Yep. That's a good summary for this song.

am i the only one that thinks that this album is just as good as the other Dream Theater albums? the albums are not supposed to sound the same, or be the same, that's why they call it PROGRESSIVE metal! i think that each of the Dream Theater albums all have different qualities that make them excellent!

I have waited a long long time to hear john myung given a good prominent place in the mix on a DT album and he sounds mega on this. Great tone at last!

Has anybody else noticed that this song is structurally very similar to Rush's YYZ?

Brutal

"Dream Theater" is great album. strong all the way through.

how so much combinations of noises perfectally matched can turn into something so full of beauty, misterious and mind trips? What enigma! I love these guys!

one of the best by Dream Theater, excellent!

awesome guitar solo parts!

Halloween season vibe love it chills

Epic!

Amazing amazing song so good rely puts a smile on your face

The riff that plays over the solos, starting at 2:33, consists of one measure of 6/4 and one of 5/4. This collective 11/4 pattern is played twice during the solos, for a total of 22 beats. Let's call this Pattern A. Over the first guitar solo, Mangini plays a strict 4/4 beat while Pattern A is played underneath, technically creating a groove of 2 measures of 4/4 and one of 3/4, or 2+2+3/4 over 11/4. Then, in the second guitar solo, Petrucci plays a measure of 4/4 during the first 6/4 measure by playing a high C#, and then on beat 5 begins a descending pattern of seven 16th notes which lasts throughout Pattern A. So he plays 10 measures of 7/16 and then two extra sixteenth notes to fill in the measure (or 72 sixteenth notes total). As we said before, Pattern A has 22 beats total, or 88 sixteenth notes. Subtract the four beats in the beginning of Pattern A where JP is playing in 4/4, and you get 88 minus 16, or 72. In doing this, Dream Theater has taken away our ability to have nice things. But Dream Theater IS a nice thing, so really Dream Theater is just telling us that we can't have Dream Theater.

2:01 why is nobody talking about this part?! It's pretty simple compared to what came before, but it's a perfect transition to a epic moment, and Jordan's organ sound just adds that extra oomph.

Amazing.

awesome guitar

The machine on the photo is not an Enigma Machine. Actually, it is a Bombe, a machine used to find the settings used in an enigma machine.

3:34

yes!!!!

Great song, an instrumental where the whole band can show off. Great basslines too, and Petrucci's sound is always the best. Maybe somebody who said the snare sounds bad is right... I've got the feeling it is too compressed, or tuned too low. It's kinda flat. I don't know much about drums.

I certainly agree with you - this is amazing music that shows the bandmembers' talents. But I do think that a true display of DT's talent is a few of the songs from their earliest days as DT. JLB is there too, right? His F# tone is unreal, as is the tone of JP's guitar, MM's drums (not so much about 'tone'), JM's bass lines, and JR's keyboards. Cheers mate!!

0:45 kinda sounds like the theme for inspector gadget :P

My favorite!! \m/

Enigma Machine

pretty big fan of the new album. Still needs more time to grow on me. Definitely better than ADTOE imo. Like the different sounds on the different tracks and James has some great parts. Was looking for a little more from Illumination Theory.. feels like it doesnt go anywhere. Just kinda ends. There isnt that moment that gives me the chills like Count of Tuscany or Octavarium does.. But overall great album, cant wait to hear it live

I love this tune. For me, it has most of what any good prog tune should offer a listener.

One of the best songs on the album

Enigma machine by dream theater is the catchiest song I've ever heard. That song is catchy

Yup, I also recognized the spacy part of Count Of Tuscany in it. Just as the solo of The Enemy Inside sounds a lot like the one in On The Backs Of Angels.

the best song of the album

It's dream theater dude. It's probably a mix of all your diatonic, harmonic minor, pentatonic, diminished, augmented and whatever else lol.

Every album depresses me more as a Myung fan. In the classic days, the Ytse Jam and Learning to Live days, he added so much. I miss those days... I still love the new Album though.

Man, I love the parts 0:42, and 4:22. 0:42 sounds so weird, and amazing at the same time, while... 4:22 is like mysterious, or something. My English is not the best, so... yeah.

This song is completely amazing and the new album awesome but then again what would you expect from DT. Can't wait to see them live Petrucci said it will be a 3 hour show no opening bands. It's going to be GD mind blowing!!

That is so cool thanks, I have never heard about that cover album before :-D On KZread I have found it as “Jordan Rudess - Tarkus (Emerson, Lake & Palmer Cover)”. The riff is at 19:05. DT is also playing the same in another tune. I am so damn sure.

Thanks for the tip.

Mantap memang Dream Theater nih......harat banar manciptakan music-music progresif berkualitas tinggi.......klo ulun perhatikan....sound snarex Mangini berbeda di album ini dibanding album sebelumnya.....Dream Theater rawk.....Tur lagi pank ke Indonesia

Lack of creativity made this song a simple version of what it could have been if they had done it a few years ago

Dream Theater is the LIFE

To people comparing older DT to know have no idea what they're talking about. When you listen to a modern DT record and then go back to Images or Awake, their sound is drastically different. People need to stop making comparisons and just enjoy the damn music. I love DT, and while I didn't care for SC or BCSL, they are my favourite band and have always made me enjoy their music in some fashion. This record is incredible and a great step to reinventing their sound.

Impactante canción :O

Enigma Machine is the best of the álbum.....

Reminiscent of Erotomania, it can really stand up to it, in my opinion.

SC kicks ass!!!!!!!

I admit as good as ADTOE was in 2011 I still wasn't sold on the idea of a DT without Portnoy at the time. Then self titled came out in 2013 and I remember listening to it for the first time, specifically when I got to Enigma Machine and I was like 'Okay, Dream Theater are back baby! We are in business!' Side note: I can't believe these memories are now already so nostalgic.
