muhteviyatındaki bütün şarkıları arka arkaya dinleyince yaklaşık bir saatinizi sömürüyor. the glass prison mükemmel bir açılış yapıyor, daha sonra this dying soul'la gazı iyice köklüyor, coştukça coşuyoruz. lakin bana kalırsa bu ilk 25 dakikanın ardından konsept düşüşe geçiyor, the root of all evil, octavarium içinde gayet güzel duran bir şarkı, bünyesinde this dying soul referansı falan da barındırıyor tabii, ancak ilk iki şarkıdan farklı bir havası, duruşu var. yine de hızlı, gaz bir eser olması onu bir nebze katlanılır kılıyor da repentance iyice gevşetiyor hadiseyi, bozuyor işleri. tek başına repentance da pek nadide bir parça ve fakat allahsal bir enerjiyle başlayıp dakikalarca o şekilde ilerleyen bir konsept içinde 11 dakikalık süresiyle fazla yavaşlatıyor gidişatı sanki. the shattered fortress ziyadesiyle eğlenceli, olabildiğince toparlıyor eldekileri işte, awake'ten fırlamış gibi duran müthiş bir petrucci solosu var sonlara doğru ve the glass prison'ın efsane introsuyla nihayete erdiriyor parçayı. muhtemelen grup bu seneki turun sonlarında bir yerlerde tüm suite'i çalacak, sonra da çıkaracakları konser dvd'sine koyacaklar falan, aynı terane... yalnız madem böyle bir şey yapılacak, umarım score kadar kaliteli olur kayıtlar; zira aksi takdirde bunca senenin emeğine yazık olacak. adam gibi geçişlerle şu beş şarkıyı birleştirip çalarlar ve sunabilirlerse, elimizde uzun yıllar dinleyeceğimiz 55 dakikalık, enfes bir parça olacak. hmm... becerirler ya, becerirler. bekliyoruz bakalım.~beş parçayı bir arada dinlerken the root of all evil'ın greatest hit and 21 other pretty cool songs'daki remastered versiyonunu şeyapmak daha iyi oluyor. akışa daha nefis oturuyor o şekil takılınca.

on iki adım programını açıklayan, konsept parçalar bütünüdür. parçaların tümü mike portnoy tarafından yazılmış ve beş albüme yayılmıştır. 15 yıl boyunca her gün alkol ve uyuşturucu tüketen portnoy, alkolle olan mücadelesini ilk olarak “awake” albümünün the mirror şarkısıyla bizlere yansıttı. uyuşmuş beden hayat standartlarını etkilemeye başlayınca portnoy şöyle bir düşündü, gözlerini hafif kısarak uzaklara doğru baktı. bu haliyle tam bir gerizekalı gibi duran portnoy’u dostları yalnız bırakmadı ve 2002 yılında “ya allah bismillah” konseptiyle bu meretten kurtulmanın ilk adımını attılar. 1."the glass prison" (six degrees of inner turbulence)ı. "reflection" ıı. "restoration" ııı. "revelation" camdan hapishanede yansıma, yenileme ve açığa vurma.twelve step suit’in en uzun parçasıdır. riffler çatırdama ile parçalanmayı biz aciz kullara anlatır. gizli gizli kulislerde konuşulanlardan anladığımız kadarıyla portnoy bu parçayı müzikalite olarak pantera ve megadeth’in buluşması olarak tanımlamaktadır. 2. "this dying soul" (train of thought)ıv. "reflections of reality (revisited)"v. "release" ölen ruhun gerçekliğinin yansımaları ve serbest bırakılması.şair burada "now it's time to stare the problem right between the eyes" sözüyle the mirror’a ("let's stare the problem right in the eye") selam çakmıştır. release bölümü the glass prison’ın restoration bölümü riffleriyle başlamaktadır.3. "the root of all evil" (octavarium)vı. "ready"vıı. "remove" kötülüğün altında yatan nedenleri kaldırmaya hazırlanmak.twelve step suit’in, ağır rifflerin progresif anlarla buluşturulduğu en kısa parçasıdır. 4. "repentance" (systematic chaos)vııı. "regret"ıx. "restitution" tövbe ve pişmanlığın zararını karşılama.portnoy’un yedi yıldır ayık kalmasını kutladığı parça. parçada özür kısmını dile getirerek katkı sağlayan dostları steve hogarth , steven wilson , jon anderson, steve vai, joe satriani, mikael akerfeldt, corey taylor, daniel gildenlöw, neal morse, david ellefson ve chris jericho’dur. davetine icabet etmeyen pis herifler ise; dave mustaine, geoff tate, bruce dickinson ve james hetfield’tır.5. "the shattered fortress" (black clouds & silver linings)x. "restraint"xı. "receive"xıı. "responsible" kırılmış kalenin sorumluluğunu almanın dizginlenmesi.portnoy’un konseptin büyük finali olarak gördüğü parçadır. bütün grup üyeleri toplanarak geçmiş dört parçadaki tüm müzikal ve sözel referansları bir araya getirmişlerdir. tüm konsept "ne yaparsak yapalım bağımlılıktan kurtulamayız ve tekrardan başladığımız yere döneriz." dercesine ilk adım olan the glass prison'ın başlangıç melodisiyle sona ermektedir.başyapıtın tamamı şuradan dinlenebilir
