[@andreaiachini7517]

I am surprised because in this video, they sort of apologize for making an album like Falling into Infinity. I don't know what they are talking about, because for sure that album is not the greatest album of the music history. For sure it is not the best Dream Theater album too. And it sounds also very different from the other albums. But in THAT album there are iconic DT songs like Lines in the sand, Hell's Kitchen, Trial of tears, Hollow Years, New Millenium, Peruvian Skies, Anna Lee, Burning my Souls! I mean maybe I named all the songs in the album LOL Yes the other 3-4 tracks that I have not named, are that kind of tracks that Portnoy is complaining about. That kind of songs written "to satisfy the industry". And honestly we all felt that at the time. But the other songs are LEGIT Dream Theater songs!! It was just a different Dream Theater album, but it was GREAT. In his own way. And I always liked that album from the first day. I never understood all the criticism about that album, still today, more than 20 years after it came out. Anyway we had almost another 20 years of Dream Theater after this anniversary! This is amazing!

[@KakoSales85]

Yeah, man. Got you definitely. I just love FII and I too don't understand why they created this obscure atmosphere around this album. FII has amazing (yeah, amazing) songs... Much better than some from later albuns. Still can't understand why they reject this album so much.

[@maciejkowalski2759]

@@KakoSales85 I think they are complaining not so much about the album itself but about the atmosphere that surrounded making of this album. And sure, while most of the songs that ended up on the album are quite good, there was a bunch of songs that they also recorded during that period but which DIDN'T end up on the album - like Raising the Knife, or Metropolis part 2. The songs had to be cut in favor of some shorter, more commercial songs. And while in the end its maybe better that the 25 minute version of Metropolis part 2 did not make it onto the album, as it made way for "Scenes from the Memory", at the time the band could have been really frustrated about not being allowed to release that song.

[@AnnWahlquist]

I can't believe how well mixed Images and Words is. Why can't they sound like that again!!

[@Enforcer0623]

+palonazo First of all, Images and Words is great... It's unique sound is bound together by their original keyboardist, Kevin Moore... Whom left the band while working on "Awake." It's the album that got us all hooked... BUT... It isn't every fans favorite anymore... Most albums post Falling into Infinity (Which still has some GREAT songs, most notably "Lines in the Sand" and John Myung's "Trial of Tears.") have been pretty fantastic... Especially Systematic Chaos (My favorite DT album to date) and Octavarium... Listen to them a little more carefully sir... You have to change things up sometimes to keep the peoples interest intact...

[@Nettacki]

+Eric E Gutierrez I'm surprised you consider Systematic Chaos your favorite DT album to date, because to me (and to many others), it's one of their weaker efforts. You could tell they were working on a schedule and not in a way that allowed their songwriting to be more organic like older releases.

[@palonazo]

In my opinion, the DT sound that got me hooked stopped to exist when Kevin Moore left. People complain about Mangini now... they have no idea how much more significant the change to Rudess was than the change to Mangini. Moore was magic, he was the melancholy in all those great Awake songs. But I guess it all depends on when you started following the band and if you're in for the music or just for the CALCULATORRRR METALLLL. I'm a 90s boy I guess.

[@Pulsed101]

+palonazo Their new album is pretty solid.

To see two of my favorite bands tour together, Dream Theater and Queensrÿche, was nothing short of amazing. The only thing that could have made it better would have been to see the 1988-1991 version of Queensrÿche.

They weren't the talent that labels wanted at the time. Think about it, labels back then were looking for a new Black Album, radiohits. Not progressive stuff.

[@robwalsh9843]

DT were essentially an 80's act that didn't break until the 90's. Even during the 80's it was hard to sell progressive metal that wasn't Queensryche to the record industry.

[@Blackphillipsupporter]

Unless you are on an independent label, it’s hard to maintain 100 percent creative control over your music. Most labels want 3 min radio hits, not 12 min epics that showcase actual talent.

Rush went through phases in their history. From their debut to Moving Pictures they were 70s prog rock, then in the 1980s they went through sort of a synthpop/new wave phase with Geddy Lee playing more keyboards. Presto to Clockwork Angels is more of the traditional prog.

Ironic how they use an Irish guy at the beginning, they haven't played there since 2001. I'd love to see them here in Ireland!
