5 stars Dream Theater is one of those bands that anything they do they do great and Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence is no exception. A great concept when you put together the whole deal explaining different types of problems. This album consists of a two disc where the first one explores a very diversity of progressive styles with other styles and the second one consists of a 42:02 minutes of length masterpiece.

Disc1:

The album immediately kicks of with The Glass Prison a pure prog trash metal song narrating how Mike Portnoy got to deal with the problem. This song is truly amazing and it really shows what DT can do. The song is fast, it's heavy and it's good.

Blind Faith on the other hand starts of softly but immediately gets all pumped up in the solo. Great, but not very impressive.

In Misunderstood you can find many mood changes in the song and the solo and the ending it's very King Crimson like. Good song but there's not much point in listening the ending so you just might change the song to the next..

Now The Great Debate it's totally amazing. The song it's completely a DT hit and I must say this my favorite song in SDOIT. It's good and very impressive. The musician effort goes way beyond normal in DT with this song.

Disappear must be the most emotional song after Space Dye Vest on Awake. This song relates the experience of losing someone you love. In terms of hard working music it's not but you don't really care in the end cause it's really well done.

Disc 2:

The longest song ever recorded in DT history. Though the song it's long it's divided in 8 parts: Overture, About to crash, War Inside my Head, The Test that stumped them all, Goodnight Kiss, Solitary Shell, About to Crash (reprise) and Grand Finale/ Losing Time. The song in all tries to explain all the different kinds of mental problems of the human all in one song. The song in overall it's great.

The album overall is a truthfully masterpiece in the DT archives! Highly recommended to all you prog metal fans.
