Latest album to date from Dream Theater, the second part of the "Metropolis"
but don't start looking for the first part in an album title, this is
the sequel to a track on "Images and words" and this is like one single
song in about 74 minutes + intro/outro, but luckily it's divided into
9 parts & 12 tracks.
It's got some lyrical references to "part one" but that's like the only
thing they got in common.
So this is of course progressive metal, played by some of the most talented
musicians ever walked this earth, Dream Theater. Once again they've managed
to create something really ground-breaking, some of the best riffs,
solos & lyrics anyone can come up with. Perhaps even better than
"Images and words"? I dunno I can't compare them it'd only be unfair.
But one thing is for sure: if you don't own this within a week since
you've read this review you should go hide in a corner for the rest of
your life.
