Fun fact. Dream Theater always starts their albums with the last note of the last song from their previous album. Listen to that final stretched note on this and it connects perfectly with the song As I Am from their next album, Train of Thought. P.s. As I Am ROCKS! CORRECTION: not always. Only for 4 albums and this and the next are a part of that.
If anyone asks me which Dream Theater album is my favorite, it's Scenes from a Memory, but if they ask me which one I've listened to the most, it's this one. The seriousness of the lyrics, and the melodies, are just superb.
Great work and nice to put in some pictures of a band in different eras in the instrumental parts. Young and new John Petrucci looks pretty different and John Myung doesn't age which is common fact that we know. :)
One of my all-time favorites! Thanks! BTW, James LeBrie is the only vocalist. Mike Portnoy did the high-pitched part in The Test That Stumped Them All, but otherwise, it's all James.
Most incredible mix of orchestra style music and rock even just during the overture part live they put together the actavarium orchestra hand-picked from orchestras around the world and went on their 20-year anniversary tour called score it's incredible seeing that live
Amazing, thoughtful and emotional reaction from the both of you. This is probably one of DT's most emotional songs covering mental health in a most independent manner. From James's emotional vocals to the complete musical masterclass driving the emotions through every note. I know this rather well and I still get chills and goose bumps everything I hear it. Great job on the video Erik, your hard work is appreciated.
Fun fact: this songs ends by the same long chord with which the first song in their next album begins, so they like blend together in such way. And the same goes with the previous album, which ends in static, which is the beginning of this album - you get the picture) And the next album, Octavarium, begins and ends with the same piece, completely looping in on itself. Yeah, DT know how to do such stuff, making their works even more amazing! Always some conceptual things not only in lyrics, but in instrumental parts as well! And Mike Portnoy's 12 step suite! Goingthrough 5 albums in a row! I think 2000 - 2010 was indeed the golden age of DT! And this pacticular song, Six Degrees, IMHO, is the absolute best not only by DT, but in all prog rick and metal history at least, that was ever composed!
I've seen Dream Theater 6 times! 5 times in Los Angeles and 1 time in El Paso Texas! each show from these guys just got better & better! they are from plant "Blow Your Mind" they are simply the best at what they do! #1, I can't wait to see them again!
I have heard parts of this before, but never the whole piece at once.Susie - your take on the intro was right on the money. It is a summary of all six sections.‼️
Really appreciate you guys positivity and understanding comments. Like to see people so aware of these things and caring so much. I personally identify with Solitary Shell the most. High functioning Aspy with a niece with Autism.
Thanks for the thoughtful, and caring reaction Travis and Suzie. This was a long one and you did it justice. I think I'll buy some merch to support you guys. Love ya keep rocking!
You two going on this journey was hopefully magical, emotional and thought provoking for you. Music is such a dynamic thing and it’s pure emotion brought to sound. This entire piece is truly emotional, tragic, uplifting and gorgeous
I just wanted to thank you for doing so many DT reactions because they are one of my top band's hands down. A day does not go by without listening to them. Also, I want you to know how much I enjoy your channel!!! I like how real you guys are. I can see, hear and feel how genuine you both are!! Keep it up
Thanks for the lyrics Erik! And thank you two for your awesome reaction and message! An amazing piece of music and exactly what I needed today! You have the best music faces!!!
Just the snare on this album is enough !!!!! Great reaction y'all ... loved it ... This album was a masterpiece, and they touched on this again with "The Enemy Inside" on their Title Album 'Dream Theater'
Wonderful reaction !! I was lucky enough to see this performed live in London .. didn’t know the meaning of the song until later .. they didn’t pull any punches with the lyrics in this piece
I appreciate the understanding and respect you guys have for Dream Theater. My all time favorite band, so I’m glad you guys are able to see and appreciate what they offer to the world of music.
I saw them do this live on one of the 10 times I seen them live. It was amazing. The first part was just a track they played when they came back from intermission.
Thank you so much for putting the lyrics, This is disc number 2 which I talked on 'The Glass Prison' reaction video. James LaBrie's vocals really put him on the highest level with this masterpiece. Portnoy his drumming and also as a vocalist and the mixture of the lyrics from Petrucci and Portnoy is just our of this world. So many good memories listening to this. See you guys later!!!!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗
I feel like I'm listening to my uncle sobolofsky when he was playing in the sixth Symphony of the German Orchestra doing the sybrowsky and Lisk version of mendelssohn's Promenade so electrifying but all the compositions Dream Theater band members are bringing forth the fruit of all the mystifying and elaborations of the structures of symphonic variations combined into collaborations of undeniable and Mystikal elements of musical expositions
You are some ambitious sum-bitches to tackle this one, no doubt. I was fortunate enough to see them do this at Radio City Music Hall with a full orchestra. Holy moley was that something. Cheers!
When I listened this for the 1st time .....I said to myself ....what ....??? and then , listened 12 times to begin to understand this masterpiece , in my opinion the most extremely progressive music I've ever heard ...
I just stumbled upon you're guys' channel and your passion for the music is so clear it reminded me of when I first heard the album and was soo mesmerized, bedazzled and high on the music. Thank you ! Keep the love alive
I think my favorite part of this whole track is the solo section in “The Test that stumped them all” They managed to make each individual section feel so “schizophrenic” compared to what came before and after it. It’s such a beautiful example of conveying disjointed, overwhelming tension through song.
I really enjoyed taking this 42 minute journey with both of you. It was like hearing it for the first time again. I felt both of you nailed the analysis of this mega epic right in the head.
Ok, only because this album cannot be split into different parts, you must listen to Metropolis Pt 2: Scenes From a Memory album in it's entirety, with lyrics as well. This entire album is based upon a mystery story that the band wrote. Y'all have actually listened to one of the songs live called Beyond This Life (the one with the improvised section.) This album is considered their best by many fans and rightfully so.
Hi there, a follow your reactions, especialy on DT and TU for this react, i have a girl with possibly autism and seeing my favorite band 20 years ago still being recognized for their genious and for bringing this issues to life is amazing! I love your reactions to DT, and the vibe U two give is amazing!
I absolutely love the song, but i have to comment that i'm really touched by how you guys talk about the mental health aspect brought up in the lyrics. You're good people.
There's a live version of this where the band is backed by an orchestra. Would highly recommend checking it out!
Yeap: the "SCORE" edition.
very cool
The crazy thing is that live version is even better than this studio version. Not a note is missing... Crazy !
I prefer the studio version because Petrucci isn't playing during the first song or two.
Fun fact. Dream Theater always starts their albums with the last note of the last song from their previous album. Listen to that final stretched note on this and it connects perfectly with the song As I Am from their next album, Train of Thought. P.s. As I Am ROCKS!
CORRECTION: not always. Only for 4 albums and this and the next are a part of that.
not always. that trend started from metropolis part 2 and ended in Octavarium
wow thats a cool fun fact
@@vianhoho19 you’re right. I actually thought it continues beyond Octavarium.
@@KhaledAkbik well no you know 😉 "The story ends where it began"
If anyone asks me which Dream Theater album is my favorite, it's Scenes from a Memory, but if they ask me which one I've listened to the most, it's this one. The seriousness of the lyrics, and the melodies, are just superb.
This turned into a great day. Having my lyric's video get unblocked so people can actually see the work I put into it.
God bless you brother
We appreciate your work, tyvm!
Great work and nice to put in some pictures of a band in different eras in the instrumental parts. Young and new John Petrucci looks pretty different and John Myung doesn't age which is common fact that we know. :)
Wish you all the best in life...you are a great person 🙏
Thx for the great work on this classic!🤟🏻🙏🏻
This whole album is, by any composers standard, a musical masterpiece.
yea
DT is still my favorite band by far since 1992
You guys shoulda watched the live version from the Score DVD in 2006. Seeing the orchestra play this live is absolutely astonishing
thats really cool!
I agree. I happened to be in Radio City Music Hall that night and indeed saw it live. Octavarium was amazing as well.
Astonishing... Love that word... (Album hehe)
Definitely my DT all time favorite. Miss the good old days when they wrote more meaningful songs with stories and messages behind them..
I believe that's Mike Portnoy's children at the beginning of the "Goodnight Kiss" part.
One of my all-time favorites! Thanks!
BTW, James LeBrie is the only vocalist. Mike Portnoy did the high-pitched part in The Test That Stumped Them All, but otherwise, it's all James.
cool!
I believe Petrucci did vocals on Solitary Shell and Portnoy did vocals on War Inside My Head too.
That part is definitely James. Other than that petrucci and portnoy have backing vocals all over the place
Sorry. I may not have been clear; I meant that Petrucci and Portnoy do backing vocals.
The Score version is AMAZING!!!
Great reaction! Dream theater the best progressive metal band! 💪👏
Most incredible mix of orchestra style music and rock even just during the overture part live they put together the actavarium orchestra hand-picked from orchestras around the world and went on their 20-year anniversary tour called score it's incredible seeing that live

OMG!. This was just a mind blow.. Thanks a bunch Erik. My Asperger just woke up and cheering this. Thanks a lot for this
I have Asperger’s too and love dream theater
Got damn how i miss Mike Portnoy…. DT has never been the same since he left 😭😭
Fun fact: this songs ends by the same long chord with which the first song in their next album begins, so they like blend together in such way. And the same goes with the previous album, which ends in static, which is the beginning of this album - you get the picture) And the next album, Octavarium, begins and ends with the same piece, completely looping in on itself.

And this pacticular song, Six Degrees, IMHO, is the absolute best not only by DT, but in all prog rick and metal history at least, that was ever composed!
For me this is one of the craziest composition of all time.
Mike Portnoy shared the vocals in The Test That Stumped All.
Great job you two!! This has to be your longest reaction ever!! In my opinion, this is my favorite DT album!! So glad you enjoyed it!!
There is live version guys 😅 yes, all of it in one shot 😅
Finally a reaction that is not interrupted every 2 seconds, thank you 😁
I've seen Dream Theater 6 times! 5 times in Los Angeles and 1 time in El Paso Texas! each show from these guys just got better & better! they are from plant "Blow Your Mind" they are simply the best at what they do! #1, I can't wait to see them again!
One of the best concept album of all time...:-)
Hear it nearly every day on my way to the office. Since 20 years❤❤
I play it on my work to work almost daily as well!
What a brilliant and depressing concept album. But man, is it with the trip. I am looking forward to your lyric video, Erik🤟
WOOOOOWW NEVER THOUGHT YOU GUYS WERE REACTING TO THIS... TIME TO STAY TUNED ON YOUR CHANNEL FOR MOREEEE....
That's why it's called Overture. It's an instrumental over view of the whole composition.
I love you guys, you always react great music !, You have to keep listening to dream theater, they have a lot of great songs!.
I have heard parts of this before, but never the whole piece at once.Susie - your take on the intro was right on the money. It is a summary of all six sections.‼️
thank you
@@TheWolfHunterZ Thank you for that reaction and every other reaction..
@@willasacco9898 I second
This is the best, you hear me? THE BEST REACTION from you guys!!!! Appreciate it sooo much!!!!
thanks eric, and thanks to you guys for the reaction
Really appreciate you guys positivity and understanding comments. Like to see people so aware of these things
and caring so much. I personally identify with Solitary Shell the most. High functioning Aspy with a niece with Autism.
Thanks for the thoughtful, and caring reaction Travis and Suzie. This was a long one and you did it justice. I think I'll buy some merch to support you guys. Love ya keep rocking!
The very end where it fades out slowly is used to open the next album as a fade in
Another cool fact. The song In The Name of God, the last note on that song Jordan Rudess played with his nose.
You two going on this journey was hopefully magical, emotional and thought provoking for you. Music is such a dynamic thing and it’s pure emotion brought to sound. This entire piece is truly emotional, tragic, uplifting and gorgeous
Goodnight kiss and solitary shell are amazing songs
Your reactions are the best. Your facial expressions make them so authentic.
42 minutes spending to listen it was one of the best in my life. Absolutely incredible Masterpiece ❤👍🖐
I just wanted to thank you for doing so many DT reactions because they are one of my top band's hands down. A day does not go by without listening to them.

Awesome reaction !!! Thanks Erik !!! (maybe next one.. Octavarium....) hint hint
I did send The Glass Prison to them about a month ago and should be available soon.
An epoch masterpiece.
I appreciate the understanding and respect you guys have for Dream Theater. My all time favorite band, so I’m glad you guys are able to see and appreciate what they offer to the world of music.
Proud to be a Majesty/DT Fan since the beginning! Greetings to all DT fans out there ! :-)
I saw them do this live on one of the 10 times I seen them live. It was amazing. The first part was just a track they played when they came back from intermission.
well done Erik!
Damn.. Goodnight kiss always gets me off guard...
excellent work Eric thank you

You guys need to do Octavarium from DT. Another long-track killer song
I feel like I'm listening to my uncle sobolofsky when he was playing in the sixth Symphony of the German Orchestra doing the sybrowsky and Lisk version of mendelssohn's Promenade so electrifying but all the compositions Dream Theater band members are bringing forth the fruit of all the mystifying and elaborations of the structures of symphonic variations combined into collaborations of undeniable and Mystikal elements of musical expositions
thank you for listening and reacting to song - not many are so brave. i recently discovered it and it quickly became one of my favorites.
"Acid Rain " by Liquid Tension Experiment is another good one I enjoy.
Great review guys! i mean, the whole album is a masterpiece… but the SDOIT Suit is an awesome journey all by itself!
This opys should be in a movie! Seen them twice and I've never seen them do this one. Pity for me, bully for who ever has.
Oh yes!!! The outro of this grand epic is the intro to the next album, Train of Thought.
You are some ambitious sum-bitches to tackle this one, no doubt. I was fortunate enough to see them do this at Radio City Music Hall with a full orchestra. Holy moley was that something. Cheers!
sound is quite compressed on this video. as for the song, man it is just so incredible!!!
When I listened this for the 1st time .....I said to myself ....what ....??? and then , listened 12 times to begin to understand this masterpiece , in my opinion the most extremely progressive music I've ever heard ...
Love you guys and your reactions. This song is so huge and so relatable and DT has always been my favorite band. Glad you enjoyed!!!
I just stumbled upon you're guys' channel and your passion for the music is so clear it reminded me of when I first heard the album and was soo mesmerized, bedazzled and high on the music. Thank you ! Keep the love alive
Best video in your channel. Tank you from Italy 🙏🇮🇹
I think my favorite part of this whole track is the solo section in “The Test that stumped them all”
They managed to make each individual section feel so “schizophrenic” compared to what came before and after it.
It’s such a beautiful example of conveying disjointed, overwhelming tension through song.
Great job, amazing song, incredible band! Masters!!!!🙏🏻🤟🏻
"Those who were dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."
Man, you guys truly do what no other reviewers do with this stuff. Very nice!
I love the fact that you love Dream Theater as much as we do.
I really enjoyed taking this 42 minute journey with both of you. It was like hearing it for the first time again. I felt both of you nailed the analysis of this mega epic right in the head.
275 time signature changes.

I’m so happy guys that you are taking core Dream Theater epic, hope you’ll do more from them.
If you want suggestion from them, As I Am is the go-to.
WOW! Erik what a fabulous job you've done ✔️
congrats for your 101k followers! Maybe the longest DT song if we put aside The Astonishing.
Amazing!! 🤘🏻
Also..check out meanstreak. 3 of the members are each married to members of dream theater. Female thrash baby
Hi there, a follow your reactions, especialy on DT and TU for this react, i have a girl with possibly autism and seeing my favorite band 20 years ago still being recognized for their genious and for bringing this issues to life is amazing!

I absolutely love the song, but i have to comment that i'm really touched by how you guys talk about the mental health aspect brought up in the lyrics. You're good people.
Amazing! MORE Plisss
Simply the best.
Greatest prog met song ever written....
Hands Down...
Listen to Metropolis pt.2 full album, an epic concept
love her 😂
Nice omage to The Rush album hemispheres at the very end there in the form of that Kong that goes out into forever.
Correction!!! Portnoy also sings back up vocals on War Inside My Head.
Good choice for reaction :)
Overture = Future Zelda soundtrack, I swear! I have always thought that. I think this album is underrated.
