TRAIN OF THOUGHT

Though many people on this site tend to prefer Dream Theater's more prog-ish side (who can blame them? the site is called progarchives afte all). i feel that to many people new to Dream Theater, this is an excellent place to start, as it tends to have a more commercial flavour and does not alienate the listener. while this album does have a very 'metallica- esque' feel to it, it does still retain the want of epics and sound that Dream Theater has become known for.while tracks such as "As I Am" and "Endless Sacrifice" would apeal to a less progressive rock audience, tracks such as "Stream Of Consciousness " and "In The Name of God" will please the proger.
