OK, maybe I don't get it because I don't live that period of music (I'm only 25), but I don't understand how is possible this sound (the sound this album have) have so much addicteds to.

Don't get me wrong, this is a really good album, really good, but the sounds here, I mean, guitar sound, bass sound, and specific drums sound and keyboard sound are really bad, like a cheap B production of the early 90's, don't stand the test of time for me.

'Pull Me Under', 'Under a Glass Moon' and 'Learning to Live' are great songs of the genre known as Prog Metal, if only this record was release some years later...

Yeah, probably would be a great topic :)

To some degree this album was retro even when it came out. But where grunge simplified while embracing crunchy guitars, Dream Theater made technicality and skill their centerpiece. Would be a good forum topic for discussion.
