Unpopular opinion : Best Dream Theater album.
The album depth is huge, the main topic being "how can you be original, knowing that we all work with the same matter ?". Dream Theater here explores various styles, and the structure itself is made as an octave interval.
The "Octavarium" track was a revelation for me, especially the divinly wizzardy keyboard solo of Jordan Rudess (the goat). Yeah I'm a keybooardist, how could you tell ?
Well, it is both a sensorial experience and intellectually reflexion leading me on new perspectives !

범작보다도 더 많은 명작을 가진 Dream Theater지만 이들의 앨범들 중에서도 최고 명반을 뽑으라면 아마 Images And Words, Metropolis Pt. 2, 그리고 본작이 뽑힐 것이다. Images And Words야 90년대 프로그래시브 메탈의 효시로 여겨지면서, 현재까지도 많은 사람이 가장 선호하는 작품으로 알려져 있다. Met... Read More
