SIX DEGREES OF INNER TURBULENCE

Ah, Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence.. what could I say? Well, lets start with the fact that this is without a doubt one of Dream Theater's finest works, even though it is (for some reason I can't understand) very underrated. The album kicks off with the mindblowing masterpiece, a 13 minute long song called 'The Glass Prison'. This song is one of my favorite DT tracks. Actually it is bit of a shame that the album starts with a song of this quality, because after this, you will only get dissapointed ;) But still there is nothing to worry about, beacause the remaining tracks on CD1 are also excellent. The following song, Blind Faith, is also an epic, massive song, that I find very good also. Then there is Misunderstood and The Great Debate, both absolutely fantastic musically and lyrically. The first CD ends with a very emotional track called Disappear. This is (for me) the best track on CD1, after The Glass Prison, of course. And BTW, if you like this song also, you should see (and hear) the Live at Budokan - version of it. It still gives me chills.

Ok, let's move to CD2. The second CD is actually one 42- minute long masterpiece cut to eight different pieces. It's very melodic, and contains very dramatic, emotional and simply mindblowing stuff. It begins very dramatic, like an opera or something like that, and then flawlessly moves into another sections that change from beautiful and emotional parts to heavy progressive metal. To sum up, SDOIT's both CD's are excellent, almost perfect stuff. If I would have to name my favorite, I would turn to CD2, because it's simply so epic and a stunning musical experience. But CD1 is absolutely amazing also. I'd suggest that you who don't own this album yet, should just go to a store and buy this. In case you like good music, of course :)
