Recom a niqqa some Dream Theater albums, pol! Listening to 'The Shattered Fortress' atm and...I have the urge to listen to their other stuff now. Was meaning to ages ago but...

That's the last song of the Twelve-Step Suite, isn't it? In that case I'd recommend listening to the rest of the suite:
The Glass Prison - from Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence. I like the songs on the first CD on the album, they're quite angsty. I like the second CD too, but I've only listened to the whole song once or twice.

This Dying Soul - from Train of Thought. Pretty much the whole album is quite heavy, you might like that. It was one of the first DT songs I listened to.

Root of All Evil - from Octavarium. I'd really recommend listening to the whole album in one go, I did that in the car a couple of weeks ago. Every song is in a different key (starting from F) and they added little effects for all the black notes between songs, a very nice touch. :3

Repentance - from Systematic Chaos. Sounds a lot like Opeth. I think Chris Jericho contributed to the vocals

See also: The Mirror, from Awake. Love that ****.

But since you asked for albums, I think I would start with Octavarium. It's recent enough to reflect the current sound, but almost as well thought-out as earlier albums, such as Metropolis Part II (I haven't listened to it all, but it's QUITE SIK).

Oh, you could always finish Black Clouds & Silver Linings. I don't really like that album though (apart from The Count of Tuscany , or A Nightmare to Remember), it's almost like they weren't trying.

Cheers, Salim.

Don't lie Anicha, our receptionist said you seemed to know all the words.
