252 - Dream Theater A Change of Seasons 1995

This song is a medley is made up by multiple parts all beautifully intertwined with each other. After the acoustic intro there are a couple of heavier riffs accompanied by nice keyboards, pianos and overall futuristic sounds. At certain point there are tempo changes that keeps the song very interesting. James LaBrie's vocals fit very well with the music. He can sound very peaceful and calm as well as irritated and furious. The whole song continues in this style, calm and fast parts, heavy and harmonic guitars, fantastic drumming and keyboards that sometimes are in the background and at other times the main instrument. This is probably one of the best progressive metal pieces ever composed, you can listen to a part on this recording.
