Black Clouds and Silver Linings

I was just listening Dream Theatre's newest album -- Black Clouds and Silver Linings -- on YouTube, and all I can say is wow. Next time I'm in FYE, I'm going to have to pick up the special edition, even if it is $30. So far, my favorite tracks are "Nightmare to Remember", "Shattered Fortress", and "Count of Tuscany". All of these tracks are around 15 minutes, and absolutely amazing. Nightmare to Remember has a great tone, especially the part where he's in the hospital (I think that's what it's supposed to be). Shattered Fortress is great, especially when they play parts from other songs of the... 12 step suite? Can't remember the name. Either way, I love the part when they play that bit from "Root of All Evil". The tone is changed though, so it has an incredible nostalgic feel to it, like a flashback. Also, Count of Tuscany is a great song all around.


Thoughts on this? General discussion of Dream Theater is OK if it will help the flow of the thread, but for the most part, I wanted to discuss songs on this album.
