A masterpiece of ProgRock.

From: Daniel Meneses	Date: April 16, 2001 at 11:08
One of the most important albums of the 90's. It set the standards of progressive metal and influenciated many bands in this kind of music. Brilliantly played and a stuning album. A most have for hard 'n' heavy lovers.

From: Derek	Date: April 27, 2001 at 20:23
Nice work, but over-rated for the most part. Talented musicians for sure, but way too much money was spent to make them sound better than they are.

From: MetalHead Mark	Date: April 27, 2001 at 20:54
I don't agree that it's overproduced. I think it was done just right! These guys aren't gods but they got lots of talent and this one is above average.

Very Good musicians make reborn prog rock! Imagine a misc of Rush, Kansas and all the other "monsters" of old prog-rock with the strenght and young brilliantness of more recent hard rock. That' s it. Sometimes much too technical and fragmented but... Excellent. Perhaps one of the best albums I ever heard.

What can I say? An amazing album all over, there is not one bad song on this one. The mix of different styles on this album is incredible. You have trash\metal riffs, to more classical prog riffs ala. Rush and Kansas. If you dont allready own this album, get it!!! I guarante it will you give you a hard on that will stick for days!

From: Rycheage	Date: September 3, 2001 at 18:10

Hi from Spain! I bought this CD without knowing what i was going to hear and the first time i listened to it i thought: "what the heck is this?" I didn't like it at all (too long songs, not catchy). However i gave them a second and a third chance and my opinion began to change...the more i listen to Images and Words the more i like!!!! Strange but true!!! Now i only have two words to describe thia album: A MATERPIECE!!! If you want to say you like good music then this album is a MUST!!! Cheerio!

I bought this CD after seeing the video 'Pull Me Under' for the first time in quite a long time. I always loved that song so I decided to go out and get the CD. It is quite an orginal format, but none of the tracks had the same feel as 'Pull Me Under'. I thought I was listening to Kenny G on the second track. I am not knocking the album nor am I saying it isn't a musical originality. I'm just saying that if you loved 'Pull Me Under', you might be disappointed in the rest of the CD. Not really so

From: imanothere	Date: April 22, 2002 at 9:32
cont. from above....Not really so much as a str8 out rocker but more of a musical potpourri with a splash of metal. It kind of reminds me of an "experimental" Styx album.

From: Javi	Date: May 16, 2002 at 9:25
Hi from spain too! Por que no hablais español los españoles? Solo decir que este disco es cojonudo, aunque el grupo en si me parece una aglomeración de grandes musicos, pero que no transmiten, es musica muy perfecionista pero sin feeling.

From: Andre

This is the where a perfect production meets great musicians,without changing the music,duo to commercial success.Metallica meets Marillion meets Yes meets Queensryche!Progressive masterpiece!Great Guitars,awsome keybords create heavenly melodies.Myung is a bass wizard,Portnoy,ah,this guy is a freak on drums.Might have 8 arms!LaBrie sings like an angel in anger.Songs break from caotic rythms to the most beautiful,plain melody.Grace under pressure!!!New bands should not try to copy them!

From: jason	Date: June 1, 2002 at 14:50
This is the only Dream Theater that I own. These guys are something els. People compare them to Queensryche, only not so political (thank God). I think that Dream Theater is more like RUSH. The musicianship here is outstanding. They are not one of my favorite bands but their talent can't be questioned. They are the RUSH of the 90's and beyond........

From: SrFloppy5	Date: June 11, 2002 at 11:38
No os entiendo. Es una mierda de disco. Sólo mola la balada, aunque es popera 100%, pero es buena. Progresiva no tiene q sognificar depresivo. Queréis progresivo (q no tiene pq ser lo mejor ni los más talentosos)?Escuchad Angra o Andromeda, o Arena

I found this for 99 cents. This is the first time I've heard Dream Theater. Muy buen disco!

From: purrfect-kat	Date: June 26, 2003 at 8:58
I bought this cd because of the good reviews and I must say that I was disppointed with it. The band plays good but the songs are nothing to write home to mom about.

From: freddy de keyze

Date: June 26, 2003 at 9:04

You're talking about a milestone in music history here, dear purrfect-kat ! Maybe you're disappointed because you don't like prog metal. This is masterpiece and the quote 'the band plays good' is the understatement of the year ! These guys are all professional musicians, right out of the academy, and they play well. Let's be honest : there are bands I like more than Dream Theater, but as musicians they have no competition from any band (what kind of genre they play) on this planet ! Superior !

From: Decibel Dave	Date: June 27, 2003 at 12:23
I have to say that for the most part, I agree with purrfect-kat. Though the album has some good moments, I have to wonder what the fuss is. The songwriting seems to me to be only average. Granted it is unique and all, but that doesn't mean it's great. I like what I've heard from Lana Lane, for example, much better. I will give it a few more listens - maybe one of these times I'll finally "get it"

From: Decibel Dave	Date: June 27, 2003 at 12:26
I guess I have a different opinion than some people though, let me be clear - to me, the song is the important thing. Granted, a great song will be even greater if played by great musicians than mediocre ones. But I'd *much* rather hear a great song played by average musicians, than an average song played by great musicians. Images and Words would be a great example the latter category for me.

From: purrfect-kat	Date: June 30, 2003 at 12:29
Well said Dave . . I feel the same way about it

From: Blue Charvel	Date: June 30, 2003 at 12:49
The song is the important thing no doubt. But I think everyone's idea of the perfect song is probably not the same. I think this disc is extremely well written and they most certainly toot my horn, but if I'm in the mood for catchy, hook-driven tuneage, this is about the last band I would listen to. These guys are all about subtlety and dynamics with a good measure of complexity and technical proficiency thrown in. If you don't like prog-rock, chances are you will not like this either.

From: blueblood

Date: September 3, 2003 at 11:43

este disco es una puta maravilla. la calidad q rebosan los musicos junto con algunas composiciones largas y abundantes en talento hacen de este cd una pieza indispensable, si te gusta el rock progresivo, es imperdonable q no lo hallas escuxado. por cierto satriani, de verdad crees que angra son españoles??? ademas, no deberias infravalorar los grupos q han salido de españa, mira a sangre azul, te pueden gustar o no, pero no e oido a nadie q diga q sean malos, ni en españa, ni fuera, porke pegaro

From: Jimbo

Date: November 22, 2003 at 1:15

It's going to be hard to follow Rhoma's insightful comments above... but here goes. This album is maddening to me because it is technically superior to much of the "artistic metal" that came out around the same time, but the songs are still more like aggressively constructed background music (Petrucci's solos excluded). If you like this kind of prog rock, check out the band "Fayrewether" and their 1989 release "Power Play". Lastly, what is a dangdut and how does one become its king?

From: gubi	Date: December 8, 2003 at 15:10
One of the best albums of all times. They have put rock where noone has ever done, and will ever do. Who knows?... There are no words to describe what ears and soul can feel: you should be a Goethe or something to do it

From: Bill

Under A Glass Moon is one of the finest achievements in lyrics and music, IN ALL OF HISTORY. Every time I hear it I'm taken somewhere else, it's unbelievable. The whole album is truly worthy of endless accolades, but Learning To Live springs to mind immediately. Again musically it travels where few bands dare to explore, and again the lyrics make me wish John Myungs was still weilding the pen in Drea Theater. An absolute must have...

From: mauricio	Date: February 6, 2004 at 10:44

From: allen	Date: March 18, 2004 at 16:14
I will agree that these guys will never be confused with Bob Dylan in the songwriting department, but this album remains a classic! Prog is a wholly different animal; not everyone gets it. If everyone did, their CDs would consistantly make the top 10. The new CD,"Train of Thought", is also incredible. One of prog's most talented bands.

Their songs are too long...I could never get into any songs except "Pull Me Under", which I first thought was Helloween when I first heard only a snippit of the song. Maybe I should give this one another try?..

From: TIM (2)	Date: June 3, 2004 at 12:35
I'm not a prog fan, and this isn't really my thing, but I have to say that "Another Day" is one the greatest AOR tunes ever. The solo is magnificent, and for me this song alone is worth the price of this disc.

From: Kim Jackie	Date: June 8, 2004 at 18:13
What can I say. I always liked the Prog music and this guys are the grandparentrs of progressive metal. Noone is as good and technical comparable with Dream Theater.

this album is the best prog rock will ever see. however, the singer doesnt seem like he should be in this band. I could picture LaBrie as the singer for journey or something lighter like that. an example that would be a good match for this band would be someone that sounds like layne staley, yknow? someone thats a little darker, lyrically and performance wise. but other then that this cd is amazing. PETRUCCI IS GOD

From: holyroller	Date: July 13, 2004 at 9:31

Simplemente una obra de arte, tiene absolutamente TODO lo que uno quiere escuchar, encima de ser la mejor banda del MUNDO, estan quiza los mejores temas de toda su carrera.

SUPER-RECOMENDADISIMO, si queres escuchar melodias, canciones y ejecuciones instrumentales demoledoras, no lo dudes. Amplio en su contenido, puede llegar a gustar a todos los estilos del metal(aor, hard, etc), pero por supuesto, del verdadero metal. No more words, enjoy!!!!!!!!!

From: Geoff

Date: March 5, 2005 at 18:38

After hearing Winter Rose and loving James Labrie's voice, I thought- even though I hate prog with a passion- I might be able to enjoy this. Well, I can honestly appreciate the musical genius and song-writing prowess, but I just can't get into this kind of stuff. The sound is too hard to enjoy because if you find a section, or melody or moment you like it can be there for the tiniest moment before it's ripped away and the song takes a completely different direction. Simply said, I don't get prog

This entire album is a classic, all the way through, some great slower tunes that are extremely beautiful amidst some of the best songs ever released by a band, hmmm, wonder if I like Dream Theater??? hahaha Thee top metal prog release ever!!!!!

Uno de los pocos discos que calificaría de casi perfecto y eso que no soy muy partidario de poner un 10 en una calificación. Cuando uno lo escucha siempre se puede descubrir algo nuevo. Escuche Vanden Plas y me parece el grupo más parecidos a ellos. Ojala vuelvan a un sonido parecido en su próximo disco pronto a salir

From: SOC2004

Date: June 2, 2005 at 18:28

One to many ballads. Good songs on here like Learning to Live, Metropolis, and Pull Me Under. Pull is the only really heavy song here. Otherwise its a mixture of uptempo rockers like Under A Glass Moon. But the ballads, Surrounded and Another Day sound really out of place. They should have edited these songs and put A Change of Seasons on here in its original form. That was the original plan anyway.

uno de los mejores discos de progresivo desde close to the edge y aqualung

From: PODEROSO YIRO

Date: December 9, 2006 at 19:13

El disco que encendió la llama de lo que posteriormente se denominaría como metal progresivo (bueno, o prog rock o neo prog, como gusten, pues), el caso es que lo que tenemos delante son 8 temas que practicamente llegan a la perfección, en cuanto a ejecución y composición. Si bien, quizás adolezca un poquito de gancho en algunas canciones, me parece que esto no les resta en lo mas minimo a cada uno de los temas, que brillan por si solos y son todos excelentes. Es este un disco para escuchar...

From: PODEROSO YIRO

Date: December 9, 2006 at 19:18

detenidamente y para ser degustado totalmente, es decir, los temas no necesitan de coros pegajosos, de ningun modo, he aqui mi analisis... "Pull Me Under", es la mejor para iniciar el disco, con fuertes infuencias de metállica y Yes. "Another Day" nos deja apantallados, al ser un bellisima balada que en ningun momento llega a ser empalagosa, la voz de James LaBrie nos muestra un registro muy amplio y aparte tenemos aquí la intervensión de un sax soprano. "Take the time" despliega la coordinación

que posee la banda muy influenciados aqui por Kansas, Rush y toda la vieja escuela del progresivo. "Surrounded" es fantastica. "Metropolis" es uno de sus mejores temas con asombrosos cambios de ritmo y todalidades, lo que se repite en la dinámica "Under a Glass Moon". "Wait For Sleep" es una autentica belleza y el broche de oro es "Learning To Live" con multiples etapas en su composición y donde encuentro tambien ciertas reminiscencias a Queensryche. Es este un album perfecto y lo que estaban...

apuntando ciertos colegas, que apareción justamente en el periodo de las "glorias" de Nirvana y sus secuaces, lo que lo hace mas significativo en cuanto a la trascendencia que ha tenido este disco hasta la fecha, que, sin necesidad de un aparato publicitario como el que si tenían Nirvana, Soungarden y otros, pues consiguieron que su musica fuera conocida, de boca en boca, al no contar con publicidad y contar solamente con el respaldo de su material musical... Maravilloso Disco, sin ninguna duda!

Prog.Rock? si y este superDisco es su estandarte de todos los tiempos. Es indudable que "Another Day" es una maravilla de canción o la mas "AOR" o las tranquilas "Sorrounded" "Wait For Sleep" pero todo el disco es CASI perfecto IMO. Una mezcla de estilos si se podría catalogarlo al album, me recuerda a muchos grupos tanto de metal como de rock. Dificil de igualar en cuanto a discos de Prog. Rock. 9.5/10

Los Dream son los actuales reyes indiscutibles del genero Prog-Metal (sin ofender a fanaticos el cantante Labrie para mi esta pasable nomas) si hay opiniones sobre que otras bandas superan notoriamente a D.T. haganlo saber...

James LaBrie no es pues tampoco un excelso cantante pero está más que aceptable de cara al disco. Ahora en cuanto a discos que superen a este deben ser poquísimos pues éste es el mejor disco de DT pero eso ya es criterio personal aunque los grupos inventores del Prog.Rock que antecedieron a DT se deben llevar todos los créditos, y este album hizo que este estilo resurga con mucha más fuerza. Vaya no soy un ducho tampoco en esto, mejor espero más comentarios de otros colegas. Saludos Carlos!.

Great of course, dentro del Metal progresivo y el Rock Progresivo en general uno de los mejores discos sin duda, ahora la situacion del Rock progresivo personalmente no es un estilo que me agrade tanto como los otros estilos AOR Rock Melodico o Hard Rock porque simplemente esos 3 en estilo nivel y gusto son insuperables y mezclar el Rock con sonido sinfonico y experimentar otros sonidos que no son de "CALIDAD Y ESTILO A1" bajan ese nivel asi que lo dire el Rock Progresivo es bueno pèro no es...

... Grande simple como eso, esa etiqueta es para los otros 3 mencionados, buen estilo Gran album de lo mejor dentro de esta onda pero que no se puede comparar a otros Grandes albums de otros Grandes estilos de Rock asi de simple 9/10 cualquier refute escriban pero si lo haces de mala leche te pulverizo con hechos.

La primera vez que escuche este album quede en shock!!!.Grande,grandisimo en todo los aspectos(composicion,arreglos,liricas...)sin duda alguna una de las obras maestras en su genero mezclando la fuerza del metal("pull me Under")y la sutileza ("Another day")una combinacion sin precedentes.Vinieron a mi pais (Venezuela) en la gira del Octavarium y fue alucinante ver a estos "musicazos" en vivo.el disco?...10/10 y se queda corto!!!.

Excelente el comentario Rick.. Lo que encanta del disco, personalmente, aparte del aspecto de composición,arreglos, etc.. es sin duda la mezcla del prog. con el metal, un estilo que me encanta y que ningún grupo de prog. que antecedía a este album lo había hecho (que yo haya escuchado), y no solo de metal sino de rock y demás. Sin duda una joyaza de disco y un 10/10 para los amantes del Prog., un estilo que me agrada pero que no es mi fuerte. Saludos. 9.5/10

Amigo Juan Carlos, difiero contigo: James LaBrie SI es un excelso cantante. Mira las notas que es capaz de alcanzar en este disco, la forma en que su voz rompe, el poderoso vibrato y la suavidad con que es capaz de interpretar temas suaves como "Another Day"... pedazo de cantante James LaBrie!!!!

The production is huge and the songs are magnificent! When i bought this in 1992 this was a total blast and it still is among the best. David Prater´s gotta be one of the greatest producers of all time (check out also 2 Firehouse albums s/t & Hold your fire produced by the man). I´m sad that Kevin Moore left out ´cause he really was a keyboard wizard! DT has done some good & bad albums after this but Images and words is still their finest hour! 100/100.

To this day I belive this album is one of the best prog albums out there. A beautiful mix of synth and guitars and soaring vocals. I did find some of their later stuff a bit out there but this album and the previous ones really shine. 86/100

Is John Petrucci related to Roxy Petrucci of Vixen?

After that they have begun making crap, more or less.

when I heard that one of my friends listens to them and taht they are playing progressive rock/metal, I said well that's just too complicated for me and at that time I was totaly into hair, pop and glam metal.but after several years later I decided to listen to this album and whooo, I was amazed. these guys are really really taleneted and they aded here the heaviness and great keyboard driven melodies. my faves: pull me under, another day, take the time, under a glass moon and metropolis.

Alright now here it comes my comment in English...for me,IMHO,this album is the band's best effort ever,period!..."Pull Me Under" is the best cut in here and that's it..."Another Day"(beautiful),"Take The Time","Surrounded" & "Wait For Sleep"(nice) are also very catching moments of the record...an almost to perfection release...95/100
