Advantages: Excellent performance, outstanding songwriting

Disadvantages: None

That's very simple and clear possibly the greatest record of progressive metal and the record which brought progressive music in the 90's back from the dead... The Berklee collage graduates succeeded in making a record that combines heavy, double bass - heavy metal riffing, fusion rythyms, technical extremities , eloquent piano parts and soulful singing into completed and balanced songs. That wasn't a novelty by itself, but the way in which Dream Theater did it, a band in which the only thing that comes above their individual musical geniuses is their own alien communication, like one was actually made for another. Do yourself and buy one of the greatest masterpieces or rock music in general.

Summary: A huge milestone in progressive music and the best Dream Theater album still.
