Man, I just love James voice so much on Awake. It saddens me to know that this was probably his peak, and even though Scenes From a Memory is my favorite DT album, Awake is, for me, their strongest and the one I find myself going back to over and over.

[@timp.9582]

I listen to this album at least once a year the last 20yrs. Before that it was all the time😂. Best DT album for me. JL's best performance.

[@lantusinfluencer]

After listening all albums there is no doubt James vocal was the best in Awake... amazing.

[@rk-gy6nb]

100% agree

[@carlosorellana_1986]

After this album he had the food poisoning that broke his voice forever.

[@bril36]

Images and words and Awake are the best Dream Theater's cds to the date

[@DavelyDriven]

Dead on there....these two were my hayday at least lol

With how many people would disagree with you, I'd suggest you don't state that as a fact.

[@electric10101]

Agreed. Kevin Moore is an important part of the equation for me.

This is the real Dream Theater - Rock, heavy, progressive.

But this feels kinda straight forward and not sooooo proggy/stitched together.

2024 and this is still THE hardest album in music history for me Thank you Dream Theater for over 40 years of pure, magical music!

This is GREAT. Had no idea there was a video for this Dream Theater gem. James hits this one out of the park.

[@Tomfoolery1972]

Images and Words and Awake get the most play out of my DT collection.

[@ellpoyohlokoh]

Six Degrees disk one is my favorite dream theater moment, but they have gems through the entire discog, Nightmare to Remember is unbelievably good despite being much later.

[@pocenha]

BADASS SONG!!!! That is one of the best La Bries performances

[@bonholio0o]

@The Cat is... 1995, Awake is their most darkest album. James sounds better singing dark lyric than happy tunes

3:19 - omfg...traffic blocked...some sort of serious stuff must have happened right away...accident? gas leak? Oh no...just a prog metal band filming their music video...good!

Came to make a comment about that too. There no special effects there. Just a band blocking one of Manhattan's tunnels for a video. I wonder how difficult it was to negotiate that.

"Lie" Daybreak at the bottom of lake it's a hundred degrees I can't breathe And I won't get out 'til I figure it out Though I'm weak like I can't believe So you tell me 'trust me' l can trust you Just let me show you But I gotta work it out in a shadow of doubt 'cause I don't know if I know you Doing fine but don't waste my time Tell me what it is you want to say You sin, you win, just let me in - hurry I've been out in the rain all day So you tell me 'trust me' I can trust you as far as I can throw you And I'm trying to get out of a shadow of doubt 'cause I don't know if I know you Don't tell me you wanted me Don't tell me you thought of me I won't, I swear I won't (Did) I'll try, I swear I'll try (Lie) Mother Mary quite contrary Kiss the boys and make them wary Things are getting just a little bit scary It's a wonder I can still breathe Never been much of a doubting Thomas but nothing breaks like a broken promise You tell me 'bout your two more coming but once is just enough for me I had gotten used to being a soul destroyed She comes in apparently to fill the void All dogs need a leash and at least I'll forget it And she would never hurt me though she's never said it But I'm not gonna ask her today I don't wanna scare her away Your town, I'm all alone and I just can't stare at the phone I wanna talk about lifelong mistakes and you can tell your stepfather I said so

[@Virvum_Juggernaut]

Portnoy is a phenomenal drummer. I remember when I first heard his drumming with DT in 1998 on MTV watching their music video for “LIE” and at the time thinking just how beautiful his kit sounded.

[@johnross4605]

I'm glad I heard that again. That was awsome. Big fan at 60. Makes me wanna do stuff my kids wouldn't do . ..hold it now, wait a minute. Just let me catch my breath.

Happy "420" 55th birthday Michael Stephen Portnoy 04/20/67. His dad was a radio DJ and that gave him access to huge amounts of LP's. He developed a preference for Rush, Queen, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Iron Maiden, and the Beatles. Self taught on drums. Son Max plays drums too.

Is that album you're referring to the concept album about a guy and a ghost and had Metropolis Pt2 when Metropolis Pt1 wasn't really about anything so just felt as if it was tacked on for the sake of attempting to ride on the fumes of the leftover legacy of Images and Words?

@@feralkitty9378 Concept albums about unsolved murders and ghost guides aren't my cup of tea. If DT really did up their game with that album then they presumably couldn't keep it up as their other albums since don't seem to get many people gushing about them and everything I have heard from them since seems to be a bit bland. Images and Words still sounds as brilliant though as it did when released.

30 years next year - time flies! Calling at Michelle each day to see if it has arrived (this is an old- school record shop in the centre of Hamburg STILL GOING). The songs are still great, and the production is so incredibly crisp. And the quota of cheesy songs is MUCH lower than on later albums - I'm thinking of "Anna Lee", and similar - masterpieces.
