DREAM THEATER - Systematic Chaos (2007)

2008-06-04 10:47:02 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
What a welcome return to form compared to the somewhat weak Octavarium ( weak compared to other Dream Theater releases, but better than most other progressive metal releases). Systematic Chaos is the ninth studio album from Dream Theater. I had almost given up on them after Octavarium but with more focus on power and memorable melodies...

Systematic Chaos indeed: when innovation makes old fans confused, brings annoying new fanboys/girls and create a great return album for the most representative progressive metal band Systematic Chaos, here is a particularly strange album for Dream Theater: this is the album where James LaBrie's voice finally goes back to the tracks after being...

This album is not worthless or terrible, but if you look at the history of Dream Theater, it is both predictable and unfortunate There's not even anything particularly wrong with this album. The songs are all entertaining. The guitars go fast like their supposed to. The keyboards are still some of the wildest since Emerson, Lake & Palmer. The...

DREAM THEATER - Images And Words (1992)

2008-02-08 20:30:12 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
This is Dream Theater's debut album. No, not their very first record ever released, but certainly the one that got them recognized by the general pubkic. The first single of the album, ''Pull Me Under'', became a huge success literaly overnight, and the five young men were launched into heavy touring, numerous record sales, and the first group...

DREAM THEATER - When Dream And Day Unite (1989)

2008-05-27 22:54:27 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
When Dream and Day Unite: an album difficult to swallow, but not as bad as it looks like Debut albums are always eccentric and primitive(almost always), and When Dream and Day Unite is no exception. What we have here is a totally different manifestation than what Dream Theater is widely known for. I say this because the band does not yet have...

This album is not remotely perfect, but it's one of the most lasting releases the band has done, to my ears I've been a fan off and on (mostly on, really) of Dream Theater for plenty of years, so it was interesting to see what albums of theirs rated on this site. A few of them were where I would have put them. Awake and Scenes from a Memory are...

DREAM THEATER - When Dream And Day Reunite DVD [Official Bootleg] (2004) [rated 4/5 by Gatot]

2007-12-30 23:11:48 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
 
I purchased this DVD long time ago when I watched Dream Theater live in concert in Singapore, January 2006, but I did not have a chance to write a review about this. Its basically the one and only live performance of Dream Theaters debut album When Dream and Day Unite performed in its entirety in Los Angeles on March 6th 2004 to commemorate 15th...

Dream Theaters first live album Live at the Marquee is a good introduction to early Dream Theater. At the time of the release in 1993 I was a big fan of Dream Theater. Images and Words was one of my favorite albums that year so I was happy to learn that Dream Theater had made a live album The songs are played to perfection as weve come to expect...

This is definitely Dream Theater's weakest album, but then, it's not really unfair to realize that most bands' debuts are pretty weak With When Dream and Day Unite, we are graced with a band that really wants to be a modern version of Rush. Certainly, other bands' styles are notable here, but it seems to me on listening to this album that the...
