    Falling Into Infinity is actually my favorite DT album because it's runs the gamut, This is the last song on it and so darn good... It's exceptionally great live as it always was especially on the tour in '97.

    Hi Guys, I have not heard this before. Absolutely love this !!! It's been a while since I listened to a track on here and went to buy it straight away .. but I just bought the album !!! I can't wait to play this again through my hi fi. The Rush vibes were brilliant and that mid section solo is wonderful. I rarely buy an album for 1 track, but this I know will be worth it, especially if the rest of the album is this good and I suspect it is. Thankyou for playing this, damn that was good !!! Byeee Jim X

      @@rudolfbecker4313 Rudi !!!!!! I am well thankyou. I did reply to you not too long ago on another post but don't know if you saw it. Yes, Happy New Year to you my friend. The album arrived today. I was looking at the track listing. Loads of tracks and a few epics on there including track 1. I want to hear this last track again first that's on here. It is just brilliant. Then I will play the whole album. I will certainly let you know what I think, but it seems like a forgone conclusion, as this is so different, and if like what I've already heard ..then this is going to be a belter !! Cheers Rudi , lovely to hear from you again. Take care. Jim 😀👍

    Saw DT open for Yes in September of 2004 at the Allentown in Pennsylvania. I'm at best a casual fan of DT. James singing voice is fine when he actually sings. Unfortunately he yells a lot which I find irritating. Have to agree with Alexia. However on this song, he definitely sounds good!
    Here was the set list from the night I saw them open for YES during Yes' 35th Anniversary Tour and they did this song!!!!👍

    Hoping that all is well and that Lex's getting over her cold and she is feeling much better now!! I'm doing well and hoped that you both have seen my welcome back comment on that Walter Becker reaction page that I had sent on Monday night? Hey Nick, My first time that I was aware of this Dream Theater track that Lex had reacted to and thanks again, Nick, So, It was a part of a 21min 5 song eepic mini medley called Schmedley Wilcox and it was taken from their Chaos In Motion 2007-2008 DVD during their Systematic Chaos Tour where they took 5 epic long songs from 4 of their albums to make an amazing mini medley that's "So Good" that you both need to please react to it sooner rather then later and you won't regret it either and thanks in advance!! Sending you all love & prayers for good health & happiness!! Can't wait to hear from you soon!!
    Thanks & Keep Rockin'!!,
    Walter - 🤘❤🙏🤘

    I love the full album, but must admit that I prefer the demo version of the album which is a double instead of a single disc. The production on the demos isn't as clean, but the additional songs and differences in the existing songs make up for a muddier sound.

  • @philipcroaton2072

    Till this day I think that Pertucci's solo on ToT is the best he ever wrote or played live. I like FII but i dont think it's DT's best album. It's different and it's good.
    But man... that F solo...

    • @JoshStobart
      @JoshStobart 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes! It's the best solo by a mile. If someone asked me what my favourite solo was it would be between this and Guthrie Govan on Drive Home. Both are less focused on being impressive and more about the feeling of the moment.

    Love the álbum. Trial of tears is probably the best, but everything is so musical. To be honest, I dont like the arrangments on Take Away My Pain, especially the drums. The acustic version we saw on tour was way better. I like all the songs, it is a very underated album

    I'm surprised at her loving Rush but disliking DT... GL's voice vs JL voice both great and different voices . GL voice is great but not as clean and clear as JL voice... DT heavily influenced by Rush and you can seriously hear it in some songs, yet she don't like DT or its voice . Im just confused. Its kinda like saying I love Brian Johnson voice but can't stand Jeoff tates voice. I guess to each their own.

      @clhallos 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@Newworldman66 I guess you missed my point. I may have explained my comparison wrong. Getti lee has a high and odd voice but it sounds like rush ,no other voice would work. Getti's voice is high to but it's a well known fact that people hated his voice when it first came out. I also stated like what you want makes no difference to anyone. The big thing I want to clear up is Brian Johnson's voice is actually awful he says it himself but ac/dc wouldn't be them without it. Jeff Tate is one of my favorite singers ever and Queensryche wouldn't be them without him . This goes the same for dream theater. It is strange to me for people to separate bands like that. When dream theaters virtuoso musicians picked James it was because it fit there style they loved his sound and made him their front man. If you think they were wrong that doesn't mean nothing to me just seemed strange to me . If you don't like it that is totally cool. I actually met JL, BJ,JT,and GL their all down to earth and never once once bragged on themselves really cool guys.

  • @mvunit3
    @mvunit3 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Welcome back guys! :D
    The reason why the band used a different logo; the album was done by Graphic artist/Photographer Storm Thorgerson ("Hipgnosis"). Apparently Storm doesn't use other peoples logos when creating his art, so he or his studio created the logo on the album. I would have just taken the art, and then added their logo after, before printing :p.
    Yeah this album when it debuted, many of us DT fans didn't know how to take it. Yes it was more commercial, and we wouldn't know the "story" till the documentary in the next Live DVD (the extra documentary) where Portnoy said he was under a lot of stress and almost quit the band; _Consequently, creative conflicts arose, with guitarist John Petrucci accepting the label's plea for change and drummer Mike Portnoy fighting against it._
    _According to Lifting Shadows (Biography), Falling into Infinity was considered a commercial failure, failing to break any new ground for Dream Theater or increase their sales despite its more commercial direction. As a result of the creative and personal tensions experienced during the album's production phase, it has been described as the band's "most difficult album", and eventually led to their demanding to be free from record label interference for all future albums. Mike Portnoy has mentioned that if Elektra Records, Kevin Shirley, and Desmond Child were not involved in the making of the album, he would have made a "completely different record". In 2007, the band released a demo version of the album reflecting Portnoy's original song arrangements and track listing, including a live rehearsal of the original "Metropolis Pt. 2"._
    Originally it was going to be a double CD, with tracks; _"Raise the Knife", "Where Are You Now", "Cover My Eyes", "Speak to Me", "The Way It Used to Be", and "Metropolis Pt. 2", the latter of which was later expanded into its own album, with the rest being included on the 1999 fan club CD "Cleaning Out the Closet"._
    Speak to Me & Cover My Eyes (Live) is pretty amazing and would shock both of you, and Raise the Knife was an Epic much like Metropolis, crazy changes in the middle of the track, which was also amazing live.
    For me at the time; "Hells Kitchen/Lines in the Sand", "Take Away the Pain", "Just Let Me Breathe", "Trial of Tears" were the saving grace, but I grew into the shorter song oriented tracks (except "Burning my Soul" with the _voice box_ effects).
    I can remember me and a co-worker from Brazil at Tower Records were talking about how previous albums had a more punchy intro to their albums. But I enjoy the album much more now. Always saw Derek as a Metal version of _Jan Hammer_ as they both sound like "guitarists" on keyboards. You have to checkout *Platypus* (on your shelf) with Ty Tabor on guitar and vocals (Kings X), Rod Morgenstein on Drums (Dixie Dregs, Winger), John Myung on Bass & Derek on the Keys (the album "Ice Cycles" from 2000). They later became *Jelly Jam.*
    So now you have to do "Erotomania" with the rest of the Suite; "A Mind Beside Itself" from Awake!
    - Glad Lexi enjoyed it! Welcome home N&L :).
