Nonagon infinity opens the door (This is a reference for a king gizzard album called Nonagon Infinity, an album who (the same as octavarium) loops into itself but literally every song is connected to each other)
@@haruntekbas2503 not only that, octavarium is a concept album based on the musical scale, which also loops itself The sequence of the notes in the album, based on the main keys of the songs, would be: F (The Root of all Evil), G (The answer lies within), A (These Walls), B (I walk beside you), C (panic attack), D (Never enough), E (Sacrificed sons) and F again (the octave, Octavarium), to then loop in the same key in Root of all Evil, as the musical scale
@@pauloviniciosappelt9789What’s even cooler though is that there are intermission tracks between a few of the songs. Where these fall, and their key, correspond to the incidentals on the keyboard as well. So between Root and Answer, as an example, there’s an incidental in F#.
The last lyric in the Razor's Edge part of Octavarium "This story ends where it began" references the intro to The Root Of All Evil hence the outro as well as Portnoy's decision to end that series of albums, and combining the intros to The Glass Prison and The Root Of All Evil to make the outro for The Shattered Fortress makes perfect sense as The Glass Prison was the start of the Twelve Step Suite, and The Root Of All Evil while it was the third song in the suite it was the opening track to Octavarium it makes sense as they were both known for opening their own suite each, I also just remembered the last 2 songs on Images And Words Wait For Sleep was a prelude to Learning To Live sharing melodies, similar thing done on A Dramatic Turn Of Events with the songs Far From Heaven and Breaking All Illusions
The demo and many live versions of A Change of Seasons end with a snippet of A Fortune in Lies, the first song on their first studio record. I always took this to mean the pain and trauma that Mike experienced and expressed in ACOS ultimately led him to Dream Theater.
I thought, the reference in the ending of The Shattered Fortress to The Root Of All Evil was limited to the drum rhythm, but as I've heard today in fact the whole intro lies hidden beneath the static, which makes it yet ANOTHER fit for this compilation... Dream Theater, Ladies and Gentlemen.
Glass prison, dying soul, ROAE, repentance, and shattered fortress are all parts of the 12step suite. They all have intentional motif reprises amongst them.
I haven’t made my way to _Dramatic Turn of Events_ yet, but you’re absolutely right. Never noticed the birds at the end of _The Count of Tuscany_ until now lol
@@ZaphiroAnejo It is. Because the meta album (the idea to link the end of an album with the beginning of the next one) was Portnoy's idea, and Octavarium was the last one.
I totally believed that the ending of The Shattered Fortress looped back to the beginning of The Glass Prison. I am extremely glad someone else also noticed it and that I wasn't going insane.
Connection between Mirror and Space Dye Vest. In Mirror, on the part "I'll bever hurt you again", the guitar part that follows it's equal to the piano part on the verse of Space Dye Vest, "Falling trough pages of Martens on angels...".
Another connection I just realised only sharing melodies though from Images And Word were Wait For Sleep as a prelude to Learning To Live, and on A Dramatic Turn Of Events the same structure was done with Far From Heaven to Breaking All Illusions
They do that a lot, have a short prelude before one of their 10m songs. Vacant is the most natural example but theres also Wait for Sleep, Far From Heaven, Hell's Kitchen and others
Also why is this video almost three and a half years old, yet the oldest comment was made three months ago... ? I smell "buried by the algorithm", folks.
So it seems upon reaching Octavrium you get trapped in it. And you get stuck in a loop of infinity basically falling into infinity. Now I see what Portnoy did there. Probably why he left originally he wan'ts to escape from the enemy inside.
On the other hand, the opening of In the Presence of Enemies Pt. 1 is so mindblowing and out of nowhere precisely because we had no idea what to expect with Systematic Chaos.
overture 1928 and strange deja vu strange deja vu and trough my words trough my words and fatal tragedy home and the dance of eternity the dance of eternity and one last time
I recorded some very amateur simple stuff in my bedroom and I have to confess I stole a lot of ideas from DT. Great thing none of the family and friends whom I gave my cds have ever heard of DT lol
I think I should make Part.2 or something
Yeah maybe, or just remake the video with the new albums

You should

If you listen closely, you can hear all these albums were recorded by the same band
Thank you for the insight, I never thought that I've missed such crucial detail.
What?? Naah man you're tripping
😮
Oh really
That just can't be trueee
The fact that Octavarium loops back into itself is amazing
The story ends where it begins, my friend.
There are lots of albums that do that, but it may fit Octavarium the best, given it's concept.
We move in circles...
Nonagon infinity opens the door
(This is a reference for a king gizzard album called Nonagon Infinity, an album who (the same as octavarium) loops into itself but literally every song is connected to each other)
That's why the song says "trapped inside this octavarium"
You just know every time they finish an album they look at each other an go, 'welp, at least we know how the next one starts!'
They always connect album to album song to song. It’s the story of Dream Theater itself
Octavarium ends it tho. It’s a loop instead of leading into the next album.
@@giygas9305 all stories must end
@@giygas9305 Because as you can see the album photo of Octavarium is a Newton's cradle. How it goes it comes back.

If you listen closely, you can barely hear James LaBrie rocking that tambourine on a 17/16 polyrhythm bar
This is why i liked DT every album is a masterpiece
I love Dream Theater so much. I’m so glad my friend introduced me to their music.

Man 😂 take a break ❤
You forgot Vacant & Stream of Consciousness

Dream Theater, Ladies and Gentlemen.
Also that rhythm in TROAE is in itself a reference to This Dying Soul. So the ending of The Shattered Fortress is a three-way reference.
Glass prison, dying soul, ROAE, repentance, and shattered fortress are all parts of the 12step suite. They all have intentional motif reprises amongst them.
i thought so for some time....till i hear with headphones and noticed the static sound....
The Glass Prison -> This Dying Soul

The ending of the "count of tuscany" to the start of "on the backs of angels" should be here.
That's just coincidence.

@@147pablox it's never a coincidence with these guys

@@147pablox but nothing stands against them having done it as well, Portnoy might've left but I dunno, maybe they liked the idea

It actually loops back to the beginning of TGP and The Root of All Evil at the same time!
Man, when i discovered this, my mind just explode.
When I discovered this, goosebumps! They're absolutely genius!!

Connection between Mirror and Space Dye Vest.
In Mirror, on the part "I'll bever hurt you again", the guitar part that follows it's equal to the piano part on the verse of Space Dye Vest, "Falling trough pages of Martens on angels...".
Another connection I just realised only sharing melodies though from Images And Word were Wait For Sleep as a prelude to Learning To Live, and on A Dramatic Turn Of Events the same structure was done with Far From Heaven to Breaking All Illusions
The Train of Thought connection blew my mind
I fucking love this band
The end of Black Clouds and silver linings connects with the first song in A dramatic turn of events
John Myung is speechless now
How genius they are👑
Scene Six: Home -> Metropolis Part 1 -> Scene Seven: The Dance of Eternity
Yeah XD
favorite of all time
But that's obvious dude, it's about Metropolis after all. No surprises there
The most artistic and beautiful band there is
This is a question that has been plaguing my mind for over a year and this is the exact answer I was looking for
Awesome video.
Also check out the ending of "The Count of Tuscany" and the intro to "On the backs of Angels"
Thats cool, thanks for making this video dude🔥🔥
The story ends where it began
Nice Reincarnation! Thx!
Dream Theater lore
Didn't know about the connection between the twelve step suit
I have also realized that at the end of the shatterred fortress there's also the beginning of the root of all evil hidden deep inside
It might just be me... but I swear the seagulls from the end of The Count of Tuscanny lead into the beginning of On the Backs of Angels
The video you always wanted!!!
The Mirror -> Lie
Vacant and Stream of Consciousness, on the album Train of Thought, also connect.
They do that a lot, have a short prelude before one of their 10m songs. Vacant is the most natural example but theres also Wait for Sleep, Far From Heaven, Hell's Kitchen and others
Mantab jiwa
Except for the fact the original ending of Octavarium ended with a flute and was leaked early
The root of all evil can barley be heard at the end of the shattered fortress
Excellent
This is awesome!!
Very helpful
I'm still waiting for what comes next after Octavarium, I've always talked about this with my friends
The ending of The Count Of Tuscany and the beginning of On The Backs Of Angels are quite similar too, though I'm not sure that was done on purpose.
This is why i love mike portnoy write the music!
I knew it 🔥🔥
The Count of Tuscany -> On the back of Angels
I wonder why they stopped doing this after octavarium
Portnoy wasn't a fan of always starting an album the way the last one ended, so they decided to tie it back with the loop of octavarium
Octavarium ending where it began was fitting for the themes of the album, as octavarium says "this story ends where it begins"
They kinda did it again though. With Count of Tuscany to Angels, and subverting the concept with Shattered Fortress to Root of all Evil.
The Count of Tuscany is connected with On The Backs of Angels
Also why is this video almost three and a half years old, yet the oldest comment was made three months ago... ? I smell "buried by the algorithm", folks.

Now I see what Portnoy did there. Probably why he left originally he wan'ts to escape from the enemy inside.
I'm interested the connection is accurate.
Why did they quit doing this?
and they just had to end it in Octavarium as a sign that they had to move to new music label to RoadRunner
On the other hand, the opening of In the Presence of Enemies Pt. 1 is so mindblowing and out of nowhere precisely because we had no idea what to expect with Systematic Chaos.
Portnoy is a genius

Dream Theater ends with Octavarium's last F note. It means "F-ck you all, we're gonna do what we wanna do from now on"
