Advantages: Mainstream whilst keeping their progressive sound Disadvantages: Some duff tracks
This is Dream Theater's 4th full length studio album, released in 1997. Dream Theater decided to go mainstream with this album, but this album is still very progressive and is a good one to go for if you're new to Dream Theater.
The album kicks off with the psychadelic keyboard intro of New Millenium. This is a good song - Fairly upbeat, not very heavy. Takes a few listens to appreciate it more, but a nice start to the album.
Don't get put off ... ...least favourite Dream Theater track. It's mainstream grunge rock and is not what Dream Theater are like.
Peruvian Skies is actually my favourite on the album. It starts off in clean, drums kick in after a bit, then after the second chorus, there's a big build up into an incredible solo then the intro riff, once played in clean, now in full distortion, very Metallica-esque. This is a brilliant song. Not typical Dream Theater, but still awesome.

Advantages: Some great tracks. Has Trial of Tears on it. Disadvantages: Some radio friendly, not so good songs.
This album has always had a hard time from critics and fans alike. It's an attempt at radio friendly songs 'apparently', and even the band themselves say this. Personally I like this album, it took a couple of listens to get into it, and it has a couple of poor songs, but some really shine through.
The poorer songs on the album are:
'You Not Me'; it's not too bad, but it lacks heaviness for my tastes, very radio friendly and commercial! 'Hollow ... ...a tad generic. It picks up a little bit at the end. 'Take Away my Pain'; similar comments to above, I like the solo and centre part of it, but the rest drags on a lot, and seems a bit long.
The above songs are very lightweight compared to a lot of DT stuff, having said that it's not like they ruin the album or anything like that, in fact it does all fit together nicely, but don't judge the album on the above songs.
Now the other songs:
'New Millennium'; ...
