I've just recently started listening to Dream Theater. My friend actually bought me the album "Images and Words", and the first time I heard it, I actually didn't like it. It wasn't until my third listen that I started enjoying what I was hearing. Now I'm considering buying another one of their albums, but I'll need to do a little more researching before if it's worth it.

It's the exact same thing as cadenzas in classical music, it's meant to be a show off of the performers technical abilities.

Yes, technical abilities are very important in any performance, but I think emotion is also a very important part of the performance as well. Without emotion, the music just feels cold and uninvolving, but that might just be me.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
