Artist: DREAM THEATER
Album: SYSTEMATIC CHAOS LTD. EDIT. (CD+DVD)

Release date: 2007
Media type: CD

I can't believe I'm saying this, but this might very well be the best Album Dream Theater has ever done. It's epic in every way, and nothing short of epic, in the same way SFAM was, even though this album is vastly different. It's a technical masterpiece, the most technically advanced album I've ever heard, bar none!!!!!!! 1. In The Presense of Enemies part 1: 10/10 Wawawiwa this is good stuff 2: Forsaken: 9/10 Much better ballad than "Answer Lies Within" 3: Constant Motion: 9/10 Typical DT single, very enjoyable 4: Dark Eternal Night: 10/10 Heavy stuff, sick instrumental, like "Dance of Eternity" on Steroids 5: Repentance: 9/10 Damn, now I wanna cry, poor Mike Portnoy 6: Prophets of War: 10/10 Awesome Anthem Song, simply awesome 7: Ministry of Lost Souls: 10/10 Just listen, just listen, just listen!!!!! 8: In The Presense of Enemies part 2: 10/10 The most gratifying ending track to any DT album ever. Your ears will bleed, your heart will sink, your soul will wither, and you'll still be wanting more, and than you'll go back to track #1, and listen to the album again and again and again and again, trust me, u will. Just trust me.

I really don't want to elaborate too much, because its extremely hard to put into words the greatness of this album. 2007, we may be hearing the greatest prog album of all time, and I defy anyone to disagree with me once they hear this album. Scenes From a Memory, MOVE OVER!!!
