I can't really agree with you. It's good, true, but the band showed they could write even better songs later... and thankfully without Charlie Dominici!

Very good album, and as Kalisia have shown, decent production really brings out how awesome the songwriting really is. But I do like the nostalgic feeling the bad production gives me...
"Light Fuse And Get Away" is still one of my favorite songs to this day.

Fact is, the production doesn't disturbs me in any way. It's old and has its flaws, but WTF?
And my fav song on this is The Killing Hand. First of their epics, and still one of the best.

Wondeful album. "The Killing Hand" and "The Ones Who Help To Set The Sun" are still two of my favourite Dream Theater songs.

That's a nice album, indeed! I like it a lot! Sounds like real 80's, not end 80's, but middle 80's, with a raspy sound, but it's nice!

I love this early sound of Dream Theater. They really manage to mix in so great melodies in their complex music. So much better than their later material.

Definitely underrated. I'd take this over anything they've done since Six Degrees.

Very underrated debut. Dominici did a great job here. The Killing Hand and Ytse Jam can be considered as DT classics.

They are. I wish they played The Killing Hand live though. It almost never (if ever) happens.

I am not the one who said that. When Petrucci or Portnoy said Dominici's vocals didn't fit in actually it's only their excuse to get rid of him. For me, Kevin LaBrie and Dominici are within the same vocal range.

I klnew there was soemthing wrong with your first post. Only just now did it dawn on me... Dominici's follow-up is James LaBrie and not Kevin LaBrie

A lot of bands have humble beginnings, and Dream Theater is most definitely one of them. "When Dream and Day unite" isn't actually a bad album though, and it's only when you compare it to the likes of "Images and Words" that it seems weak. The only real problem I have with DT's debut is the vocals, which are nowhere near as strong as the musicianship taking place in songs as great as 'The Ones who help to set the Sun', and the instrumental 'The Ytse Jam' deserves its place amongst the best songs of DT's career. A slow start for sure, but one that didn't come without its golden moments.

Seriously, the quote chain is an eyesore. It doesn't take much to delete half a dozen lines of text/code before posting.

Excellent album! A great starting point for this band, with very nice tunes (A Fortune In Lies, Only A Matter of Time, The Killing Hand)
