I saw Dream Theater in Paris in 2000, The Spirit Carries On tour. The greatest of progressive rock. Images and Words (1992) and Awake (1994) are the two best progressive metal albums of all time Gorgeous Space-Dye Vest !

I found I&W when this album was out and then my life changed. More than 20 liveshow in front of stage, a cover band of DT for years and suddenly in the Charlie Dominici's band opening for DT shows in Chaos in motion world Tour. Thanks guys. Americo

30 years later, this album sounds as fresh as it did back in 1994. "Images and Words" was my introduction to this band, but "Awake" was the one that made me a fan since late 1994. I remember buying this album on CD along with Pantera's "Far Beyond Driven," Soundgarden's "Superunknown" and Nine Inch Nails' "The Downward Spiral." Without a doubt a great year for music.

@@ronny-2112 Yep I'm just stating my own thesis. I also don't try to worship bands, in fact I don't hold Metropolis in the mythic regard that many do. Awake on the other hand blows me away, and I like it way better than stuff such as Superuknown which I consider just decent with a few great songs I them

Of all the great and immense Dream Theater discography, this is the greatest masterpiece (they have several) that the band has made, to date!! It was also the album with which I met the best band in the Universe and surrounding areas, and the first one I had (and I have all their albums...). Perfection, virtuosity, inspiration, metal, passion...in short: DREAM THEATER!!!!
@ItsNotaTuhmahАй бұрын
I agree. This is their most consistent album. Silent Man aside, all the tracks go from good to great. I&W is not this consistent, tho, but it has 2 tracks that are better than any other DT song made: Metropolis and Learning to Live.

Kevin Moore has an amazing life story, musician, producer, writer, lyricist, and now a psychologist, also made movie sound tracks in Turkish movies and play atmospheric music as well. DT is a fine hard rock prog band and Portnoy as self taught is quite good on the pads, as for the rest of the gang what can u say, brilliant musicians.

I think you are wrong my friend... Portnoy was in Beckley Music college, where he met Petrucci and Myung... The three original founding members of Majesty/Dream Theater... Mike isn't self taught...

30 years? Never. Saw their performance at the Docks in Hamburg, with Fates Warning as opener. Like yesterday. Mirror and Lie are such closely-related back-to-back tracks. "I spent so long trusting in you, I trust you forgot - just when I thought I believed in you" - "and you tell me 'trust me', I can trust you -as far as I can throw you". Great lyrics, with Nov 5 coming on (and I will not say whom I wouldn't trust :-))

Favorite song on this album is this first song 6:00. I respect all that Jordan Rudess has contributed on keys and Mike Mangini has contributed on drums. But THIS is the band that a fell in love with. Something about the feel of all songs after this album just doesn’t have the same ‘hungry to prove thing’ they had from their EP to this album. Just an opinion and I’ve made it clear that I respect the others who have or are still in this band.

The best tracks off the album are Lie and Scarred, all the rest are filler, Dream Theater had only one masterpiece in all their career, it's Words And Images, they made some decent albums but nothing even come close to that one, the idea of making long albums with long songs and long instrumental solos already failed in the late seventies with the prog rock bands, why bands insist to reinvent the wheel? i really don't know, thanks for sharing.
