Octavarium

Hi. As you would know from my previous post that I bought Octavarium. I have to say its probably a great album to add to anyones collection. Adding to Dream Theater's artistic outlook is the use of the Golden Ratio in the album in entirety.

Beautiful album art is accompanied by the exciting timings of songs. Great songs hail from this album like "These Walls", giving a less progressive and more structured song with really desirable chords and lovely bright keyboards from Jordan Rudess. "Panic Attack" is a heavy sounding, facemelting song, starting with the high trebble sounds of the bright bass solo by John Myung, and polished with those Dream Theater-esque awkward timings which sound "in time".

Overall, Dream Theater's 8th Studio album puts stars on its ratings.

5/5
