Product Description

Never a band to do things by halves, Dream Theater's Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence is a two-disc extravaganza with a title track that clocks in at a prog-tastic 42 minutes. Following very much in the style of their previous studio release Scenes from a Memory, the "Six Degrees" piece, which occupies the entire second disc, is divided into eight movements beginning of course with the now-obligatory "Overture". It's all good, meaty stuff, but the quasi-symphonic structure isn't really justified by the music, which alternately noodles and thrashes about in a somewhat haphazard manner; while singer James LaBrie's elliptical storytelling struggles to make an impression over the rest of the band's stunningly virtuosic onslaught. The other disc has five chunky shorter pieces (averaging about 10 minutes each) which hearken back to the grungier sound of their Awake album. Guitarist John Petrucci dominates proceedings here perhaps more than he should, and only fearsome drummer Mike Portnoy can compete in the sheer volume and notes-per-second competition. The result is an album that fulfils all the fans' expectations of what this band do best. Despite the "progressive" tag, Dream Theater have, it seems, found a formula and they're sticking to it.--Mark Walker

Just recently became a DT fan, An incredible mix of influences to make thier own music. Can't wait to listen to all thier other albums.

Awesome 2 Disc set! The always amazing "The Glass Prison" kicks off the first disc and keeps going strong with "Misunderstood" and "The Great Debate!" The second disc contains one extremely long (42 min) epic taking its name from the title of the CD, which is now easily atop my favourite Dream Theater pieces! If your a Dream Theater fan, buy this CD!!!

If Train of thought is a Metal masterpiece, then this is the crowning jewel of the DT collection. Less Metal songs, and more Alternative rock, every song on this double CD is DTs best work. The Glass Prison is simply awesome, though a little long, Blind Faith, Misunderstood, The Great Debate, and Disappear are all better than anything DT has done before. The Solos put Under a Glass moon to shame.
Disk two is equally brilliant. About to Crash and Solitary shell are bona fide #1 hits. War inside my Head and The test that stumped them all are what Voices should have been. Honestly, Voices is outdated, and need not be a part of DTs catalouge anymore.
Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence is a testament to a band that is growing over the years. Buy this over anything else available. Buy this first, as it will live in your record collection until the day you die. Then, when you die, bury it in a mountain cavern so that in 5,000 years, next gen humans discover it and add it to their collection.

Dream Theaters Best Album
This album expresses everything about rock. Dream Theater can express pretty much every mood in music with just five expert musicians. Read more

Sorry dream theater!
Ooh ooh my turn to rate this album.

Not Dream Theater's best, but great anyway
Dream Theater has never quite matched the heights they achieved with the classic "Images & Words" from over a decade ago. Read more

Amazing, but still lacking
This is one hell of a great album, but it still lacks in something. One reason why it may not be considered as good, is because it came right after the breath taking Scenes From A... Read more

Is Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence a new Ben Affleck and J-lo movie or something? This album sounds like a soundtrack to some cheesy movie. Read more
