I completely disagree with this. I don't think Dream Theater has done anything worthwhile since Train of Thought, and even that wasn't a great album. Their music has gotten so formulaic that it's actually painful to listen to. This song, which I heard on a sampler CD, is probably the worst Dream Theater song I've ever heard. It sounds like the same stuff they've been regurgitating up for the past 3 or 4 albums. And Rudess's solo just makes no sense in the context of the song. He throws 3 different kinds of crazy keyboard effects in there, as if to say he's bored with melody, and is switching to noise.
I'm saddened at how much Dream Theater has gone downhill. They used to be one of my favorite bands.
