5 stars what could I say about this album....I really love it. but I am a common mortal, so I can't explain all the sensations that it gives to me, every time I hear it (again and again). Someone could say: this is not a DT album, because their sound has changed so much, that It's really hard to understand who's playing! sure, I agree! but this is not the only one: every Dt album is so different from the others, that you could really think they are eight different band! octavarium really hit me, so I will do a track to track review (with votes from 1 to ten for each song): - the root of all evil 8: the most similar to train of thought..hard and complex -the answer lies within 8: great ballad, in the mood of beatles. great vocal interpretation -these walls 9: one of the most brilliant of all DT career -I walk beside you 6: the secon part of Speak to me is not good as the first. the weakest track of the album -panik attack 10: simply 20th century schizoid song -never enough 10: the song that muse never wrote..and never will! -sacrificed sons 10: amazing...and really thrillig, lyrically and musically -octavarium 10: simply the best song Dt ever wrote....long way better than A change of season...30 years of music in 25 minutes!

so....what could I say.......Five marks....and they are few!!!
