Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory adalah album studio kelima band progressive metal Amerika Dream Theater yang dirilis pada tahun 1999. Album ini adalah album konsep yang bercerita tentang seorang pria bernama Nicholas dan pengungkapan kehidupan lampaunya, sebagai Victoria Page, yang melibatkan percintaan, pembunuhan, dan ketidaksetiaan. Album ini direkam di BearTracks Studios di New York, tempat band ini dulu merekam album kedua mereka Images and Words (1992) dan EP A Change of Seasons (1995).
Album ini merupakan sekuel dari lagu "Metropolis, Pt. 1: The Miracle and the Sleeper", yang merupakan bagian dari album Images and Words. Di sini juga album debut Jordan Rudess (keyboard), dan album terakhir John Myung sebagai penulis lirik (yang baru kembali menulis lirik lagi di album A Dramatic Turn of Events [2011]).
Pada akhir Juli 2012, album ini terdaftar di peringkat pertama "all-time progressive album" (album progresif sepanjang masa) oleh majalah Rolling Stone, mengalahkan album 2112 dari Rush dan Close to the Edge-nya Yes.
Ini ane terjemahin secara bebas dari Wikipedia, gan. Ini link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolis_Pt._2:_Scenes_from_a_Memory)-nya.
Jadi intinya album ini dibuat karena didesak fans yg maksa ke DT agar "Metropolis Pt. 1" dibuat lagu sekuelnya. (Padahal judul aslinya cuma "Metropolis", si Petrucci iseng nambahin 'Pt. 1'. Aslinya ga ada rencana bikin lagu lanjutan). Nah setelah didesak ya malah sekalian bikin album.
Nah abis deskripsi singkat albumnya sekarang masuk ke penjelasan masing-masing lagu. Oh iya, sebelum itu, karokean dulu nyok. Nih, update-an dari agan rakamaru:

1. "Regression"
Spoiler for Lirik:
"Close your eyes and begin to relax
Take a deep breath, and let it out slowly
Concentrate on your breathing
With each breath you become more relaxed
Imagine a brilliant white light above you, focusing on this light as it flows through your body
Allow yourself to drift off as you fall deeper and deeper into a more relaxed state of mind
Now as I count backward from ten to one, you will fill more peaceful, and calm
Ten... nine... eight... seven... six...
You will enter a safe place where nothing can harm you
Five... four... three... two...
If at any time you need to came back, all you must do is open your eyes. One."
Safe in the light that surrounds me
Free of the fear and the pain
My subconscious mind
Starts spinning through time
To rejoin the past once again
Nothing seems real
I'm starting to feel
Lost in the haze of a dream
And as I draw near
The scene becomes clear
Like watching my life on a screen
Hello Victoria so glad to see you
My friend
Salah satu review di sputnikmusic.com bilang kalo ini lagu pembuka yg cukup bagus. Pengiring vokalnya cuma gitar akustik; di bagian akhir ada nada "The Spirit Carries On", liriknya juga mirip. Di lagu ini, ceritanya Nicholas lagi ngejalanin hipnoterapi. Dia dihipnotis sampe akhirnya masuk ke keadaan trance, terus ngeliat seorang perempuan, yg namanya Victoria, dia langsung nyapa perempuan itu.
2. "Overture 1928"
Spoiler for Lirik:
[instrumental]
Ini lagu instrumental urutan pertama di album. Balik lagi ke sputnikmusic.com, lagu ini punya groove yg keren, sama permainan solo yg juga cukup keren, jika ga bisa dibilang luar biasa. Lagu ini ngambil banyak komposisi dari reff "Metropolis Pt. 1" (lagu ya, bukan album). Terus bagian-bagian lagu ini diambil buat ngisi beberapa bagian dari lagu "The Dance of Eternity", "Strange Deja Vu", "One Last Time", sama "The Dance Of Eternity", jadi rasanya lagu ini hampir selalu hadir di setiap lagu setelahnya, mirip ringkasan album lah.
Di lagu ini Nicholas mulai rileks dan fokus terhadap apa yg terjadi. Dia ngerasa Victoria mirip sama dia.
3. "Strange Deja Vu"
Spoiler for Lirik:
Subconscious strange sensation
Unconscious relaxation
What a pleasant nightmare
And I can't wait to get there again
Every time I close my eyes
There's another vivid surprise
Another whole life waiting
Chapters unfinished, fading
Closer now,
Slowly coming into view
I've arrived,
Blinding sunshine beaming through
There's a house I'm drawn into
Familiar settings, nothing new
There's a pathway leading there
With a haunting chill in the air
There's room at the top of the stairs
Every night I'm drawn up there
There's a girl in the mirror
Her face is getting clearer
Young child won't you tell me why I'm here?
In her eyes
I sense a story never told
Behind the disguise
There's something tearing
At her soul
Tonight I've been searching for it
A feeling that's deep inside m
Tonight I've been searching for
The one that nobody knows
Trying to break free
I just can't help myself
I'm feeling like I'm going out of my head
Tears my heart into two
I'm not the one the sleeper thought he knew
Back on my feet again
Eyes open to real world
Metropolis surrounds me
The mirror's shattered the girl
Why is this other life
Haunting me everyday
I'd break through the other side
If only I'd find the way
Something's awfully familiar
The feeling's so hard to shake
Could I have lived in that other world
It's a link that I'm destined to make
I'm still searching but I don't know what for
The missing key to unlock my mind's door
Today I am searching for it
A feeling that won't go away
Today I am searching for it
The only one I know
Trying to break free
I just can't help myself
I'm feeling like I'm going out of my head
Tears my soul into two
I'm not the one I thought I always knew
I just can't help myself
I'm feeling like I'm going out of my head
Uncanny, strange Deja Vu
But I don't mind
I hope to find the truth
Lagu ini agak sedikit ngepop dibanding lagu DT yg lain. Ceritanya si Nicholas nemu jalan setapak ke sebuah rumah. Pas masuk dia ngeliat di cermin kamar ada seorang gadis yg dia ngerasa pernah ketemu. Karena ini mimpi dari hipnoterapi, pengelihatannya lebih jelas. Setelah mendekat, Nicholas nanya, "Mbak, tau gak kenapa saya bisa di mari?" Nicholas berasumsi kalo ada sesuatu yg pengen disampein gadis itu, sesuatu yg penting. Victoria ngejawab kalo dia lagi cari siapa yg ngebunuh dia. Setelah itu, Nicholas bangun. Biarpun udah bangun, dia masih kebayang-bayang sama mimpinya. Akhirnya dia mutusin buat cari tau apa yg terjadi.
4.. "Through My Words"
Spoiler for Lirik:
All your eyes have ever seen
All you've ever heard
Is etched upon my memory
I spoken through my words
All that I take with me
Is all you've left behind
We're sharing one eternity
Living in two minds
Linked by an endless thread
Impossible to break
Lagu ini dimulai dari permainan piano solo, terus tiba-tiba langsung ke musik keras. Lagunya juga groovy dan permainan solonya luar biasa. Di sini Nicholas mulai sadar kalo Victoria itu masa lalunya, itu kenapa dia ngerasa familiar banget.
5. "Fatal Tragedy"
Spoiler for Lirik:
Alone at night
I feel so strange
I need to find
All the answers to my dreams
When I sleep at night
I hear the cries
What does this mean?
I shut the door and traveled to another home
I met an older man, he seemed to be alone
I felt that I could trust him
He talked to me that night;
"Lad did you know a girl was murdered here?"
"This fatal tragedy was talked about for years"
Victoria's gone forever
Only memories remain
She passed away
She was so young
Without love
Without truth
There can be no turning back
Without faith
Without hope
There can be no peace of mind
As the night went on
I started to find my way
I learned about a tragedy
A mystery still today
I tried to get more answers
But he said, "You're on your own."
Then he turned away and left me
As I stand there all alone
He said, "You'll know the truth
As you future days unfold"
Without love
Without truth
There can be no turning back
Without faith
Without hope
There can be no peace of mind
"Now it is time to see how you died.
Remember that death is not the end but only a transition."
Musiknya mirip sama lagu yg di atas. Nicholas lagi sendirian. Dia bingung kenapa kayaknya arwah Victoria masih penasaran. Suatu ketika, dia ngunjungin seorang sepuh. Dia diceritain kalo dulu ada gadis yg dibunuh (yg ternyata itu Victoria). Nicholas akhirnya tau apa yg terjadi, terus tambah penasaran kenapa terjadi pembunuhan. Nicholas balik lagi ke tempat hipnoterapis, terus pikirannya melayang ke tempat dan waktu terjadinya pembunuhan.
Lanjut di bawah, gan. :D</div></div></div>
