5 stars Still being my favorite album from DT and from all in the genere and more. For me it is the greatest musical creation, I really tried to find any LP from any other band around the world through years, and Iīve found great results but no one such as brilliant as Scenes from a memory.

I think all instruments are doing very original compositions, the mix and composition is incredible, every instrument has a significant participation; complex and full of emotive moments, since very strong, melodical, dynamic, euforic, until melancholic.

I personally feel the catharsis of its enviroment because the songs they has an intention and theyīre capable of getting moments and emotions, even more if you experiment any kind of feelings trough any music style and in general with arts.

The time of each song, any group of songs of the entire album , and all the album is one feature I consideer amazing, they get knock me completely out and I can feel satisfied enough, like no other band has made me feel this way.

Youīll find a discreet and pure touch of a diversity of rhytms trough the composition (charleston, even reggae, classical and more ) but itīs still an amazing progressive metal sound.

I still feel myself amazed every time I hear this album, trough years listening this album I discover great details.

What else can I say ? Simply majestic, magical... the general style is very progressive metal rock, itīs so memorable and easy to remind because itīs very original. Itīs logic that they have influences but itīs original like the very few are.

Not the foundators of the genere but I think itīs one of the master piece definitions of the genere this album. I wish more discs like this with such as quality bands. I dare myself to say so sure, they not invented it but they did it perfect.

Almost all people that knows the genere since a while, knows the album and like it. If you are going to know it for the very first time I hope you enjoy, I hope it wonīt desappoint you, only few persons do not like it.

But I wanna say to those who still donīt know it: Itīs highly recommended if you like progressive metal even if you like only progressive pure style (not metal) maybe youīll like it a lot either and find it interesting. Itīs simply the best album I can recommend, in the world... and the best master piece Iīve ever heard...

I expect someone share opinions with me... Marco... Mexico city
