Together with Images And Words this is the most important and beautiful Progressive Metal album ever made. It's my favourite Dream Theater album and one of my favourite albums of all time. It's a true classic. Scenes From A Memory is meant to be the sequel to the song Metropolis Part I "The Miracle And The Sleeper", released 7 years before on Images And Words. According to the band, that Part I was just a joke: there wasn't any project about a second part and the band members had always called it just Metropolis since it was an instrumental. But the band wasn't allowed to record a long instrumental and John Petrucci added those strange lyrics. Once Metropolis became Metropolis Part I, the fans couldn't resign themselves: they wanted a Part II. So the band began to record some demos in 1996, together with Derek Sherinian. In the beginning, Metropolis Pt.2 was a 30 minutes song. In the end, the band decided to create a 77 minute concept album, featuring an intricate plot and familiar melodies taken from the first chapter. Read more ›› |

Beautiful album and great history.  In my opinion this album is perfect to make a movie, maybe in the future.

Absolute top of the progressive metal that ever was and will ever be, in my opinion of course  . This album delivers very interesting and chilling story, progression and outstanding performance on each one of the instruments.

If not for a few filler songs and some unnecessary instrument wankery, this would be a great album. "Fatal Tragedy" is a great piece, "Spirit Carries On" has a great solo and "Home" has this great riff and oriental feel. Other than that, nothing that touches me personally.

Written by Tsarist Order on 01.03.2019 at 19:55 actually that's the description for Systematic Chaos  my only complaint with this album is that is a bit too long (to put it nicely).
---- I thought the two primary purposes for the internet were cat memes and overreactions.

My favorite album of all times, what more is there to say ? I never felt as many emotions in any other album, and it's probably the only record that I know absolutely every line of by heart. Such a wonderful piece of music, can't really find any flaw in it.
