This is it! My first Dream Theater review! I can say that this progressive band from New York is my favorite band and will still be in ten years from now. So, back in 1992, the band released their masterpiece "Images And Words" and after that nothing was going to be the same again in the musical world. Why? Well, because this album brought something totally new to the scene, this famous progressive metal sound that would become Dream Theater's signature and it would make them famous for being one of the most influential bands ever.

  I like this album a lot.

Rating: 10 This album revolutionized my perception of music. This album forever changed my music library. This album is a front-to-back album - every riff, every drum beat, every note...nothing is off; nothing needs to be changed (even the heavy, wet snare... *cough* Mike!).

Enough cannot be said of this masterpiece.

  Best DT album. One of the greatest albums ever recorded. Sadly not all DT's albums are even close to this...

Perfect album, my favorite of DT. I love all the tracks especially Metropolis Pt. 1.


are you forget "another day" song ?

Rating: 10 Yeah, this album is something spectacular to say the least. Even the shorter, slower-paced ballads, which some may find to be so-called 'filler' material, have their own significance here. I can't really say anything else about 'Images and Words', other than the fact that it deserves to be hailed as a genre-leading album.

Rating: 10 This album has been the precursor of progressive metal and it opened a certain way to progressive style with amazing song and melody. Who don't state this or do not understand anything or speak out of envy.

  The horribly weak vocals, much like in Nevermore's case, are the downfall of this band.
Strawberry - 09.11.2012 at 15:19  
  The good lyrics make up for the not so good vocals.
One of the best albums I've ever listened to

  Simply perfect! The first DT album i´ve listened to and its still unbelievely good.
