TRAIN OF THOUGHT

A change in the sound here, becoming even more heavy and raw than the previous Dream Theater effort, "Six Degreees of Inner Turbulence". I feel that this one is hugely underrated, even among fans. There's lot's of great material here, less emotional, but still highly enjoyable, at least to my ears. "Stream of Consciousness" might be their best instrumental, or at least one of them, and the rest of the album is very even and not bad at all. Despite some usual DT clichès, this is a great album!

Technical, heavy, less emotional, but I love it anyway. One of my favorites with them actually. 4.5/5
