DREAM THEATER - SCORE: 20TH ANNIVERSARY WORLD TOUR LIVE WITH THE OCTAVARIUM ORCHESTRA

Easily the band's best live album, featuring songs expertly performed from across their career with few lulls in the intensity or set list. The orchestra, while gimmicky, is used to effectiveness for the songs they are included on, but the band itself clearly demonstrates here what they are best at: playing very powerful, dynamic rock music.

The extras are almost as good, with an extended documentary on the formation of the group as well as their experiences recording various albums. I especially enjoyed seeing the portrait-style promotion picture used in James LaBrie's audition (he looks more like David Lee Roth than David Lee Roth ever did).

Great for casual and serious fans.
