(astonished, mind-blown, wat, etc.)

sure there are alot for me, but the one i remember the most right now is 12:37 of a nightmare to remember. i thought they were bringing that main riff back, and they switched that into triplet metal zone and psyched me out, and i literally went "oh shit"

AwakeFromOctavarium · « **Reply #1 on:** June 19, 2010, 10:30:03 PM »

The complex rhythm part in Learning To Live. 2nd verse I think? That part is pretty mind blowing.

The first time I heard Scenes from a Memory... I was just.... blown away. I never heard anything like that before then.

The other moments that clearly stand out are the "I'm sick of all you hypocrites" section in ACOS and Intervals in Octavarium.

Whenever i listen to something once and i'm kind of $:-\$ , but then i listen to it again and i discover something hidden in the music.

The first time I ever heard Dream Theater was in 2004, listening to Metropolis. What a day. When the instrumental started and kept going, my head exploded. I was hooked, even had a few girls I dated at the time digging it.

02:23 at The Glass Prison. I was literally mindblown by that part.
DON'T CROSS THE CROOKED STEP
Another World part in A Change of Seasons
Intervals part in Octavarium.
WOMP WOMP
Sudden transition from War Inside My Head to The Test that Stumped them All in 6DoIT. Never saw it coming.
Beginning of the solo in Another Day.
Beginning of the first solo in Lie.
12:08 in a Nightmare to Remember. I was like "FUCK YEAH!" the first time that I heard it.

WOMP WOMP is definitely

worthy.

Scenes From A Memory. The whole thing (Accidentally?).

Nic35 · « **Reply #10 on:** June 19, 2010, 11:28:25 PM »

Scarred outro. The first time I saw Innocence Faded from score. The riff blew me away.

Gadough · « **Reply #11 on:** June 19, 2010, 11:30:36 PM »

The following Petrucci solos:

ending of About to Crash
finale of Octavarium
In the Presence of Enemies Part 1, two minutes in
The Best of Times 3-min solo

Any critic who says Petrucci just jacks off on guitar and plays with no real feeling should seriously give those solos a listen.

ending of Octavarium
and many others

Scenes From a Memory

"Open your eyes, Nicholas"

And when I listened to Images & Words and realized that JLB had the most powerful vocals ever. Another Day's vocals are some of my favourite of all time. OF ALL TIME!

Dcrupi · « **Reply #14 on:** June 19, 2010, 11:42:51 PM »

- Goodnight Kiss solo from Score, from 25:33 on basically--by that point I was completely

on the first time through
- The RIDICULOUS time sig changes in the middle of LSOAD.
- The final chorus build up in LSOAD
- Scarred outro
- 3:02 in The Count of Tuscany--build up is great, and when that part finally hits, it's

- The opening to, and first few minutes of, The Glass Prison.

AwakeFromOctavarium · « **Reply #15 on:** June 19, 2010, 11:49:33 PM »

Also, Hollow Years solo in Budokan.

DarkEternalNight · « **Reply #17 on:** June 20, 2010, 02:24:14 AM »

The riff from The Mirror
The drumming during Constant Motion's guitar solo
Endless Sacrifice's chorus
Octavarium and Trial Of Tears after I finally listened to them
Live at Budokan making me realize that an obsession with this band is starting

ZKX-2099 · « **Reply #18 on:** June 20, 2010, 02:27:19 AM »

The unison from In The Name Of God.

"IT JUST KEEPS GOING"

WOAHHHH OHHH OOOHHHHHHHH!

Honorary mentions go to:

DONT CROSS THE CROOKED STEP

LaBrie nailing Innocence Faded on Score
Another World

Mladen · « **Reply #20 on:** June 20, 2010, 04:03:44 AM »

The seventh minute of Metropolis part 1. It was just mindblowing.

AwakeFromOctavarium · « **Reply #21 on:** June 20, 2010, 04:11:40 AM »

... where's WOMP WOMP from? I may have forgotten.

- Bebot solo from ARoP
- Backing vocals in Lines in the Sand
- The transition from Fatal Tragedy to Beyond This Life
- Ragtime piano solo in The Dance of Eternity
- The whole of Glass Prison (my first DT song)

Darkes7 · « **Reply #25 on:** June 20, 2010, 04:39:18 AM »

1) After the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and not sure how many more (may have faded after 10 or so) listens of SFAM.
2) The Ministry of Lost Souls ending solo.
3) War Inside My Head on Score.
4) In The Name of God on Live at Budokan.
5) Hollow Years on Live at Budokan.
6) Listening to Octavarium after two years and hearing the JP + orchestra part in Sacrificed Sons I for some reason hadn't cared for two years earlier.

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #26 on:** June 20, 2010, 05:49:40 AM »

The first time I heard The Glass Prison

OperantChamber · « **Reply #27 on:** June 20, 2010, 05:53:13 AM »

Great thread. I have a ton but the ones that jump out at me now are:

In the Name of God - "FROM THE CRADLE THEY ARE CLAIMED!!"

10:43 - 11:25 of the Great Debate
And ITPOE - "Do you still wait for your God?"

moffatt · « **Reply #28 on:** June 20, 2010, 05:54:37 AM »

Most of Octavarium

robwebster · « **Reply #29 on:** June 20, 2010, 06:05:52 AM »

The minute I realised those interludes on Octavarium corresponded to the black keys on the keyboard. That was mindboggling, for me. They didn't even sound like music.

Tsev Eyd Ecaps · « **Reply #30 on:** June 20, 2010, 07:19:04 AM »

In the shattered fortress when it returns to the intro riff of TGP. Rediculous.

ScioPath · « **Reply #31 on:** June 20, 2010, 07:22:57 AM »

Finding out that there is Morse Code in ITNOG.

Mebert78 · « **Reply #32 on:** June 20, 2010, 07:28:43 AM »

Hearing "Space-Dye Vest."

Zydar · « **Reply #33 on:** June 20, 2010, 07:31:10 AM »

Hearing Battle Hymn of the Republic in INTOG.

John94 · « **Reply #34 on:** June 20, 2010, 08:54:41 AM »

Most of In the Name of God.
Especially the part with the drum fills before the final chorus.
