Title: Very pleasantly surprised...
Product review: After Train of Thought, I was hoping Dream Theater would go back to something that was a little more their style, and "Octavarium" did not disappoint. The album's sound is definitely different from that of previous Dream Theater albums, yet stylistically the same. Save "Scenes from a Memory," this is probably the bands best work. My ONLY complaint about "Octavarium" (and the only reason I didn't give it five stars) is that for inspiration, DT seemed to borrow very heavily from the band Muse. It's uncanny how similar some of the stuff sounds. But other than that one thing, I love the album and am kind of weirded out with how I can listen to it over and over again and not get tired of it. If you're a DT fan you're going to want to pick this one up.
