Somebody requested this one, so just to be nice, I'm goin' for it.
Images and Words is among my top ten albums of all time. It really shows the amazing range of Dream Theater's musical abilities.
Pull Me Under: Not really anything special in my opinion, definitely a good song, but not much more.
Another Day: Great song. It starts off kind of iffy, and they bring in a soprano sax player, making it sound like elevator music, which I hate. After that, the song picks up and is wondeful.
Take The Time: A classic. It's great and uplifting, features an awesome instrumental, classic DT.
Surrender: A really good song, nothing amazing, but good nonetheless.
Metropolis Pt. 1: BEST SONG OF ALL TIME. This song totally rules, it starts off with the lonely keyboards, then the guitar comes in, all distortionified and cool. When Labrie's vocals come in, they're very high, he sings at the top of his range this whole song. One of their best instrumental parts follows this, then a finich with the vocals. Awesome song.
Under a Glass Moon: This song starts off with a pretty cool guitar riff, then the vocals come and it's pretty grovy. One of the best guitar solos of all time.
Wait For Sleep: This is the song Vacant tried to be. This is an all-aroud great song, just piano and vocals. Makes a great intro for:
Learning to Live: This is the last track on the album. It's so awesome, a true epic. My short attention span demands that I stop this review, so I'm not gonna go in detail about this song. It's equal with Metropolis Pt. 1, though. Amazing song.
On that note, this album gets a 5/5 from me. Great stuff
