considering these guys are really Prog from what ive heard...
this album is not Prog, or even heavy Prog,
it borders on hard rock this time round...
very little in the way of orchestrations but there are several ballads/rock ballads on this one...
my favourite here is one of those ballads, a piano based ballad to be precise, far superior to
anything else on the album so, why wasn't it released as a single to attract the "mainstream"
music fan???
and incidently, the opening piano tune is very similar to Elton's "song for guy", im pretty sure
Elton would have inspected the similarities between the two.
I loved the recent release (the astonishing) which was my introduction to these guys, and loved
the other one I posted (images and words), this one isn't a patch on those but its is still okay...

I LIKE THIS ALBUM
