Friggin' Magnificient!
Wow! Dream Theater has made a gold record. 'Systematic Chaos' kicks off with an aggressive track playing like a hymn as you battle the very ideals that you stood for. As time progresses, a melodious dirge reaches into the folds of heart and rips your soul out as you hold your hands to the sky and scream into nothingness. Here's a little taste from the song, 'Forsaken'...
For a while I thought I fell asleep
Lying motionless inside a dream
Then rising suddenly
I felt a chilling breath upon me
She softly whispered in my ear
(Forsaken)
Forsaken
I have come for you tonight
Awaken
Look in my eyes and take my hand
Give yourself up to me
I waited faithfully
For night to fall again
Trying to silence the fear within me
Out of the night and mist
I felt a stinging kiss
And saw a crimson sting on her lips
I have to know your name
My dear why don't you be afraid
Forsaken
I have come for you tonight
Awaken
Look in my eyes and take my hand
Give yourself up to me
Take me far away
Close your eyes
And hold your breath
'Til the ends of the earth
Forsaken
I have come for you tonight
Awaken
Look in my eyes and take my hand
Forsaken
Fly away with me tonight
Awaken
Renew my life
Now you are mine
Give yourself up to me
Lying motionless inside a dream
Then rising suddenly
I felt a chilling breath upon me
She softly whispered in my ear
(Forsaken)
Forsaken
I have come for you tonight
Awaken
Look in my eyes and take my hand
Give yourself up to me
I waited faithfully
For night to fall again
Trying to silence the fear within me
Out of the night and mist
I felt a stinging kiss
And saw a crimson sting on her lips
I have to know your name
My dear why don't you be afraid
Forsaken
I have come for you tonight
Awaken
Look in my eyes and take my hand
Give yourself up to me
Take me far away
Close your eyes
And hold your breath
'Til the ends of the earth
Forsaken
I have come for you tonight
Awaken
Look in my eyes and take my hand
Forsaken
Fly away with me tonight
Awaken
Renew my life
Now you are mine
Give yourself up to me
Buy it! Strongly Recommended!!

Gautum bro,
Firstly awesome blog! Pick up DT's Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence (6DIT), its awesome too, grows majorly with every listen.
Trivia from Wiki: According to Mike Portnoy, the main influences for the 6DIT's writing and recording were Metallica's Master of Puppets, Tool's Ænima, Radiohead's The Bends (and also a Radiohead bootleg Mike brought in), Pantera's Far Beyond Driven, Megadeth's Rust in Peace, U2's Achtung Baby, Nine Inch Nails' The Downward Spiral, Soundgarden's Superunknown, Alice in Chains' Dirt, Kevin Gilbert's Thud, King's X's Faith Hope Love and Galactic Cowboys' Space in Your Face (the previous two were used only for John Myung's 8-string bass), a Béla Bartók CD, Rage Against the Machine's The Battle of Los Angeles and Maria Tipo's Chopin Nocturnes (the last three brought in by John Petrucci).
All super potent influences reverberate on 6DIT :)
