Post Description

Metropolis, Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory is the fifth studio album by American progressive metal band Dream Theater, released in 1999. It is a concept album that deals with the story of a man named Nicholas and the discovery of his past life, which involves love, murder, and infidelity as Victoria Page. It was recorded at BearTracks Studios in New York, where the band had previously recorded their second album Images and Words and the EP A Change Of Seasons.

The album is the sequel to "Metropolis, Pt. I: The Miracle and the Sleeper", a song previously featured on Images and Words. Critical reaction to the album was extremely favorable, and it is widely considered Dream Theater's greatest achievement, showcasing their complexity in musical structure and lyricism, and the ability to write aggressive and melodic songs, similar to their third studio album Awake. It reached #73 on the Billboard 200 album chart. It was also the first album to feature Jordan Rudess on keyboards, and is currently the last album for which John Myung has written lyrics for a song.
