Added DiffLines:

* BrokenBase: "Home" is a fantastic EpicRocking song... with an instrumental break partway in that contains the sounds of orgasmic moaning. Some fans appreciate its relevance to the plot, as it represents Victoria having an affair with Edward in order to cope with Julian's neglect. Others think that it ruins the song by making it incredibly awkward to listen to when others are around.

Magnum Opus is for in-universe examples only.


* SacredCow: ''Scenes from a Memory'' is generally considered Music/DreamTheater's MagnumOpus, with some going so far as to call it the greatest ProgressiveMetal album of all time, and a portion of the band's fandom doesn't take kindly to those who disrespect it.

* NightmareFuel: Many SpokenWord parts may come across as this. There is the [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar sexual grunting]] that can be heard at the start of the instrumental portion of "Home", the killing scene in "Finally Free", and don't even get us started on the LastNoteNightmare at the end of the album.

* TearJerker: There are several very powerful ones in this album including "Through Her Eyes", "The Spirit Carries On" (which doubles as a HeartwarmingMoment), and "Finally Free" (especially the part before Nicholas' last lines)

** "The Dance of Eternity" also deserves mention as a perennial contender for the crown of Dream Theater's best instrumental.

** It gest worse. The cycle completely ignores the relationships of those involved within, and doesn't dive into the repercussions of what it causes on both sides of the story: It's said in "Through Her Eyes" that [[spoiler:Nicholas had a wife and a son, both now bereaved because of that stupid cycle of life, death and revival. Likewise, because it ends before the crime, no mention is made of whether or not the Hypnotherapist was arrested later on (considering the investigation methods have changed quite a lot since Edward's murder, which sparks a tiny bit of light in this otherwise grim story) or killed himself as well.]]

* HarsherInHindsight: The TV news Nicholas hears near the end of "Finally Free". It speaks of a horrible tragedy, horrible enough to be reported all around the world. The size of the tragedy brings to mind September 11th, 2001.
