曲目介绍 之后会翻译部分
"The Glass Prison" contains the first three parts of the Suite ("Reflection", "Restoration" and "Revelation"). It is the first track on Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence. Rich Wilson (author of Dream Theater's official biography, Lifting Shadows) describes the track as "a clattering mass of riffs and shredding that finds Dream Theater at their most grinding".[9] The weekend before entering the studio to start work on Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence, John Petrucci and Portnoy saw Pantera perform at the Hammerstein Ballroom, New York City. This provided a great influence on the band when they started writing. Portnoy described the track as musically "this total Pantera-meets-Megadeth, relentless ball of energy".[10]
[edit] This Dying Soul
"This Dying Soul" features parts four and five of the Suite ("Reflections of Reality (Revisited)" and "Release"). It is the second track on Train of Thought. Wilson describes the track as a lyrical and musical continuation of "The Glass Prison".[11]
[edit] The Root Of All Evil
"The Root Of All Evil" consists of parts six and seven of the Suite ("Ready" and "Remove"). It is the opening track on Octavarium. Wilson considers it to be "an archetypal Dream Theater track, tidily mixing heavy riffs with some progressive moments."[12]
[edit] Repentance
"Repentance" features parts eight and nine of the Suite ("Regret" and "Restitution"). It is the fifth track on Systematic Chaos. By this stage Portnoy had been sober for seven years.[3] Portnoy stated that it was intentionally conceived as "a bit more of a breather", as the previous songs in the Suite had been "so aggressive and bombastic".[3] He said that of all the tracks on Systematic Chaos, he was particularly proud of "Repentance" because it was "a moody, dark song, hypnotic, psychedelic... something that we’ve never done before".[13] He described "Restitution" as having a "spacey, Pink Floyd feel".[3] James LaBrie considered the challenge of "being able to really convey that message, but with the proper character"[13] on "Repentance" to be the hardest part of his performance on Systematic Chaos. "I wanted it to come off sounding very somber, very serious, very... not cold, but a somber approach, you know", he said.[13]
Portnoy described the ninth part of the Suite, "Restitution", as being "all about making amends to people you've harmed".[3] When writing it, he did not want to write about his own personal life as it would have made the song "too specific"[3] to himself, wanting to make the lyrics more general.[3] He instead asked friends of the band to contribute spoken word apologies. Steve Hogarth, Steven Wilson, Jon Anderson, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Mikael Åkerfeldt, Corey Taylor, Daniel Gildenlöw, Neal Morse, David Ellefson and Chris Jericho all contributed apologies which featured in the final track. Portnoy was disappointed that Dave Mustaine, Geoff Tate, Bruce Dickinson and James Hetfield declined his invitation, but was pleased with the final list of contributors.
"The Shattered Fortress" concludes the Suite, featuring the last three parts ("Restraint", "Receive", "Responsible"). It is the fourth track on Black Clouds & Silver Linings. Portnoy considers the track as the "grand finale"[5] of the Suite, and "knew it would really be made up of all the musical and lyrical references from the past, and bring them all together to wrap it all up".[5] Before starting to write the track, the band listened to all four of the previous tracks in the Suite, making notes on the progressions of the parts and the melodies they wanted to reprise.
