METROPOLIS PART 2 - SCENES FROM A MEMORY

Behind Queensryche's "Operation: Mindcrime", this is second favorite album in the progressive genre. Ironically, it took me longer to start liking this album than any other Dream Theater release but when it finally hit me, all I can say is that this album is flawless. The melodies, the story, the production, and even the vocals of James LaBrie are all top-notch. I like emotional albums, and the music and lyrics from this album are full of emotions. Definitely an album that gives goosebumps. If you are new to Dream Theater, this is not the album to start with as I feel it takes a while to get accustomed to. Five stars for this one. DT's best work.
