Album Review
Dream Theater's first album with new vocalist James LaBrie is an excellent mix of progressive metal stylings with heartfelt vocals and thought-provoking lyrics. Guitarist John Petrucci, bassist John Myung, and drummer Mike Portnoy, all of whom trained at Berklee, show impressive ability on their respective instruments. Kevin Moore's keyboards weave strongly through the intricately constructed songs, while operatically trained LaBrie shows an impressive range with his tenor. Standout tracks include the complex "Metropolis, Pt. 1," the Shakespeare-influenced "Pull Me Under" (also released as a single and video), the dramatic "Take the Time," and the 11-minute, thoughtful "Learning to Live." Dream Theater's musicianship and songwriting are a cut above the norm; this is a very good disc.
Customer Reviews
At last!!!
It seems like iTunes is getting a lot more Dream Theater. Heh, fine by me! Words can't even do this album justice, but I'll try. PMU - DT's first (and last!) real mainstream hit. Moderately heavy, and very catchy. 5/5 Another Day - Beautiful song about cancer. Great solo from JP, JLB's vocals absolutely soar on this track. 4/5 Take the Time - Heavy song, but with a few softer bits here and there. Great unison work between Kevin Moore and JP. However, this song has possibly the worst music video, they had to completely mutilate the song to shorten it, and IMO it ruins the video. 4.5/5 Surrounded - Another beautiful, softer song. Catchy, especially the "Light to dark, dark to light..." part. Awesome vocals, and Petrucci has an awesome delay-ridden lick near the end. 4.5/5 Metropolis Pt. 1 - This is probably DT's defining song, and I was heartbroken to see it left off of Greatest Hit. Just listen to it! 5/5 Under A Glass Moon - Epic. Very, very proggy. JLB hits a high G in the chorus section, which is just sweet. Of course, JP has just a RIPPING solo on this track. Check it out. 5/5 Wait For Sleep - Very soft, piano driven track. It's mainly used as an intro into Learning to Live. 4/5 LtL - THIS is the magnum opus of the album. At 11:30, it was DT's longest track at the time. (Besides ACOS, which was still in the works.) Many things to mention about this song, but I'm running out of words, so I'll just leave you with this: James' F# is on this song. BUY THIS ALBUM! If you're looking for a place to start with DT, this is it. If you've never even heard of DT until this point, buy the album anyway.
about time
About time itunes got this album, its one of the highlights of the bands career. The best tracks on this album are easily Pull Me under, Under a Glass Moon (first DT song i ever learned on drums), Take the Time and Surrounded. Overall, there isnt a bad track here. Get the whoe album, you dont want to miss out on Learning to Live.
What a classic
It's about time iTunes got this album up. This is the definitive Dream Theater album in m opinion. This one is where they formulated their sound core; the later albums they pushed themselves to new areas musically. If you like good musicianship, beautiful vocals, excellant songwriting, or any of Dream Theater's stuff then this is a must buy.
