Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence
Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence est quoddam Dream Theater gregis musici album musicum, anno 2002 editum, cui insunt bini disci compacti, quorum primo quinque carmina, secundo autem tantum unum carmen inest, longitudine 42:02 minutarum. Hoc carmen, ex quo totum quoque opus nominatur, dividitur quidem in partes octo. In eo tractantur sex morbi mentis (nominibus Latinis carentes nomina Anglica adhibemus, quae lingua ipsius operis est): bipolar disorder? ('About to Crash' & 'About to Crash' reprise), posttraumatic stress disorder? ('War Inside My Head'), schizophrenia ('The Test That Stumped Them All'), postpartum depression? ('Goodnight Kiss'), autismus ('Solitary Shell'), dissociative personality disorder? ('Losing Time'). In ultima parte carminis ('Grand Finale') auditores appellantur, ut homines aperte de mentis morbis loquantur: "Shame and disgrace over mental unrest / keeps us from saving those we love" ('Pudor et infamia conturbationis animi / prohibent ne nos quos amamus salvent').
