Dream Theater - Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence (2002)

The sixth album from this band from USA.

Dream Theater was a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

I really loved and love the 1999 album Metropolis. It is one of the greatest, if not the greatest progressive metal album of all time.

The band waited three years.... toured, that is, before Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence arrived.

This album is a double CD taking us past one and a half hour. 

The band is here discovering symphonic prog and is making their own symphonic prog album as they are discovering this genre.

The music is at times progressive metal and this is very much a Dream Theater. Nevertheless.....

 This is their symphonic prog album. There is a lot of epic melodies here. All of them are in the masterpiece class. The music is very complex throughout. 

This is indeed a superb album and my favourite Dream Theater album.  

A masterpiece, indeed.
