METROPOLIS PART 2 - SCENES FROM A MEMORY

E x c e l l e n t from all the different aspects!Metropolis part II:Scenes from a memory fairly stands first among all progmetal "rivals"...The mysterious murder of a girl, love affairs, after life, reincarnation, deja-vu 's are some of the issues that are under the microscope of this Dt 's MASTERPIECE. The plot of the story is outstanding with a grand finale even better than thousand screenplay's that followed 6th sense. A murder of a girl, a love affair of a woman with two brothers, a man having nightmares from his past life and here we go...Just amazing. The music is so well combined with the story like a soundtrack of a movie...With heavy, prog and emotional parts the music followes the life of every character giving to the listener an emotional touch for everyone involved in the story. Influences are ranged from Zappa, Genesis and Rush to Metallica,Meshuggah,Radiohead, Tool, Floyd and Al di Meola as the band comments in DVD version of the story. The DVD version is more recommended because the album is extended in some parts, the performance of thand ROCKS and RULES and the scenes directed by Mike, let you in the story and make clear even of the last question someone might have about the story. The scenes also make the album more poetic!5 and FULL stars of course to the most incredible concept album I ve ever heard and thankfully watched (along with "Misplace childhood', "The perfect element pt1", "A pleasant shade of grey" and "Operation:Mindcrime" being rated by 4.9 stars to me...). Well done DT...!!!!
