SIX DEGREES OF INNER TURBULENCE

Whoo! I love me some Dream Theater, especially some "Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence"! This album is insane, perhaps the most ambitious of all the DT albums. The gang here produce a most excellent array of music, ranging from heavy guitars a la Metallica to epic passages a la Genesis. It is the perfect combination of prog and metal. Very beautiful. I have been a big fan of DT since discovering them, accidentally as a matter of fact. I thought they were a metal band more than anything (Train of Thought was the first album I heard haha) and I have to admit, it was far more complex than any other bands around. I liked it and still do, a lot. From there on, I have been completely hooked to DT and enjoy all of their albums with the exception of two, which I don't have (When Day and Dream Unite and Falling Into Infinity). Extraordinary effort from the five mighty gents in SDOIT. I really love this album, but I find it an album I listen to sparingly, fearing if I were to listen to it more, I might lose some love. But nonetheless, it is always a special treat when listening to it. I would recommend the actual song "Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence" for classic prog fans, and then work your way up from there. If DT is not your cup of tea, try and try again, they are excellent. :)
