You seem to have nailed just the oposite to my opinions about this bands and songs. I do love Dream Theater, but this particular song is rather forgettable for me. And even though there are many songs indeed that I love from DT, they just have not been able to do such a whole masterpiece album such as Pink Floyd have done at least 4 times (to my taste, at lest), plus most of their other albums are really good and they have very few songs that I would say I really dislike (which is not something I could say from DT). Of course, if DT kept their album shorter, leaving out the sub-par songs, they could just as well almost have a full discography of masterpieces, but then again, how to choose the best songs. Someone's favourite songs may just as well be another's forgettable ones.
