METROPOLIS PART 2 - SCENES FROM A MEMORY

This album is a lot like Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" in the sense that the more you listen to it, the more details you can extract from the album. Every minute is made from perfection, and this is my second favorite album of all time. Firstly, Dream Theater (especially at this time) had an insane lineup of some of the best musicians l. Being a pianist who has attempted to play "The Dance of Eternity" myself, I can tell you firsthand that these are some amazing musicians who have probably been playing music their entire lives (especially Jordan Rhudess). If I'm being real here for a second, I believe Dream Theater has the greatest lineup of musicians of any band ever. And that's just the start of the masterpiece. Conceptually, they have seemingly blown my mind even more. The concept follows a theme about a guy named Nicolas, who sees a past-life regression therapist after seeing visions from a previous life. Through these visions, Nicolas begins to reveal life through the eyes of Victoria, and he believes that something was wrong about her death (for one she was murdered). He thinks that her death didn't go down as it was recorded. So, he goes through the album to find the reason he keeps seeing these visions. I don't want to spoil anything, but if you want to know the real mind blowing themes they hid in this album, you can look it up somewhere else probably.
