"Surrounded"

   This is one Dream Theater song I'm lukewarm about.  I find it to be incredibly cheesey for the first half, but the middle to end (about 2 and a half minutes), there's some excellent music to be heard.

	definetly a nice song, but not among dream theaters best tracks (my favourites would be a change of seasons, learning to live, metropolis pt.1, the whole scenes from a memory album and six degrees of inner turbulence).

	I'm pretty new to Dream Theater; but, one of the songs that has really sucked me in is "Surrounded" from Images And Words. The song packs so much emotion in 5 1/2 minutes. More importantly, however, is LaBrie's vocal performance. I know it's not their most epic song; but, really adds a nice flavor to Images And Words (which I love). What are your thoughts regarding "Surrounded"? E
