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. |

I posted my review of Foxtrot on Sept. 8th (9/8 in US), it was my 98th symphonic review, and it was the 666th rating of the album here. Do you know what this all means?!

9/8 means that it is mentioning Apocalypse in 9/8 while 666 is part of the lyrics in Apocalypse:
"666 is no longer alone, He's getting out the marrow in your back bone, And the seven trumpets blowing sweet rock and roll, Gonna blow right down inside your soul." ------------- http://www.formspring.me/Aragorn224" rel="nofollow - Trendsetter win! The search for nonexistent perfection. |

"Hello Victoria, so glad to see you, my friend"  How does it feel to be represented on a DT album? |

The strange thing is that if you rotate 8 by 90 ( =3 x 5 x 3 x 2) degrees, you get infinity (∞).

| Dream Theater, a prog metal band. The signature 'Victoria watches...' comes from Home, and 'Hello Victoria...' comes from Regression, both from the Scenes from a Memory album. |

I just noticed that if you look at Leonardo's The Last Supper very closely, you can see a detail from the cover of Metropolis Part 2 right between Bartholomew's legs!
