It feels weird voting for DT. But nevertheless, this is what I shall be doing.

Sad, Lateralus is a thousand times better to my ears, also has possibly the most positive message ever that you can receive from a song.

Sure Dream Theater has been my favoriteband for a LONG time. But right now Lateralus is...just...magic in my ears.
