5 stars i've neve heard of ANY band having a 2-c.d. album, but only 6 songs in it. This album is probably second only to scenes from a memory.

The album starts off with an amzing heavy metal song "glass prison" this song was one of the first dream theater songs i ever heard, and it remains one of my favorite. The 14-minute song is divided into 3 parts, all having amazing music from all intruments. The second track, blind faith, is a great song. it starts out pretty slow, but it gets faster and harder. The vocals in the chorus are amazing. The solo in the middle is great, like most of petrucci's. After that, the song changes to a a bit heavier music, with a great piano part in it. all in all, the song is pretty good

Misunderstood, the third "degree" is awesome. it starts off slow, but with great lyrics that keep you listening until the good part. The lyrics are awesome, especially where he's like "from a god to god save me" If you listen to nothing else on this song listen to that. THen about halfway through it turns to a darker, heavier type. Its amazing, ok.

track four of cd one is the great debate. It starts off with some people talking about stuff like stem cell research. Then it goes into an awesome fast guitar riff, with some really wierd vocals. I think that however heavy this song is, it did get sort of boring.

the last song of the first cd is disappear. its slower and softer than all the other songs, so i got sort of bored of it, but it is pretty good, good music on all parts

the second cd is all one 42 minute song. but it is split up into different parts. The first part is an overture, played by an orchestra. the second part, about to crash, is pretty good, not really hard at all. but great nonetheless. War inside my head is much heavier, and is one of the best parts of the song. In the test that stumped them all, its got some great lyrics, including singing, and like, an... argument between doctors or something. that was what i like the best about the test. Then it takes a huge transition to a sweet song, with an awesome solo at the end. THe next part, solitary shell, is the part i think of when i think of this song. Its about a person wit some sort of mental illness. Its got some pop influences, and also has a great solo at the end of it. This part, for some reason, is my favorite part of the song. The next section of the song, about to crash(reprise) is a revisit to about to crash, but a little faster and with an awesome guitar riff in it. i personally like this one better than the first one. the last part, the grand finale is great. My absolute favorite part of the song is the very last words sung. Inspiring...well ok. thats it

so... This album is one of DT's best, and its amazing
