Advantages: each track is long making this album worth your money Disadvantages: none what so ever
OK this album by Dream Theater is purely one of their best pieces of work yet if not the best. It consists of 8 completely groundbreaking tracks. Groundbreaking in terms of it's excellence that is. I personally cannot say one bad thing about a single track on the album. It is true music and truly inspirational. your very much getting your money worth with buying this album. each track is a masterpiece with the shortest track being 4 minutes 29 seconds ... ...staggering 24 minutes long (Octavarium).

Advantages: Classic Dream Theater, but with a new twist Disadvantages: More of a "poppy" style that Dream Theater's other work
...introduced on Train of Thought, Octavarium still manages to be a different album, with its own individual style.
The range of different song styles on this album is staggering, with the poppy U2esque style of I Walk Beside You, compared to teh PInk Floyd style of parts of the title track Octavarium. Possibly the only thing I would change about this album would be more focus on the progressive style of Dream Theater's earlier albums, such as Awake ...
