Song of the Week VI

Prog metal gets another entry this week, with Dream Theater's Finally Free. It's the closer track for Metropolis 2: Scenes from a Memory, and what a closer it is. I really doubt whether the song would have anywhere near the same power if it was isolated from the rest of the album. It's like, the whole album builds to this song - this is the climax, the resolution. I've read reviews of the album which say it lacks that killer track, one which defines the album, but to me Finally Free does exactly that.
