5 stars What can I say? I came in the path of Dream Theater through the music language. As you listen to Metropolis pt2: Scenes from a memory you get the feeling of a some kind of closing a circle.

The fact that the album is realy thought through and well writen both in the music structure and the text. From the impressive guitar solo and riffs, the rythm change and brakes to the harmony of the base and the keyboard. The band in itself had allways impressed me with their synchronized style and theyre way of shifting from rock to metal to jazz.

I dont think I have ever heard this kind of grupp before, sure you can here that Dream Theater have influenses from band such as Yes, Queensryche, Marillion and even Iron Maiden or Metallica. But the talent in each musician on this grupp does that it feels as if they are on a league of theyre on, kind of like what Michael Jordan was to the game of basketball just without the hype!

Scenes from a memory is a complete album you get evrything Dream Theater have to offer from strong and heavy riffs with the usual unbelievable fast solo, to the heartwarming, tearbraking ballads that creates a whole into the creation. The album is a consept album and has a story behind it. the text is writen like a theater scen or a movie, as i said it is a realy thought through album that in my opinion should be upp there, as a classical progressive metal album, with The Wall, Tommy and so on. Musicly it is even better, in my opinion, if you are looking for a chalenge. Finally, all I can say is that this album has it all and i recomand it warm to all of you musicfans out there.
