After the disappointing FALLING INTO INFINITY album, Dream Theater has roared back with an incredible effort. SCENES FROM A MEMORY is excellent in every aspect. The music goes from slow and melodic to extremely intense and technical. The story is the best from any concept album I have ever listened. But to top it off, James Labrie raised himself to a new level of singing in which his singing and vocalization is distinctly different for the 4 characters in the album ( incredible !! ). This album is a must-have for fans of Dream Theater and Progressive metal overall.
