Title: Octavarium is a most worthy follow up to Train of Thought
Product review: At first listen I wasn't sold but then I let it sink in that this wasn't 'Train of Thought'. I then realized just how good a record this really is. I saw Dream Theater live on this tour and was completely blown away. Their level of musicianship is just not matched these days. They carry the flame of arena progessive rock into the future with no contemporaries. Octavarium's sound engineering is noticably different from Train of Thought as well. While that was a more in your face mix and agressive sounding, this one is more atmospheric and ambient. There is a slight haze throughout the CD. I guess it's more dream like...ha ha..
