I have listened to the 24 minute "Octavarium" so many times I know the whole thing word for word, note for note in my head (like every other Dream Theater song lol), but this one is really special for some reason, it is the best on the album for sure. The way the album is setup is insanely abstract and really interesting to grasp the whole concept of it, and figure out how things are connected within and what not. "Intervals" is probably my favorite section of the Octavarium, when LaBrie and Portnoy are yelling "Trapped in inside this Octavarium" at the end (after listening to the whole song, if not album before), it makes my whole body freeze in awe, don't know why. Other great songs on the album are The Root of All Evil, Panic Attack, and Sacrificed Sons, the rest are pretty good though. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

And...systematic chaos is Super fantastic! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Then again, I doubt they'll ever write something as fantastic as Scenes from a Memory ever again. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

To me Octivarium is one of the most amazing albums by them. Maybe the reason for this is that when I was younger it was the first album by Dream Theater that i had heard and maybe thats what pulled me into to it.

I don't think they will ever create an album as good as Awake. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I don't think they will ever create an album as good as Awake. Alot of Dream Theater material was released before Muse released their first album, I know what you mean though, but I don't think they have ripped them off that much, the only 2 songs I can think of that sound remotely like Muse are "Never Enough" and "Prophets of War," besides those, I think Muse is actually taking Dream Theater's sound and putting in their songs.
