I was very excited when I read the reviews of this album. I did not like Train of
thought at all and was generally dissapointed with the heavier, more mainstream sound
Dream Theater was headed towards. So I was pleased to hear that their new album was
more mellow and now so heavy.I am sorry to say that the CD is boring... The last song, Octavarium, is pretty good and redeems the Album some. It holds on to the dream theater sound pretty well, but the rest of the CD is saddly borring. It's as if they now sound just like the many bands who were trying to immitate them may years ago. Saddly I can say with no doubt that Scenes from a Memory was the best Album they ever did (and ranks at the top of the list for all time best prog album in my opinion) and was the last truely memorable album they ever did. I cannot see how anyone who would give Scenes from a Memory 5 stars would give this 5 stars.
