'Metropolis, Pt. 2: Scenes From a Memory' is a progressive metal concept album built upon a cinematic narrative exploring past-life regression, infidelity, and a murder mystery. The album functions as a full-length sequel to the 1992 song "Metropolis—Part I" and is distinguished by its intricate musicianship, the introduction of keyboardist Jordan Rudess, and the use of recurring musical and lyrical motifs to unify its story.
