Get Revitalized Versions of When Dream & Day Unite Instead of The Original

This version of When Dream and Day Unite should be thought of as one of Dream Theater nonessential releases.  It is most definitely a good album, but these songs have been revitalized elsewhere in Dream Theater's catalogue.  Highlights include "Status Seeker," "A Fortune in Lies," "Afterlife," "The Killing Hand," and "Only a Matter of Time."  I recommend either the Official Bootleg version of WD&DU instead and/or "Live at the Marquee."

Four Stars, 10.  When Dream and Day Unite (I recommend getting either the Official Bootleg of this live with James LaBrie, or Live at the Marquee)

Four Stars, 11.  Black Clouds & Silver Linings

Four Stars, 12.  Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence (I recommend the totally awesome 4 Degrees of Radio Edits, or Score instead)

Review of Falling Into Infinity by Dream Theater

Falling Into Infinity is a bit softer than the music on some of Dream Theater’s other albums, but it does get a little heavy on the song “Peruvian Skies.”  Other highlights include “Hollow Years,” “Lines in the Sand,” and” Take Away My Pain.”  Detractions include “You Not Me,” and “Burning My Soul.”  However, overall Falling Into Infinity is a tremendous album.
