Dream Theater Full Score Anthology Reviews:
Full Score Anthology 
2005-10-12 - Every-one who says the Dream Theater Full Score Anthology is disappointing has to blame himself.
The Dream Theater Full Score Anthology gives everything that is described and is absolutely nót misleading.
A Full Score Book means that the scores of all instruments are within one book.
An Anthology means a selection of works or samples by one ore more writers.
All that is promised is within the book, and I am very pleased to have it.
Uneven... very uneven 
2004-03-18 - First of all, this book is done by several different transcribers and the difference in quality between the different contribution is enormous. Those done by progressivetranscriptions.com are amazingly well done, testament to the dedication and professionality of these guys. There is hardly a mistake to be found.
However, all the other tracks are another deal. The guitar transcriptions in them are from the official guitar books for their respective albums, which means their quality is good (John Petrucci reviewed these). The keyboard, bass and drums on the other hand seem to have been done by a person without experience or talent, or even both. They are embarassingly poor, and as a transcriber myself, I found it hard to read through the scores with these glaring mistakes present. Buy it for Dance of Eternity, Peruvian Skies, Just Let Me Breathe and Home if nothing else.
Very disappointing
2003-07-10 - Besides not having Learning to Live I have found numerous errors in this book. The drum interlude part in Under the Glass Moon is EMBARRASSINGLY wrong. And for something that was supposedly reviewed by the band, it's very disappointing. It's a good book, but there's lots of improvements to be made. Also I have more recently found that Erotomania is improperly done towards the end as well!
Why be misleading?
2003-01-02 - I only bought this book for "Learning to live" that was listed in the description of its contents. Unfortunately this song has never been part of the book! I discovered that absence after buying it. Despite the book's interesting content I am disappointed from this purchase (I would have rated the book with 5 stars, but 2 stars were removed because of the misleading description).
Are you kidding me? 
2002-11-21 - This is a joke, they include learning to live in the list of tune, yet pull me under is listed instead. List the most meat and potatoes tune they do over one of the most texturally interesting ones. Very professional goofing the listing. I agree with the notion that score books should be made for every album of Dream Theater. Especially when you have tunes like Metropolis part one, or Learning to live. Oh well, if you dig the tunes in it, otherwise, go ahead.
