Not typical DT, but is still a good cd. Cost was good, shipping ok as it is coming from overseas. Perfect packaging, and is new. Great for collection.

The saying "you get what you pay for" rings true in this case. Sadly this is a bootleg copied from the European digipak edition, with cheap printing making some text unreadable and thim flimsy discs. In this day and age, please ensure you buy your music from reputable sources and purchase legitimate products.

It literally took me 4 listens to get all the way through it. I tried, really I tried. I love these guys and I've seen them live 5 times (don't miss the opportunity you won't regret it), but this one was real hard to follow, both storyline wise and musically. I bought the HDTracks hi-rez version, for what it's worth, but I believe the LP version with the higher dynamic range content may be a better way to go. There's a lot of stuff going on that benefits from the greater dynamics. This is a transfer that I believe suffers from the compression-limiting that sucks a great deal of the emotion/drama out of the work. I will update if I ever get to hear the LP. Peace. DJ

The music is unmistakably Dream Theater. The music is great and very attention holding. You can listen to the music over and over and it seems a little different each time. You feel different during and after the listening experience. It is one of the best DT albums I have listened to.

Bought this cd and also seen The Astonishing tour which is the whole 2+ hours live! It is very good, but leans heavy on the keyboards and not lead guitar which is a major draw of this band. Very well made and very intricate work just needed more lead guitar for my taste and many others. Very intense live show though.
