4 stars In this one, Dream Theater has come back to their more classic sound. Songs like "these walls" (in this song I liked so much the "bass guitar" part, wow, you did ít again Mr. Myung. You're awesome) or "the answer lies within" show it us, a band that apply some new elements in their music, for exemple in "never enough" Dream Theater give us a tune in a pure source from the Brit-rock & progressive act "Muse", good play and at the same time sounds innovate inside of the band's style. My favorite moments on this record are; the opening titled "the root of all evil", the catchy "panic attack" (so cool song) and the final track "octavarium", what kind of masterpiece with a big Pink Floyd's influence.

Finally I have to say this not the grestest Dream Theater's album up to the date, but if it's a great work and other step in the journey of these Prog-Rock & Metal master.
