Bought and played last night - Very good for a first/second listening. Question - Why is it metropolis Pt 2 what is part One? if there is one! So what is the next CD in their discography that is like the first 10/15 minutes (Fantastic metal/prog). This forum has served me well so far - Thanks to all who recommended Metropolis - It's broadened my mind to the viability of prog/metal so whats next? ------------- Play me my song, here it comes again |

you can find part I in Images and Words, coming as the prelude (right?). and this album is the best album of DT to me! Metropolis sure is great. my best track is Through Her Eyes  ------------- http://s4.invisionfree.com/thean - Click here to enter my forum in Vietnamese "In this world of a million religions everyone prays the same way" - Nightwish - The Kinslayer |

the next one is Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence. Check it out, it's got a 40+ min suite on it. ------------- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhuxaD8NzaY" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhuxaD8NzaY |

yup. in my opinion this one is the best concept album of dream theater. this is a must have. i believe it's even better than metropolis, though many people may not agree. ------------- http://s4.invisionfree.com/thean - Click here to enter my forum in Vietnamese "In this world of a million religions everyone prays the same way" - Nightwish - The Kinslayer |

And if you like Dream Theater,Swinton you should definitely check out Nightwish. I think they make DT sound downright lethargic these days,I think they are without a doubt the best symphonic/prog/metal band in the world at the moment and yet they are not in the Prog Archives listings! ------------- Odi profanum vulgus et arceo. |

i agree. Dream Theater are one of the best bands out there and scenes from a memory is one of the most perfect studio albums i have ever heard. It just has everything. concept albumorama! ------------- The Worthless Recluse

Ihink you wont find nightwish, because nightiwish is what we call power metal. If anyone had a t least read my "the division line" post we would be having a pretty conversation about this ------------- And the meek shall inheret the earth - Niel Peart |

Nightwish are power metal yes, AND symphonic metal AND progressive metal. That's my point,they are all these things. ------------- Odi profanum vulgus et arceo. |

Dream Theater is THE band that spread the word about prog-metal but many good bands followed the same path : Angra (Andre Matos era) Evergrey (Tom Englund has a really unique voice) Ice Age (the voice is similar to Saga's Michael Sadler's and the music a cross between earlier Rush and Dream Theater) Enchant ('Wounded' is a metal-prog album) Fates Warning ('Perfect symmetry' and 'A pleasant shade of gray' are essential albums for anyone who wants to broaden his prog-metal collection) Pain of Salvation Also worth checking out : Watchtower : 'Control and resistance', a kind of technical thrash-metal with the very talented Ron Jarzombek on guitar.

| I second or third the proposal that Nightwish (best new band I heard for some time) should be in the Archives. |
