Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory

David Bottrill also originally mixed Dream Theater's 1999 release Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory, but only four songs from his original mix made it onto the final album. The bulk was remixed by longtime Dream Theater mixer Kevin Shirley shortly before release when guitarist and co-producer John Petrucci called for a "heavier" mix for the guitars and subsequently a "larger" mix for the album entirely.^[3] Four songs mixed by Bottrill remained on the album only because Shirley couldn't remix the entire album due to a scheduling conflict. The rest of Bottrill's original mixes can be heard in Dream Theater's official bootleg release The Making of Scenes from a Memory.
