An album that has made many frown and that indeed suffers on average from excessive redundancy and entire sections that are totally useless and uninteresting, as well as some of the worst tracks in the career of Dream Theater. more
An unusual type of concept album based on numerology and musical harmony, it features as its title track the group's most prestigious suite and a wide variety of rather well-crafted pieces. more
Terrifyingly technical and heavy album, it clearly carves out the characteristics of the band's heavy sound but suffers from excessive uniformity and a virtuosity that is often self-serving and not particularly tasteful. more
Two albums: the first marks the peaks of theater experimentalism (never reached again at these levels), the second composed of their longest suite (42 minutes), featuring wide and orchestral sonorities and an interesting underlying theme. more
First album with Jordan Rudess on keyboards, who definitely makes his presence felt. Despite a questionable distribution of heavier and lighter pieces, it remains perhaps the most valuable work of Dream Theater. more
Alongside excellent inspired pieces that are also different from the past, we find intrusions of poor taste and pieces that have been raped by the producer. more
A wonderful suite and then four useless covers, which are rather long on average and not recorded wonderfully, certainly not from the most favorable tour of the American band's career. Buy it only for the suite, but it has little value as an album/EP in itself. more
Heavier and darker than its predecessor, with keyboards much more in the background, it indeed marks the last collaboration with keyboardist Kevin Moore. more
An album generally regarded as a milestone in prog metal, rich in genuine sounds and tracks that will set a standard, which makes one overlook the mediocre production. more
Not particularly differentiated from each other like their predecessors, but still well-made and with a welcome return of Van Giersbergen. more
Precious album of rare sounds of pseudo-ambient often acoustic and luminous just like the image on the cover. more
Tremendously heavy sounds and catchy choruses blend with Townsend's eclecticism, and above all, a mind-blowing collaboration with Anneke Van Giersbergen! more
Excellent taste in alternative rock, except for a few tracks that are truly overly radio-oriented. more
The only group that gave me something very similar to that whole experience the Pink Floyd conveyed to me. more
Excellent progress for Camel's career, more oriented towards canonical progressive but still of excellent taste. more
Spectacular instrumental concept by Camel, democratic towards the instruments, exciting and complex just the right amount. more
Full of tasteful pop-rock oriented tracks, crafted properly and fitting for the inauguration of the promising artistic partnership between Wilson and Geffen. more
An album full of remarkable appearances and with a good concept, though at times excessively lengthy and redundant. more
Both albums of the Universal Migrator saga, the first with a Floydian memory and the second showing a decidedly power tendency; complementary, but not always remarkable, especially in the case of the latter. more
The last album before the almost twenty-year disbandment of the Swedish group, which once again mesmerizes with evocative sounds and exquisite technique. more
