Template:Album infobox Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory, released in 1999, is Dream Theater's fifth studio album. It is a concept album that deals with the story of Nicholas and the discovery of his past life, which involves love, murder and infidelity as Victoria Page.
As its name might imply, Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory is a sequel; it follows "Metropolis Pt. 1: The Miracle And The Sleeper", a song from the band's second album, Images and Words. However, when naming Metropolis Pt. 1 the band's intention was not to write a two part epic - it was intended as a joke. Only after continuous pleas from fans did the band begin working on "Part 2".
While on tour following the record's release, Dream Theater played the album live in its entirety. In 2000, the final show of the North American leg was recorded and released on DVD as Metropolis 2000: Scenes from New York on which the band members discuss the story of Scenes From A Memory.
