=== "Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence" (2002-2003) === The band followed up this massive effort with another massive effort, their sixth album, "[[Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence (album)|Six Degrees of Inner Turublence]]. Having creative freedom from their label and proving that their albums were financially viable without interference, the band got permission from the label (now known as Elektra) to do a double album, though it was originally not conceived to be one, and Portnoy was prepared (though reluctant) to cut the songs "[[Misunderstood]]" and "[[Disappear]]" from the album. The album is mostly known for its title track, [[Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence (song)|Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence]] A 42 minute epic that remains to this day to be the band's longest track, with the second CD of the album being entirely dedicated to the one song, though it was released as 8 separate tracks, so fans could potentially skip to sections they wanted to hear. The song initially was going to be around 20 minutes long, but in writing ballooned up and necessitated a double album. The album was fairly successful, getting a higher profile release than the previous two albums and charting fairly well, being the band's best selling album since Images and Words. Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence also marks the first time since the band's debut that no single was released, though several songs received radio edits. The tour following the album also proved to be a success with the band now regularly doing three-hour shows as well as incorporating covers of entire albums into certain shows, and doing a co-headlining tour with [[w:c:metal:Queensr每che|Queensr每che]], somewhat of a dream tour for many fans, though experiences on this tour and after have led to bad blood between Portnoy and Geoff Tate of Queensr每che, and it is unlikely they will ever tour again, save for one planned show in Washington DC in 2009. Dream Theater were also featured on the DVD version of Queensr每che's The Art of Live, playing two cover songs with Queensr每che: "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd and "Won't Get Fooled Again" by The Who.
