A Nightmare to Remember (2:14)
234,885 plays (36,870 listeners)
The first track on Dream Theater’s 2009 album Black Clouds & Silver Linings.
The lyrics, written by guitarist Petrucci, feature a play by play experience of a car crash.
Musically this song has several movements and features a heavily gothic style which is new to the band. It also contains the first recorded blast beats by Mike Portnoy.

So much potential wasted with this track. It had some great moments, but ultimately, falls short for me.

The greatest DT Album-opener in my opinion, though Mikael Akerfeldt can do the "growling" part better than Portnoy i think: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4St7Sr8ZliI :>

"The intro sounds like fucking black metal, this is one of the best songs on the album." More Death Metal-ish I'd say.
