They also have a video for Another Day.

[QUOTE=MAthiAS]I saw a video for Pull Me Under once. Their singles kind of suck because they cut out parts, usually keyboard parts.

On ToT again, I got ToT first, and I actually doubt that I would've liked Images and Words if I hadn't first heard DT's other stuff.[/QUOTE]

Ah I think I was being biased 'cause Awake was my first album, so yeah I spose it can go either way.

So that's 3 videos.

I think there's a video for Take the Time. Never saw it on TV, it was on one of their DVDs.

Top 100 album competition results

11. Dream Theater - Images and Words (25)
32. Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory (30)
47. Dream Theater - Train Of Thought (14)
79. Dream Theater – Awake (15)

Meh, Awake > ToT IMO.

Images and Words is about where it should be, maybe a little low, but its up there at least.

What would you say a good Dream Theater cd to start out on would be?

I started with ToT but like SFAM the most. Images and Words might be a good place to start.

the first few times i listened to ACOS, i thaught it was good, but after you listen through it a few times, u realise its bloody awsome

So true. Do you like it more live or studio?

I'm more of a fan of studio. The only time I can handle live stuff, is video format, but I hate to say James' voice tends to be less *thinks of a word*... ....refined..? His voice annoys me sometimes [live recordings] but otherwise I love live DT videos. :)

I agree... I don't buy live CDs, only DVDs. Its live, I want to see it too, ya know.

Hey could anyone do me a favour? Tell me the name of the unplugged song on the 5 years dvd. The one that goes "Tell me what your thinking, Tell em what your feeling inside." I just have no idea what the song could be. Any help would be much appreciated.

Maybe it's "cover my eyes" (unreleased Falling Into Infinity Demo)

Only acoustic DT song I know of is The Silent Man, but its not that. Sorry.

Its called Speak to Me, which is on the '99 fan club CD.

Hey hey guys. After hearing so much buzz about Dream Theater on these forums I decided to go out and experience some of the magic for myself, so I got Train of Thought, and I love it. Its so good it makes my head hurt just listening to how good they are. I'm gonna get Images and Words next. Do you guys know if they're coming out with a new album, or better yet, if they're touring any time soon?

I got the albums in this order:
ToT
Awake
Scenes From a Memory
A Change of Seasons
When Dream and Day Unite
I have burned copies of Images and Words and 6 Degrees.
The only Album I haven't heard in full is FiF

Just a heads up, Images and Words is nothing like Train of Thought, so don't be expecting it. It isn't nearly as heavy, but it is an amazing album, much better that Train of Though IMO.
I'm not sure about the status of their next album, I heard a rumor a while back that they might be writing parts of it now but I'm not certain. They do have a few dates for Europe this summer at a couple festivals and I'm not sure about any other dates they have planned for this year.

If you like the heavy stuff, you might be better off with 6DoiT or SFAM rather than Images and Words. Unless you're open minded like that. Oh yeah, and Petrucci's got his CD coming out soon.

Good to see you like the 'Theater. Nexy best release for you would probably be 6DoIT, or Scenes from a Memory.

And seeing as you're a new fan, make sure you talk about the technique only in moderation. People will just bash you if all you say is how fast they play or whatever. Sorry if that sounds nasty. Just some advice to escape the 'musically enlightened' know it alls.
