Best Songs On Dream Theater's A Dramatic Turn of Events

The Top Ten
1 Breaking All Illusions

I thought I would never be able to pick up a favorite song from Dream Theater. But when I listened to this for the first time, I got so infatuated with it that I instantly made that choice. Still can't pick up a favorite album, though.

Balances contributions most evenly between all the members in addition to just being awesome. Great opening riff and fantastic development.

This song is the most melodic and progressive. I love the breaking part when rudess play the keyboard. And the 9' part is the best

Best John Petrucci solo. Only the Best of Times can even come close.

2 On the Backs of Angels

Petrucci intro is amazing and Rudess choirs in this entire album is beyond awesome!

The riffs and chorus rocks Jordan also did amazing at pianos

I really like this song but it should stand a little lower.

Amazing song, nice chorus.

3 Outcry

Outcry is my second favorite ADTOE song, after Breaking All Illusions. One thing I love about it is how it tells a story, and builds it up with seriously EPIC results. Very catchy chorus, great solos.

Within Temptation ripped this songs chorus off.

I REALLY REALLY like the lyrics. It's so inspirational, well written. Instrumentmal... WOAAAHww

4 Bridges in the Sky

Best one after On the Backs of Angels, The Chorus is so amazing and beautiful... Not to mention the wonderful playing from every member.

6 Build Me Up, Break Me Down

It's a song which has the melody, a good lyrics and good instrumental power! Woohoo, I replay it day after day

I like how they scream BUILD ME UP BREAK ME DOWN! And 7 srriously should be under outcry heck this is my second favorite. Dt album (images and words can't be beat) I'm glad I own this cd its ausome

7 This is the Life

Why is this so low? This song is filled with emotion and has a great guitar solo. I also would have rather has this as the album closer instead of beneath the surface.

JP can really make you feel things in this song... Most emotionally gripping DT song since Space-Dye Vest (except maybe the Best of Times)

It's a vocally strong song, but the instruments are also to die for.

This is a song that on dream theater can make, and its beautiful

8 Beneath the Surface

This is seriously the only song I get goosebumps of. Woah

Wonderful and emotional song

9 Far from Heaven

Beautiful, its just so emotional and so powerful without heaving heavy powers... you know what it izzz
