It is indeed, but I'd like to mention that Queensryche's first 3 LPs, Watchtower's first 2 and Fates Warning's first 3 (with Ray Alder) all preceded it (though I've only listened to
Paralells from FW; all the others mentioned I've already heard). But yes, I won't deny it was influential. I simply don't consider it the masterpiece many say it is.
