Dream Theater's newest album. Listened to it for the first time last night, and was thoroughly impressed. Very diverse album. Upon first impression, I gave this album 9 out of 10. Great album from start to finish.
Truly an awesome cover! I think I enjoy the music as much as I enjoy the booklet's artwork. To me, the visual aspect has always been an integrated part of a record, and DT really has a good hand in choosing the appropriate artwork to their musical themes. Their preferred style of art is somewhat reminiscent to Pink Floyd's, at least in my book.
Black Sabbath isn't quite my area, although I do recognize the pioneering work they did for 'our preferred kind of noise'.
My fave tracks of them would be "Paranoid", "War Pigs" and "Disturbing The Priest".

Kansas - Leftoverture
A further classic in progressive rock! This album displays Steve Walsh and Kerry Livgren in their prime. Songs like "Carry On Wayward Son" and "Miracles Out Of Nowhere" just cannot get any better!
