CUTTING A WHAAAAAALE

Planetary exploration fascinates me. When you consider the sheer magnitude of this universe's size, it really makes those who say "Life couldn't be on other planets" seem foolish and jaded. An estimated one-hundred billion planets reside in this universe, and the statistics that other planets have life are one in a billion. Do you know what this means? Plug in those numbers and you'll realize that there are probably around one billion planets in the universe that have life on them. How incredible is that? Do you realize how many different things there are in this universe? And we'll never get to see even a recognizable fraction of these otherworldly things. Hell, we won't get to see ANY possibly. All of the new animals that roam distant terrain. All of the different civilizations and world maps that aliens are so familiarized with in the same way that we are with Earth. All of the songs that we'll never get to hear. All of the different tastes and foods that we'll never get to try. All of the different people (or, at least, other communicatables) whom we'll never get to meet.

In a way, this is a good testament of what Earth stands for. We've got all different sorts of emotions on the spectrum here, and if I was asked to pick a single album to send out into space for reception from a spaceship of Jupiter/Neptune/Planet X/Etc., I would probably say this album. By no means am I saying that this is the perfect example of Earth music; believe me, there are loads and loads of better things that we could send out. I'm just saying that this one is as good as any other to give out, right? Chances are that those receiving it will have never heard anything like it. Imagine that you've just gotten alien music; would you really care about what it was? No, you'd probably be thrilled and enthralled that you've gotten to hear another species's projection of art through sound. If there are so many different albums to send out, why not this one?

This was the hardest album of Dream Theater for me to personally get into. On one hand, I hadn't really much of a taste of progressive metal before this band, and I found myself particularly unenthralled by a good deal of the material. Yeah, that part sounds nice. Ooh, that's a cool riff. But nothing more than a few isolated thoughts like those ones. I don't even know exactly when this album clicked with me, but I do know that I'm better off as an organism with the memory of these songs.

put another way, it sounds very 1994. I think it's the synths they used + LaBrie's voice. weirdly enough, I&W doesn't really have the same vibe (apart from Another Day lol)

Most impressive moment in DT’s career is not any solo or time signature change, it’s the transition from The Mirror to Lie
