My 895th most played album. Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory. The fifth studio album and first concept album. An interesting story about going through past life regression therapy. Nicholas the main character finds out he was murdered in a past life, his Hypnotherapist is his old killer reincarnated and kills him again. Amazing music to go with the amazing story. The album was ranked number 95 on the October 2006 issue of Guitar World magazine's list of "The greatest 100 guitar albums of all time", ranked as the 15th Greatest Concept Album (as of March, 2003) by Classic Rock Magazine, In 2012, the readers of Rolling Stone voted the album into the #1 position of their "Your Favorite Prog Rock Albums of All Time" poll. It is #3 on Metal Kingdom's top album list.

범작보다도 더 많은 명작을 가진 Dream Theater지만 이들의 앨범들 중에서도 최고 명반을 뽑으라면 아마 Images And Words, Metropolis Pt. 2, 그리고 본작이 뽑힐 것이다. Images And Words야 90년대 프로그래시브 메탈의 효시로 여겨지면서, 현재까지도 많은 사람이 가장 선호하는 작품으로 알려져 있다. Met... Read More

15년 전쯤 처음 DT에 입문하고서 대부분 말하는 것처럼 가장 듣기 어려웠던 게 Awake였고 그중에도 Lie 이후의 세 곡, Lifting shadows off a dream / Scarred / Space-dye vest 이 세 곡이 참 손이 안 갔었다. 시간이 흐르고 앨범은 가만히 있었는데 내가 바뀐거 같다.
