SYSTEMATIC CHAOS

Reading the other review put me a bit at ease. I find it comforting to hear that other people also have difficulty with a couple of the songs on the album.The first time I listened to the songs "constant motion" and "The Dark Eternal Night" made me wonder where DT was heading to. However after hearing the album for a couple of times, I appreciated it more and more. I have to admit I was a bit disappointed at first. But now I too think it is one of the best DT albums around, right after Octavarium. "In The Presence of Enemies" is truly a masterpiece, I only think it is a pity that they didn't put it on the album as one peace, however, listening to the album continuously makes the circle go round and blends the two songs nicely together. Both symphony X and DT have become a little bit "heavier" on their latest albums. Btw did you know that on the next tour symphony X is playing as a small show in front of Dream theater? I'm looking forward to that concert, seeing them both!

Definitely gonna buy the special edition (with the 5.1 mix dvd) once it comes out after consideration I'm still gonna give this album 5 stars
