METROPOLIS PART 2 - SCENES FROM A MEMORY

This truly is progressive and possibly one of the best prog albums I've ever heard. Dream Theaters 5th studio album and a truly brilliant concept. The story focuses on regression therapy and seem to be loosely based on the film "Dead Again". The music is incredible and just flows beautifully. This album shows how good songwriters, lyricist and musicians Dream Theater are by having songs that are so diverse, from heavier songs like "Beyond This Life" to the amazing ballad, "The Spirit Carries On". The vocals are incredible and really brings out James LaBrie as a singer. Keyboardist Jordan Rudess who's first album with the band this was, has really brought something new and different to the band yet they have kept they're magic, and this is the best album Dream Theater have done closely followed by Images and Words.
