Full review
I own this album.
So it seems with Dream Theater is that they change their style with each album they come out with, this album is very varied, the tracks don't really stay consistent throughout, although they all have that Dream Theater classic emotion behind them, enough to make even a robot cry.
Especially 'Space - Dye Vest' which is surely the best track on the album.
I wouldn't say this is the best album from DT, I prefer the Images & Words album.
This album brings the listener a much more darker & heavier sound than what you'd expect from Images & Words, which would leave some shocked, especially 'Another Day.'
The lyrics seem to be centred around loss, anger and dispair, also packed with emotion.
Great value for money with this album, you won't be dissapointed with it, as always Dream Theater stay like Pink Floyd in the sense of their originality.
This album is consistent to be amazing, just like every other Dream Theater album, and just like always Dream Theaters concept album art always never stops amazing.
So buy it! you won't be dissapointed, even if it's for Space - Dye Vest, even that's worth it on it's own.
