Title: My favorite Dream Theater album of all time
Product review: This album, my review of which shall not be object and will be short, will simply state that of all DT albums this one is the most inspirational, the most on-target topically with regard to lyrics that really hit home, and hit hard. Here the band deals with subjects such as isolation, alcoholism, desperation and redemption in a way in which few bands could ever hope to equal.The songs take an observant listener on a ride through realms of darnkess to emerge into blissful light. The musicianship is top-notch, as we would expect from any DT album.I have to admit, this album has got me through tough times, in particular the tracks: These Walls, I Walk Beside You, The Root of All Evil and The Answer Lies Within. The rest of the album is so-so, even the epic title track.But those tracks are perhaps my favorite DT songs of all. The emotions these songs evoke are striking and poignant, truly some of the best songs DT has ever recorded IMO.
