Octavarium coincidence

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

On Saturday, I bought my first two Dream Theater albums, Octavarium and SFAM (in that order). If you know the story behind Octavarium, you'll know of the connections with the numbers 5 and 8 scattered throughout the artwork and all. In another remarkable coincidence, Octavarium is my 35th album. 3 + 5 = 8!

I have a system of numbering and dating my albums (I write the number and date on one of the inlay pages, usually one with a white background), and if I buy 2 albums in the same shop at the same time, I go by the order they appear on the receipt. Octavarium appeared first on the reciept when I got back, thus making it No. 35. Weird!

I know it doesn't really mean anything. But then, does anything really mean anything?

Good opportunity, though, to ask your opinions on this marvellous album.
