    Fan of DT since early 2000's. A week ago (2019) a began attending AA meetings; The Mirror, The Glass Prison, This Dying Soul, The Root Of All Evil, Repentance and The Shattered Fortress have taken a WHOLE new meaning to me - they became my companions through this battle against addiction. Just for 24 Hours!
    Thank you Mike and thank you DT so much!

    I do not know what happened to my comment I wrote here earlier. Here goes again. This was my first Dream Theater release. I bought this in 2002 upon release. I was extremely happy to find this band. A friend from the vcr/dvd video store blockbuster remember them recommended them. I had already been into progressive rock and progressive metal such as Queensryche, Fates Warning and Tool. Also prot progressive metal such as Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and such. Dream Theater raised the bar. They helped usher in a whole new era of prog. Finally progressive and metal were formally fused. I quickly bought their back catalog with Metropolis part 2, A Change of Seasons and this being my favorites. This combined cinematic with progressive with technical with metal in a way I only dreamed of before. Fates Warning A Pleasant Shade of Grey is a favorite of mine yet that cinematic side is missing. Also the symphonic side. James Labrie really shines on this and the previous release. Jordan Rudess was a fine addition making a big difference starting with Metropolis part 2. The lyrics on The Great Debate etc. made a lot of sense and still do. They dealt with very controversial science and moral issues still prevalent. For example, The Great Debate spoke of stem cells and cloning. This is just as serious an issue today. Cloning leads to all kinds of problems including genetic mutations. The vaccine for the Covid virus used a fetus that has been cloned for years to test it. I have to wonder how the virus started in the first place. This cloned fetus has been used for years in other vaccines and experiments. The virus could have started with an experiment that combined different viruses and used this fetus in testing or production. This most unethical and dangerous testing is ironically called “gain of life.” What a dumb name for tests that create death. Back to the music. Other than very real lyrics dealing with the real world the music is incredible. Dream Theater heralded a whole new progressive genre being progressive metal. The first 6 releases minus When Dream and Day Unite are 4 and 5 star releases. This and Metropolis part 2 being 5 star. They have not repeated the formula. That’s ok. We have these masterpieces.

    Way off in the distance I saw a door
    I tried to open
    I tried forcing with all of my will but still
    The door wouldn't open
    Unable to trust in my faith
    I turned and walked away
    I looked around, felt a chill in the air
    Took my will and turned it over
    The glass prison which once held me is now gone
    A long lost fortress
    Armed only with liberty
    And the key of my willingness
    Fell down on my knees and prayed
    "Thy will be done"
    I turned around, saw a light shining through
    The door was wide open
