5 stars Wow! The Dream Theater's best album, overcoming to Metropolis II.

I remember when he was younger my brother was showing myself a compilation of Heavy metal, which was the whole history of this genre, was mentioning me from his origins with Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple since it was evolving, later he happened with other groups as Judas Priest, Motörhead etc, I was continuing without understanding very well all that.

On having gone on already to a more modern stage hem, mentioned Iron Maiden, Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, Venom between others, but since even he was not finding a lot of interest, until he went on to the last stage of this genre and me Nü Metal mentioned any groups (System of to Down, Korn, etc) and later he began to speak about the merger of the Metal with the Prog and others subgenres about this one, until he said to me on Dream Theater a great group of Progressive Metal and since he decided to put to the song the name of this sound it was Learning To Live .

I was pleased much that song and then started to investigate that group (Dream Theater), and because I am not pleased at the beginning as I am pleased now, but at that time I really did not know much about music, and it gave me quite interesting because it is on time one group was much I liked Rammstein.

But let us not shift, then heard Metropolis of this group and fascinated me was tremendous and one of the best songs I have heard in my life

Then my brother told me a disc on Dream Theater, his name was Images and Words, and then I decided to buy it and I took a surprise.

Have high level songs as Pull Me Under, Surrounded, Metropolis, Take The Time and Learning To Live. As well quietest songs but we have a beautiful example Another Day, Wait For Sleep, and Under A Glass Moon.

This is an excellent record in all aspects, and has many variants undoubtedly much I love with the sound of Dream Theater and therefore my paracer album is a magic and full of surprises just a collector's item for people who likes music produced and excellent quality.

Five stars certainly.
