What would you have called the CD ?

[krieger]

It should be called "Dream Theater".

...

Oh, wait... 

[The Letter M]

"Trapped inside this Dream Theater!!!"

Actually, naming it after the band could also hold double-meaning, in that the album is a performance of a show IN a theater...the Dream Theater. FAS opens 'the show' with introduction music, and in fact, the piece was written as being the band's intro music in mind for future live shows, so the album is set up as a live show performance in a theater.

The closing Easter Egg after the climactic closing epic sort of serves as curtain call/closing music, where the players come out, do their bows, and the audience exits.

[Lucien]

The Embracing Circle.


I think the atmosphere of that section really fits the album cover/the mood of the album

[Lucidity]

I would have called it "Don't get your hopes up."

[FracturedMirror]

Enigmatic Illumination

[krieger]

I would have called it "Don't get your hopes up."

Bah.      Best album they made in the last 18 years... 

Yes, that's a good title:
"The Best of Dream Theater"

or better still:

"Finally we proved we can make amazing songs without Kevin Moore".

[I wonder if this comment will cause a commotion  ]

[Note: everything here was written tongue-in-cheek  At the same time, they are absolutely true!  ]

[BlobVanDam]

"Finally we proved we can make amazing songs without Kevin Moore".

They've proved that one so so soooooooo many times.

[perfey]

Event Horizon

Not related to the op but a great film. Would have been a nice nod to the film if they had choosed that one as an albumtitle.

I still think the st is a great choice as albumtitle, but if not that, IT or btv

[Outcrier]

"Finally we proved we can make amazing songs without Kevin Moore".

They've proved that one so so soooooooo many times.

This is like that whole " Dave Mustaine wrote all of Metallica's best songs" type deal. 

[JediKnight1969]

"The bigger picture."

[RuRoRul]

Illumination Theory obviously.

[ZKX-2099]

What about simply "The Ride."

[kirksnosehair]

Another vote here for "Illumination Theory"

[SuperTaco]

The False Enemy Inside The Looking Glass Machine.

Totally.

[JayOctavarium]

The False Enemy Inside The Looking Glass Machine ROOOOOAAAAAAAAAARRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!

Totally.

Fixed.

















wait... wrong album

[Samsara]

Illumination Theory or Enigma Machine

[The Curious Orange]

"Stories of Resentment and Disdain."

[Lucien]

"Stories of Resentment and Disdain."

Not entirely accurate, considering the subject matter of most of the album, save like 2 songs. Also everyone would think it's a concept album

[Benedettosoxfan]

If they had based it on some lyrical concept contained within the album, I think it would have been "A Stare as Cold as Steel" or one of the lines in that part of The Bigger Picture. Just an educated guess.

Forever Myung

Or some stupid cop out like that.. I hate albums like that.

Niiiiiiiiice!!!

[Tick]

The Planet Album

[Benedettosoxfan]

Alright my final answer, and I think it's a darn good one, is "A Dream That's All Too Real." It just sounds awesome by itself, ties in well with the band name, and right when the Bigger Picture is hitting it's climactic ending and the album title shows up in the lyrics you're like "Oh snap son!" Just tell me that wouldn't be the bee's knees.
