Images and Words by Dream Theater (CD, Jun-1992, EastWest America)

Images and Words is a great title for this CD. The project is well structured and melodic. If you like Rush, Kansas, Yes or even Metalica this is a must buy.

Dream theater is known for making albums that you can listen to all the way through. This is probably my all time favorite album ever.

Just as many of you do, I listen to a voluminous amount of music. I'm confident Dream Theater is virtuosically the most adept band on the planet and that includes Rush, an obvious influence. What is special about Images & Words is that every song has purpose, each transition is part of a narrative and every fill serves the music itself instead of asserting only the chops of the musician. This is not always the case with progressive rock. To Dream Theater's credit, it has largely the case within their entire catelog thus far. With Images & Words however, not a single note could be edited to make it a more efficient record of the same weight. It is, by definition, a progessive music masterpiece. This record has muscle, subtlety, beauty, technical prowess and grace and it is singular to anything that has ever been released. It will bless your life.

Impressive, their earlier music is proof of how talented a group of muscian's they are. Their music is truly estonishing and remarkable. I feel very solid about the music products I have purchased thru e-bay.

...after listening to this album, I was hooked. I much prefer to hear them live, though, without the over-production (too many samples/triggered drums). Still this album changed my musical tastes forever. DT is the BEST band out there, period. Don't believe me? See them live, or watch a concert DVD, and prepare to be stunned. And yes, they are still getting even better, if any of us can believe that to be possible. Enjoy!

Some years back, a friend turned me onto Dream Theater, and I've been hooked ever since.
The Hard grinding metal of this hard rock band is just great! They're original, and not often do you find a Metal band with Melody. Dream Theater is not only loaded with Melody, but Lead singer James LaBrie carries heavy melodious tones throughout every song. This album Images and Words is the first one the band put out, and every album they put out thereafter can be said is their best work, cuz they seem to out-do themselves with every release.

I decided to buy it, cuz I used to own it, and lost the CD disc after leaving it in a car that we sold. I still have the jewel case for the CD, but now I need a replacement copy of the disc itself.

Overall, I highly recommend Dream Theater to ALL fans of Hard Rock and Metal music listeners.

I always enjoyed Dream Theater's diversity as a Progressive Rock Act. I have seen the countless times from a small club to a 25,000 seater. I have a nice collection of signed cd covers from some of my favorite Bands like Dream Theater. Thi is their second release with James Lebrie on vocals. Great Cd. Nice signatures and shipped great.

Nothing like getting some signed stuff which sometimes comes once in a lifetime.

I loved the fact that the CD was in better shape than was stated by the buyer. It also came super fast ! Way to gooooooooooo !
