Think about it. In 10 minutes you get
- fast, upbeat rock
- soaring vocals
- a flashy instrumental section
- mellow, melancholic section
- over the top, epic ending
What's not to like? I dare to say, if you don't find anything you like during these 10 minutes, DT is not the band for you.

I agree, powerful stuff :hefdaddy :hefdaddy

Yep, the super long fade-out notwithstanding, that is great stuff. I prefer Disc 1 from Six Degrees, but I probably listen to these two songs more than any others from the album.
-
I've really come to appreciate About To Crash (Reprise) recently. Good tune.
-
uhm.....but....ya gotta start with 'Solitary Shell'......and then it's the best 16 minutes of their catalogue. Wait, include 'Goodnight Kiss' as well. The whole mellow beginning, and then the killer instrumental. So, the 20 best consecutive minutes of their catalogue
My first DT album, purchasing it a couple of days after my first DT concert. Superb!

I've always loved ATCR. The intro is very reminiscent of Styx, which was my favorite band when I first started getting into popular/rock music in the early 80s.
-
The entire album and title song is awesome with a perfect ending. The final 10 mins is the icing on the cake. :tup :hefdaddy

Before DoT, Six Degrees was, for me, Dream Theater's last great record. I just re-listened to it in its entirety for the first time in 15 years. Such a great work. And yes, the last two songs are just absolutely perfect.
Would be a nice trip if they ended set one of the coming tour with them.
-
Sure, I agree. But in the end, the whole 42 minutes is just blissfully amazing.
-
Yeah, these two are a pretty fantastic closer to what I would consider my favorite DT record, and I feel they don't get enough credit honestly.
-
One of the best albums they've ever recorded.
