"Lol! The Periphery hate has got people arguing that When Dream and Day Unite is Dream Theater's best album."



Not their best but certainly among their best albums.

Every album is "among their best" if you broaden the criterion wide enough.

Bottom of the middle. WDADU is so forgettable the band that made it has forgotten it. Yet fools up in here stanning like it's a hidden gem. Farkin lawl.

Tbh bands often do overlook or disown their fan favourites, especially when they come from different lineups or phases of what they were about

How is this thread still constantly topping the front board? Has one of the sides of the argument made significant progress yet?

It has moved beyond the album itself.

Why is the fact that it doesnt have a classic track or isnt played by the band indicitive of its quality?

Pretty sure they played The Killing Hand on some of their most definitive live recordings and YTSE Jam is probs still a deep cut fan fave for some subset sect of DT obsessives somewhere. Don't care for the album either way, but it had its impact

Fair enough. It's not a terrible album. Just mediocre.

A Fortune in Lies, The Killing Hand, The Ytse Jam and Afterlife (which is particularly underrated).



"Fair enough. It's not a terrible album. Just mediocre."



Nah. I wouldn't put it in the upper echelon of material released in '89 like Control and Resistance and Perfect Symmetry but it's a damn good album regardless and far better written than most of their post-Awake material.

Listen to it again because I'm at least 90% sure you can't even recall what that album's content is actually like.

From my v cursive Periphery experience I'm pretty sure Omega sounded better than this at its time of release

Your 90% are a huge swing and miss then, I listened ti DT quite a lot.

Now that's a revelation, I never saw it like that at all omg. All these wasted years!

I wasn't talking about DT as a whole, I was talking about WDADU.
