Fair enough. Who knows, maybe I'd be sold more on the story if the album hit home for me more on a musical level. TBF I think the callback to One Last Time in the closer was a really inspired choice, I genuinely love what a balls-out wankfest Dance Of Eternity is, and The Spirit Carries on is a pretty great power ballad even if it is hopelessly corny. It's just kind of overlong and pretty thin on memorable moments IMO. I absolutely get how it could be a 5 for someone, but that someone is not me (at least not yet, who knows if it'll grow on me).


In conclusion, Dream Theater's Metropolis Pt. 2 is a land of contrasts, etc. etc.

"It makes sense, even though the lyrics for Metropolis Part 1 were not intended to make sense"



I think the lyrics of metro 1 were supposed to make sense but the title was meant as a throwaway joke which backfired because the song was so popular and led to the band writing pt 2.

Impressive, nice to know music artists can make money without being on radio/singles charts. Admittedly though the fanbase for this band is huge and international. Concerts probably sell a fucking shit ton.

Band is about as popular as a band could possibly be without being "mainstream"
