Dive into Dream Theater's Octavarium and discover a prog metal masterpiece full of passion, complexity, and memorable moments!
Let’s be honest, the Dream are NO longer the ultra-tech metal-prog-band they wanted to appear to be. Maybe Dream, after reaching a good level worldwide, want to relax and enjoy fame and money, but I don’t think music, in general, can benefit from this.

Read this candid review to see why Octavarium may not live up to Dream Theater’s legacy and explore fresh prog-metal sounds.
Octavarium is truly a masterpiece... a tribute to Pink Floyd, not just a simple cover inserted into the song. This Octavarium seems to collect a bit of all the sounds heard so far, perhaps in a more catchy version, and ends with this 24-minute monument which frankly clashes a bit.

The majestic track giving the album its title... could be qualified as a masterpiece. If 'Train of Thought' in its boldness proved coherent, this latest album is instead less linear although it demonstrates a commendable variety.

Octavarium is the epitome of this, especially for the precise use of the real orchestra behind the New York quintet. DT 'demonstrates they don’t need to prove' to anyone their technical prowess.

Dream Theater have surprised us once again, mixing various genres, rhythms, melodies, different scales, showcasing the technique they have in abundance. 'Octavarium,' on the other hand, is a true work of art, and probably my favorite on the CD.

"The first two tracks slip by without a trace, and 'Answer Lies Within' is downright annoying with its overly sweet chorus." "Octavarium... drags out wearily with vocal lines repeated ad nauseam; you have to wait until the 12th minute to hear a variation."

Octavarium is Dream Theater, it’s an album that encapsulates, like a precious treasure chest, all the souls of this band in a journey that explores entirely heterogeneous sounds. It’s the opener that every album should have: catchy, fast, with a stunning chorus both in intensity and vocal interpretation.
