Never a band to do things by halves, Dream Theater here delivers a two-disc extravaganza with a title track that clocks in at a prog-tastic 42 minutes. Very much in the style of its 1999 studio predecessor, Scenes from a Memory, the "Six Degrees" piece, which occupies the entire second disc, is divided into eight movements beginning, of course, with the overture. It's meaty stuff, though musically it alternately noodles and thrashes about in a somewhat haphazard manner while singer-lyricist James LaBrie's struggles to make an impression over the stunning instrumental onslaught. The first disc serves up five pieces averaging about 10 minutes each that hearken back to the grungier sound of 1994's Awake. The result is an album that fulfills fans' expectations. These guys have found a formula and they're sticking to it. --Mark Walker

This album is pretty good. The first disc starts off with one of my favorite Dream Theater songs (The Glass Prison) and goes through some other good songs, but the whole first disc seems very unfocused and slightly disappointing. The second disc REALLY shines though. It's meant to be played as one song, and as a single song it's great. Lots of good lyrics, instrumental parts, and singing on the second cd.
First album: 3/5
Pro's:
First Track
Third Track
Fifth Track
Cons:
unfocused
slightly underwhelming
doesn't quite "quench my thirst" if you get what i mean by that.
seems very filler-like to me
Second disc: 5/5
pros:
the song is great
the writing and instruments are great
cons:
it's divided into separate tracks, so some people listen to disc 2 as individual songs, which ruins the effect
If you're new to dream theater, i suggest you start with Images & Words, Systematic Chaos, or Octavarium. Otherwise, grab this album. Worth it for the first track and the second disc. 4/5

A double album that someone should have picked through for good songs and made one album from. For me Dream Theater are completely hit and miss. This is a terrible miss. Its still got a few good moments. My problem with Dream Theater is that I wish they were instrumental. Their song writing is mediocre at best and I really don't care for most of mister LeBrie's vocals. Of course, prog rock is full of people who can't quite sing good enough for the rest of the music.
In this case, the whole second CD album is so cheesy it sucks. The first CD is ok, but tries to be more than bad prog-metal and fails. Sometimes they try to be Tool. Sometimes they try to be someone else. Dream Theater should try to be themselves more. Its at those moments such, as in Metropolis, that they really shine and the reason I will always give them a listen when they make something new.
 Disc 2 is great, Disc 1 not so much October 13, 2009

I give this album four stars for Disc 2 and two stars for Disc 1. Disc 2 has that progressive flow that DT is so well known for. There is an overall theme of different personality types and how they interrelated and the theme works pretty good overall. It doesn't work as well as Scenes from a Memory, but it is still pretty cohesive. The playing is impressive without being over indulgent, which can be a DT weakness from time to time. The songs are melodic and well written.
On the other hand, Disc 1 is a throw away (in my opinion). The only one I will listen to is Disc 2, as Disc 1 is unlistenable. The songs are overlong and not intersting. Also overly heavy. Obviously, I realize DT is a metal progressive band, but the songs remind me of songs from Train of Thought, which I listened to twice and then shelved. I might have enjoyed the metal side more in high school, but I must've gotten my dose of metal, b/c heavy DT is too much for my tastes nowadays! Enjoy this album as it is their last good album (i.e. disc 2) in my humbe opinion. Cheers!

I just realize it takes me almost 7 years to make a review about this phenomenal album by Dream Theater, and it wasn't because I didn't want to but I just feel this albums Six Degrees was one step behind other DT albums (except Falling into infinity which is my least favorite), but even though I always liked this album I never felt its greatness until this weekend when I took my Ipod an decide to listen the Portnoy's saga in its entirety, starting with The Glass Prison and concluding with The Shattered Fortress (included on DT's new album Black Clouds & Silver Linings) and man something really grabs me there and I am not going to get immerse on describing all these five songs that compose the saga and how incredible it is to listen all of them continuously (it will be great to have a live set of this 5 songs¡¡¡ hopefully soon DT will give us this chance)
The thing was that this weekend I just loved the sound of The Glass Prison I think it is a perfect song to start Portnoy's saga, so once I finished this idea I decide to give a new try to the hole 1st cd and maybe thats were the problem was because I always thought that the 1st CD wasn't as good as the 2nd therefore I always listen only to this one, so this time I did the opposite and man I still don't know what happen but I just loved, really loved this 1st CD and now I must say that I was so wrong considering Six Degrees an album not as great as Scenes, Images, ToT or Systematic indeed it is an excellent album just in the same category of all DT albums (again with the exception of Falling into infinity which even though I really like it I still believe there is something missing)
So Six Degrees is an outstanding album not as heavy as ToT but very close in some parts¡¡ this album as always with Dream Theater has everything you want, heaviness, dark passages, excellent riffs, sad and slow moments, epic and very prog moments. It is simply a perfect blend of what DT is about and that is the only reason you need to go and buy this album and if you already got it then plug your headphones and enjoy it again.
At this very moment I must say that the five songs on the 1st CD are fantastic but if I must pick then I would say that my favorites will be The Great Debate, The Glass Prison, Misunderstood & Disappear (a song that has all the emotion you require for a very sad and lonely moment, incredible to listen all by yourself), which are slightly ahead to Blind Faith (a song that sometimes I really loved and sometimes not that much)
The 2nd CD (8 "short" songs that totally length over 40 minutes) is simply mind blowing whether you listen to it on its entirety or only a few songs it is just perfect¡¡ what a masterpiece they create here, the Finale is amazing and in concert this part just gives me the Goosebumps...
It is incredible to listen how diverse DT can be not just from one album to the other but in the same album, now I understand the title of this album its just the perfect turbulence you want to feel when you listen a DT album.
So now 7 years from its release I am so thrilled as if this album has just been released today, I have discovered a lot of new things in this album and it really worth the time to really understand the album, the songs are great, the mix, the production everything is amazing, and again the band sound so tight so perfect¡¡, and the best part is that this songs sound even better LIVE¡¡
DT is the best band in the world and for me the best Band that ever existed... by FAR¡¡¡
Uhm, why do I need a title for a review? May 24, 2009

One of Dream Theater's best albums, rivaling Scenes from a Memory in my opinion. There's something for nearly everyone in hear, ranging from fans of Dream Theater's heavy metal side to fans of their progressive side and fans of their softer emotional work. Must buy, for 1st time DT listeners to hardcore fans (like myself =D)
