How is it that, as a guitarist, I slept through the 90's and never heard this band before?
Sure, I've heard *of* them but assumed that it was a group from the mid-to-late eighties that was a bit washed-up. Now *why* did I think this?
After making a comment on the Rush's Vapor Trails thread about 'no more concept albumks being made anymore', Kelly pointed me to DT's Metropolis pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory. Everyone has the Metropolis Pt. 2 chopped and just calls it Scenes from a Memory so I totally missed it.
I found a copy of the album on WinMX and, being the bad evil person I am, downloaded it to check it out. WOW! When was this thing released? Maybe early eighties?? Well, no... 1999!! Who the **** makes records like this in modern times *and* has a major label supporting them? Well, Dream Theater, thats who.
I'm only about half way through the album but I'm hooked.
The next time I pass a CD store it's Scenes from a Memory is coming with me. I also plan on picking-up thier latest, released this year, which also looks to be another concept album.
Again, I ask, what the hell rock was I living under for the last 10 years?
