Jordan Rudess' solo is one of his worst ever. On the other hand, Petrucci's solo kickass.

If I had to choose three things out of BC&SL those would be Queen's cover, The Best of Times guitar solo and this song's guitar solo. It's among Petrucci's most badass moments ever, this guy is always perfect!!!!

@shinji03 doesn't understand the idea of prog rock. This isn't a "tribute" to any other DT song, it's another part of the entire suite. I wouldn't be surprised that now that BC&SL is out, we'll get a compilation album of the entire suite together, perhaps with some extra stuff too =D
