Many fans, including myself, would have assumed that the release of 1999's 'Metropolis Part 2: Scenes From A Memory' would be Dream Theater's crowning moment. After all, it was a monumental piece of work, and just how could the band top that? The answer lies in their new double album. 'Metropolis?.' was a real grower for me, and it took some time before I was able to really enjoy it. 'Six Degrees Of Turbulence' is almost the opposite. The album does take time to digest, but the songs themselves seem to bristle with life, and beg repeat listens. Read more ›› |

I love this album. 'The Glass Prison' is an amazing powerhouse and has yet to get old. 'Blind Faith' is beautiful - many goosebumps per listen. 'Misunderstood' seems experimental but it is very playful and heavy at the same time. 'The Great Debate' is, for me, one of the greatest songs ever written. Period. Go ahead, just listen to it. Even the last track, 'Disappear', I would argue, is a small masterpiece - packed full of little, subtle, sweet details of artsy musical genius. The 2nd disc will go down in history for having the longest, yet still tasteful song (as the entire disc is considered to be one song). Overall, an amazing double-disc album.

I probably should check out this album someday. I think it's the only one I haven't along with the debut.

Revisiting this comment to wipe it clean and say this instead: Definitely their best work, in my humble opinion. I do believe this is their pinnacle. You basically get 2 albums, each one feels like a full experience in itself. There's a lot of variety and experimentation present, each side has a different feel to it, yet as it all adds up it makes perfect sense and nothing feels out of place. This thing just vibes, some relatable lyrical content in the pt.2 in my case. What can I say, this record is absolutely marvelous and unique.

Yeah, it's definitely one of their greatest albums. Their most ambitious and experimental release. Nothing they've done since has come close to this.

I said Metropolis II was their best one... I was wrong... THIS ONE IS WAY BETTER!!! Just listening The Glass Prison did blow my mind  And obviously the homonymous track is a POWERHOUSE OF ABSOLUTE QUALITY!

This is probably their last "classic" record. Things started to go down hill after this one.

Just because of "Goodnight Kiss" and a few other worthy songs, I'm not going to say that it's a great album. Sorry, it's not.

A very solid record and a pretty good follow up to Metropolis, although some songs fall flat. I do love the title track, as well as The Glass Prison and The Great Debate. I like both Blind Faith and the oddly experimental Misunderstood, which has one of the weirdest ending to a DT song. However, I cannot stand Disappear. I absolutely despise it and I do not know why. It's just so bad that it lowers my ranking of the album all by itself. Overall, this is still a very good release, solid 8.5 leaning towards a 9.
