[edit] Covers and Tributes
Dream Theater have often placed riffs or parts of other band's songs into their songs when playing live. On this album, there are several examples of this.
- Before the beginning of "Trial of Tears", John Petrucci plays the famous five tone motif from the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
- The opening of "Trial of Tears" also contains portions of the Rush songs "Xanadu" and "The Trees".
- "Peruvian Skies" contains portions of Pink Floyd's Have a Cigar and Metallica's Enter Sandman.
- The end of Take the Time contains the outro solo from Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Freebird" and the guitar riff from Led Zeppelin's "Moby Dick".
- John Petrucci's guitar solo is almost entirely comprised of Liquid Tension Experiment's "Acid Rain" and parts of "Paradigm Shift". It also contains a portion of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's Flight of the Bumblebee
- The segue from "Just Let Me Breathe" into "Voices" features John Petrucci playing the first half of the Force Theme from "Star Wars".
