Dream Theater, Scenes From A Memory. Love, murder, time travel, mental illness, this one’s got it all!

Not to mention John freaking Petrucci playing some of the best riffs and guitar solos of all time. I've listened to that album more times than any other.

My tastes in music have changed since I heard it 23 years ago, and I haven't even liked a dream theater in the last 20 years, but holy frig is that album just perfect.

Yeah, I think the last DT album I sort of liked was systematic chaos. I also really dig the intro to count of Tuscany off black clouds and silver linings, but that’s about it. It’s a shame.
