TRAIN OF THOUGHT

A perfect transition: OK, this is my first review, however, not by any means my first taste of prog, so bear with me. I don't understand why this album gets such a hard time. Though i agree it may not be the most prog cd available it's still not by any means a generic, straight-forward release. If you are new to the world of progressive metal and have just been an ordinairy metal-head to this point i believe this cd, along with a few other choice selections, is where your journey should begin. Like most good cd's of this sect, it supplies an plenty of virtuosity, a high degree of difficulty, creativity, influnces from nearly every genre of music, and most importantly (and what alot of people in the prog world seem to forget about), it just flat out rocks! One of the best all time releases of this type of music, and certainly the best attempt bt Dream Theater. Truly a masterpiece!
