50. Metropolis Pt. 1: The Miracle and the Sleeper
Not really proggy, I wish it was heavier.
49. Trial of Tears
Cool intro, but by the time the second verse kicks in I get turned off.
48. New Milennium
Don't know why everyone hates this one. It is groovy.
47. Erotomania
Great song.
46. 6:00
I heard it once at a concert, I liked it when the singer went all gritty voice.
45. Caught in a Web
Caught innn a weeeeeebbbbb

Weird keyboard sound but I love it when he says "sex is death." So deep.

I can't even hear what the guy is saying at the beginning.

39. Lines in the Sand
If this turned into an instrumental, it would be a better song.

Techno-beat at the beginning was best part.
36. Breaking all Illusions
random guy muttering was best part.
35. Hollow Years
what are they even talking about?
34. Beneath the Surface
What is the point of this song? The album would be fine without it. Good song though.
33. Another Day
more like another gay if you ask me.
32. This Dying Soul
by the way, I hate scenes from a memory.
31. The Glass Prison
Weak intro, they should've lengthened the second half instrumental.
30. A Change of Seasons
Too long

"Let's stare the problem... right in the eeeyyesss.. hmm hmm ffrom coast to coast." -Mike Portnoy

Main theme sounds too much like U2. Pretty good though.

Talk about muse clone! Amirite? Can a brother relate? *holds up hand for high five, no one in the vicinity moves*
17. Stream of Consciousness
kick x2 tom x4 kick x2 tom x4 kick x2 snare x4 crash
16. Endless Sacrifice
Man do I hate SFAM

Portnoy at his best here. Absolutely adore his timbre. One of his highlights: "IMPROVED WITH AGE!"

Obligatory kneeling and bowing/thumbs up/metal signaller emoticon.
13. Losing Time
No make-up girl gets burned by singer.

8. Eve
I'm unique!
7. Raise the Knife
I've never heard of this song in my life. People keep saying it's good though.

So there you have it. It's 5 in the morning, I despise life, and I'm pretty sure I've gone half insane trying to justify my existence and trying to finish this paper due tomorrow. Cheers.
