Recommend you check out the entire twelve-step suite since you already did The Glass Prison which is the longest track. Maybe you misunderstood, but the five songs that the suite consists of are all on different albums, not just on Six Degrees. They share in concept and have musical continuations and references to the previous tracks as the suite progresses. 1. The Glass Prison (2002 - 13:53) 2. This Dying Soul (2003 - 11:24) 3. The Root of All Evil (2005 - 8:08) 4. Repentance (2007 - 10:43) 5. The Shattered Fortress (2009 - 12:49) Edit: Not sure how to avoid those auto timestamps. They obviously have nothing to do with this video :)

Love this song. The first DT song I've ever heard and still love it to this day 🤘 I still remember sitting in the car with my brother listening to it after we bought the record in the recordstore. Half a year later we went to their concert and this made this song also the first song I've ever seen live by any band 🤘

'Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence' ".. is a type of concept album wherein the five songs which comprise the first disc explore different themes of lifetime struggle, such as alcoholism, loss of faith, self-isolation, sanctity of life and death. The sixth song-a 42-minute piece occupying the second disc, separated into eight tracks-explores the stories of six individuals suffering from various mental illnesses."

@lparksession

The rest of the 12 Step Suite (the songs chronicling the drummer's addiction and recovery) occur as one song each from the band's next 4 albums. It was always intended on being played in full live after the last track was released but the drummer quit Dream Theater before it could happen. He has performed the suite live though with members of Haken, dubbed 'Mike Portnoy's Shattered Fortress'.

A NIGHTMARE TO REMEMBER! One of their best! Its dark, tells a story and has one of the best riffs ever in it!

Going to reiterate: Their concept album "Scenes from a Memory" is the best collective work they've done. Think about it!

Follow through with This Dying Soul next! It's the perfect follow up song and continues the 12-Step Suite as well.

This song is a part of a larger concept that starts out with this song called the Twelve Step Suite. The Twelve Step Suite includes "The Glass Prison", "This Dying Soul", "The Root of All Evil", "Repentance", and finally "The Shattered Fortress". All of the lyrics were written by then drummer Mike Portnoy detailing how he dealt with his alcoholism through the twelve step program of Alcoholics Anonymous. You should really consider going through them in order to completion. It is quite the musical journey and has quite a powerful message of overcoming addiction and perseverance. Plus "The Shattered Fortress" is one of my favourite songs ever.

Dude. I saw them live at The Beacon Theater in NYC as a class trip with my music theory class. They played this whole album, had an intermission, and then played all of Metallica’s Master of Puppets album. Fuxking. Unreal.

I've been a Dream Theater fan for nearly 20 years and watching you react brings me back to the first time I got to hear them.... priceless man. Keep it up!

This is unironically an excellent suggestion. Six Degrees, to me, is a much better song than Tuscany (which feels like such a weird, queasy and cheesy song to me, especially the "I'm the Count of Tuscany!!!!" part), whereas Six Degrees has some great movements and melodies, akin to a progmetal version of a classical composition.

DT has been my fav band for 17 years, so watching you is like basically watchinf myself when I heard those songs for the first time. I can absolutely relate to every gesture, face or expression you make.

Opeth - The Lotus Eater (Live at the Royal Albert Hall)

This came out in 2002, nu-metal was huge (Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit etc) and I think Dream Theater was just going with the times by inserting the scratching into the breakdown section. This is the only song where they do that in their whole catalog if I'm not mistaken, and I think it works pretty well. It was just a sample sound played on the keyboards, would've been mad though if Jordan Rudess had actually lugged some turntables on stage and went full DJ Lethal!

Marcelo Henrique There’s no vinyl “scratching” at the end of Metropolis part 2, the ending of Metropolis 2 is just white noise from a record running on its inner groove, that connects to Glass Prison and is what you hear at the beginning of the song. What I was talking about, and what Drew mentions in the video, is at 10:19 in this video with the turntable “scratch” effect, which is very much influenced by rap metal/nu-metal of the time.

I was waiting for this. Grettings from Chile. Love your channel

I think you should react to a live version next! The Shattered fortress is an amazing song with riffs, solos and drumming that will blow you away. Their performance live in Boston 2014 is astonishing.

This was a trip. Great and honest reaction and really appreciate the commentary afterwards. That was fun to experience the song with ya and we can all tell the authenticity in the reaction.

I was on the cruise to the edge in 2017. Portnoy put together a band to play the entire 12-step music suite. The crowd was exhausted by the end of the suite.

Hi Drew ! So nice to see you deep dive into DT, and there is so much more for you to enjoy ! Apart from the other recommendations that I see (a nightmare to remember, the count of tuscany, in the name of god, breaking all illusions ...), I would add that the live versions from Budokan, Boston, Luna Park, Score ... are WAY more enjoyable because you can actually see how those aliens can reproduce this in real life, and it's incredible :) Cheers from Paris

I listen Dream Theater for almost 20 years, and you really love the metal part of it, i recomend you A Nightmare To Remember, and if you want to come back to old Dream Theater, i recomend you Metrópolis. Great reaction!

So glad you've done this one! My absolute fave DT song.

Love this song sooo much. Back in 2004 or 5 I bought a NAD cd player amp etc. and took this cd to the store to try out different speaker set ups. The owner of the shop was a lovely old asian chap who I guess was not so familiar with epic metal, but his face when this song really kicked in was so funny. To say he was blown away is an understatement and he wanted it to use as a sample song. Mikes drumming at the intro floored him, I think I made a new DT fan that day!

This Dying Soul, Endless Sacrifice or Honor Thy Father from Train Of Thought will be one of your best reactions for sure. The best part of DT, the haviest one!

Glad you like it. You're in the DT club now. Welcome! The next steps are important. At some stage soon you need to do the entire album Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory. (it's one long story ; a musical masterpiece) Only then will you have graduated. Keep up the good work!!

Brilliant reaction with this one. Insane heavy twists and turns, like a roller coaster of riffs. Ill have a go at recommending Trivium to you again. Dream Theater are an influence on them,but they're not prog as such. " What the dead men Say "is a superb track with heavy , but seriously catchy grooves, a massive verse and chorus to sing to,and phenomenal guitar solos. Some Gojira sliding in the main riff too! Congrats again on yer channels success mate.

All great songs...thanks for sharing...checking in from Buffalo Ny..USA....

The next stop on your DT journey NEEDS to be 'The Dance of Eternity' from the album Metropolis, Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory. I think you will enjoy.

The Shattered Fortress uses many elements of Prison. Back to back its a great listen

YES DREW THIS SONG SLAPS. Try this dying soul next as well as The ministry of lost souls

I subscribed as you asked me to, so you better react to the whole 12 step suite now ;p

I think your Dream Theater taste and mine overlap perfectly. This is one of my favorite songs from them. The next step in the AA Suite is This Dying Soul and I’m willing to bet all of my DT cred that it will also blow you away. If you don’t want to get trapped in the suite just yet: Honor Thy Father The Dark Eternal Night Home All bangers. Though with Home, I’d probably just recommend doing that whole album at once, since it’s a compelling, story driven concept album. (Metropolis Part 2: Scenes from a Memory)

Please do Dream Theater: The Count of Tuscany, great story, great musicianship as always!
