Dream Theater is one of my favorite bands, no, my favorite of all time, but that being said I don't care for 90% of their songs. Most of the songs on their albums, while good, I just don't like. There are a few songs every album that really just grab me (Ytse Jam, Pull me Under, Awake, Peruvian Skies, Misunderstood, Nightmare to Remember, Never Enough, etc.), but this album is just perfect. I can't imagine living without DT, I'm only 16 and I'm glad my father made me listen to this as I grew up.
@Scutshakes oh man i totally here ya, I'm the same way, they've got their really great songs but a lot of them are meh... On, the other hand this whole album is pure gold! I was introduced to it when I was your age (10 years ago). It really introduced me and lead me down an introspective and lavish path of progressive rock and later to psychedelic rock.
One of my favourite songs ever. I just read the lyrics recently to check what they were about and I felt so identificated with them right now. It give me goosebumps.
@Octavius2250 i once accidentally clicked on a gay porn video with sum black dudes swinging their giant *** .. that was pretty much the gayest thing ive ever seen - until i read this ><
the start in whatever way reminded me of Kiss' "Love Gun", I don't know, it might be me. Both are fantastic bands, I like DT better though, more unique.
For some reason, this was the first ever DT song I heard. I fell in love with the band slowly but surely. Have to say that this one of LaBrie's strongest performances.
@dreamtheater142 I can top that! "YOU'VE UNLEASHED THE FUCKING FURY!" As said by the infamous Yngwie Malmsteen. I thought tha.... well they're both pretty gay.
@K9Insanity Man, Malmsteen's songs are gay. (lame) And Malmsteen is an arrogant prick who plays the guitar like a violin because he can't do it on a violin. It's an old trick that got old in 1995.
@lastinlineband1 actually, the only thing that got old on this page (and it had happened long before '95), my friend, is ur brain...if u dont understand, dont comment...put down the beer, pick up a dictionary or just google it! malmsteen is a technical player, based 90% on theory...a thing that "pricks" like u, and a great deal of the today's guitarists never heard of...he is one of the few who still know how to play, coz he knows WHAT he plays...unfortunately, their era is close to an end
@K9Insanity No. There's a huge difference between Dream Theater and Yngwie. When Dream Theater wanted strings or violin in a song they got Mark Wood. Yngwie was always fascinated with classical music but he was also a huge fan of Jimi Hendrix and he got his guitar on the same day that Jimi died. Yeah I agree his era has come to an end but I'd have more respect for him if he actually made an effort to learn the violin instead of winging it on guitar. No need to get angry over debates K9. =)
if u listen to DT for the first u will say they are awesome but they are just staring i can't fond any video clip O.o .....they fcking started in 1985 :D \\m//
That little riff Petrucci does in there at the end of the first several measures where he apeggiates and then moves up a half step and does it again - that's better than most guitar players entire repertoire...
@nikitofin iguales???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? .. no utilizan ni afinaciones parecidas entre algunos discos, como van a ser iguales. a lo mejor lo que pasa es que has oido metropolis y el disco de scenes from a memory, que son secuelas y todas las canciones estan ligadas a la misma historia, por tanto utilizan pasajes, letras o riffs iguales en varias canciones para hacerte saber lo que está pasando
@dblinkzz nono no me refiero a eso de la historia, me refiero a que hay algunas progresiones de acordes que estan en bastantes canciones, por ejemplo la progresion que hay en "take the time" esta en otras canciones tambien
I'm not gonna lie, it's hard at first to enjoy complicated music like this. The first time i heard DT i didn't really catch on and I dismissed it. But after a while, as you progress to liking more complex music, you really learn to appreciate it. DT is the best effin' band ever!
This Scenes From A Memory, Dream Theater at their best. An epic album. I think Rudess merely joint to this so called 'organization'? Hilarious. I saw Rudess note 'about me' something like that, he mentioned joining an established band, ' joining little organization called Dream Theater'. Ups, he changed his notification by saying 'I am keyboardist in Dream Theater'. Strange Deja avu.
@JustD972 I couldn't disagree more with you. All of them work together to write songs and if any of them were to be removed it wouldn't be the same. It will be interesting seeing what direction they choose to go without Mike. If you like LaBrie so much check out Mullmuzzler, his side project.
You can kick out of the band Petrucci,Myung and Rudess,and still the band will be kickass with Labrie. But if you kick out Labrie,the band worth shit...
mike portnoy no doubt we'll miss him but move on .... ok yeaa he cnt be replaced but atleast dream theater ain't given up and they still will produce great music which they always have done :) im prettyy sure james,john P and john M will say the same
i agree man i cant imagine anybody pulling off this album other than Labrie! But its true he really isn't that good live... But i think the reason that most people don't like him is because his style is very ballad-ish and everybody wants that metallica grungy voice to go along with heavy music... everybody is out of that journey and boston style! CRAZY ASS studio musician - RESPECT!
Everyone who hates labrie needs to shove it. The man has got an incredible range and tone quality. I used to think he sucked because he isnt the hottest live, but lets get real its because he is so freakin amazing in the studio that nobody could get it perfect live.
@herreraparallel777 I agree... Labrie is fantastic but right now we have to imagine DT without Portnoy. Until I hear an album without him.... I am honestly scared. It is almost impossible to believe that they will find a drummer that is as good and half as creative unless Mike is allowed to come back later on. Labrie is a major part of DT but Portnoy is integral to their domination of the genre.
@Echoboy2002 Truthfully, I'm excited to see just what Dream Theater will do without him. Towards the end, Portnoy seemed more interested in dominating the band's creative process than the genre. I honestly saw this coming.
@Rakshasa I hear ya, we know they have the talent to put together a great album. I'll just cross my fingers and hope for the best. It's all we can do.
Dream Theater changed Immensely from Dream and Day to Images and Words. And, althought recognizing Dream and Day is an underrated album, I just can't dare to compare both Dream Theaters. They're totally different, as much as DT's records after Kevin Moore's departure.
I'm not comparing, I'm just commenting on that there was still a Dream Theater before LaBrie came on around the second album, much like you said there was a Dream Theater with the different keyboardists as well.
Isurus, an original and progressive rock band based in South London, are looking for a vocalist. We have a professionally equipped studio. Currently, we are a guitarist, bassist, and drummer and are looking for a likeminded singer to complete our lineup - someone versatile with a great voice (think Maynard James Keenan, Mike Patton, James Labrie, etc).
I dunno about you guys, but that chorus from 1:55 to 2:13 gives me shivers every time i listen to this song, its a perfectly melodic chorus, and mike noodling on the hi-hats make it sound so amazing
Wow, I start reading comments and it's all about Labrie. Lol, Rush lyrics suck but yet the music seems to have lasted the test of time, which is the band they're always compared to isn't it?. Give up the crap about Labrie already. Every band has its flaw.
@jamesgriffyn Err, Rush and the lyrics shouldn't even be compared to Dream Theater, because 1. Neil Peart writes the majority of the lyrics, which DO NOT suck, and do have an internal meaning, and 2. LaBrie is NOT a flaw, he's a talented singer that's another piece of Dream Theater.
@goreSTRYKER Lol calm down dude. True fans of these bands have the ability to make jokes about them if they wish. I love Labrie, bought his new solo album recently. If you would have read my comment correctly, I said "give up the crap about Labrie already," meaning "stop making fun of him, haters." People constantly make fun of his live performances and it's annoying. So that's why I said stop.
Sorry. I misunderstood. Oh, I did know you weren't hating on LaBrie, but you said "Every band has it's flaw," so I was like "Hmm, that's a bit contradicting." Haha. But, in that aspect, I would agree, there's no reason to make fun of LaBrie's ferociously handsome voice. It does Dream Theater justice.
Labrie sings this high because that's the vocal style that goes best with progressive music. Take Geddy Lee, for example. A lot of people don't like his voice, but it goes best with the music Rush makes. Labrie is incredibly talented, which is why he's still with Dream Theater. Sucks that Portnoy left.
LaBrie used to have one of the greatest voices Metal has ever seen, even now his voice is still better than 99% of bands out there. If he still had his old, aggressive voice, this song would be even better than it is now.
I dunno why people are complaining about LaBrie's vocals; personally, I feel his voice fits Dream Theater perfectly; personally, the current band is the best I've seen in ages.
I'm not 100% fanatic of LaBrie's singing when DT plays LIVE. But, I don't think this specific record (Scenes from a memory) would have sounded any better with a different vocalist, I really don't. In my opinion he is the right voice for the album.
@elchafa What I think the big problem Labrie has is that every instrumentalist in the band is such a virtuoso that everyone compares him to Petrucci or Portnoy. I believe he is a very under-rated singer. and it's Prog, high vocals is one of the main characteristics of the genre(most of the time). it takes time to warm up to him, but at the end of the day, the realization that he is an excellent singer eventually comes through.(not to mention his harmonies with Mike sound really cool)
@hginct The thing to me is that his tone (I hope that's the word I'm looking for) is kind of annoying when singing live (that can and is easily fixed in studio). But despite that, I still think his voice is right for the album.
omg is it just me or did dream theater invented that thing "eargasm"? *^*

It is almost impossible to believe that they will find a drummer that is as good and half as creative unless Mike is allowed to come back later on. Labrie is a major part of DT but Portnoy is integral to their domination of the genre.

@Echoboy2002 Truthfully, I'm excited to see just what Dream Theater will do without him. Towards the end, Portnoy seemed more interested in dominating the band's creative process than the genre. I honestly saw this coming.

@Rakshasa I hear ya, we know they have the talent to put together a great album. I'll just cross my fingers and hope for the best. It's all we can do.

@herreraparallel777 I thought it was obvious that LaBrie was as talented as the other members of the band...

You can't? It's called When Dream and Day Unite.

Dream Theater changed Immensely from Dream and Day to Images and Words. And, althought recognizing Dream and Day is an underrated album, I just can't dare to compare both Dream Theaters. They're totally different, as much as DT's records after Kevin Moore's departure.

I'm not comparing, I'm just commenting on that there was still a Dream Theater before LaBrie came on around the second album, much like you said there was a Dream Theater with the different keyboardists as well.

@herreraparallel777 La Brie is talented, but he is not versatile. He is a melodic singer, really good for old DT.

Yeah, it's rare when you can find someone who's good at soft vocals as well as yelling/screaming and that throaty "raspy" metal singing.

Isurus, an original and progressive rock band based in South London, are looking for a vocalist. We have a professionally equipped studio. Currently, we are a guitarist, bassist, and drummer and are looking for a likeminded singer to complete our lineup - someone versatile with a great voice (think Maynard James Keenan, Mike Patton, James Labrie, etc).

I dunno about you guys, but that chorus from 1:55 to 2:13 gives me shivers every time i listen to this song, its a perfectly melodic chorus, and mike noodling on the hi-hats make it sound so amazing
ill miss mike :(

Wow, I start reading comments and it's all about Labrie. Lol, Rush lyrics suck but yet the music seems to have lasted the test of time, which is the band they're always compared to isn't it?. Give up the crap about Labrie already. Every band has its flaw.
jamesgriffyn 1 year ago
@jamesgriffyn Err, Rush and the lyrics shouldn't even be compared to Dream Theater, because 1. Neil Peart writes the majority of the lyrics, which DO NOT suck, and do have an internal meaning, and 2. LaBrie is NOT a flaw, he's a talented singer that's another piece of Dream Theater.

@goreSTRYKER Lol calm down dude. True fans of these bands have the ability to make jokes about them if they wish. I love Labrie, bought his new solo album recently. If you would have read my comment correctly, I said "give up the crap about Labrie already," meaning "stop making fun of him, haters." People constantly make fun of his live performances and it's annoying. So that's why I said stop.

@jamesgriffyn NO!

Sorry. I misunderstood. Oh, I did know you weren't hating on LaBrie, but you said "Every band has it's flaw," so I was like "Hmm, that's a bit contradicting." Haha. But, in that aspect, I would agree, there's no reason to make fun of LaBrie's ferociously handsome voice. It does Dream Theater justice.

641522 1 year ago
Labrie sings this high because that's the vocal style that goes best with progressive music. Take Geddy Lee, for example. A lot of people don't like his voice, but it goes best with the music Rush makes. Labrie is incredibly talented, which is why he's still with Dream Theater. Sucks that Portnoy left.

LaBrie used to have one of the greatest voices Metal has ever seen, even now his voice is still better than 99% of bands out there. If he still had his old, aggressive voice, this song would be even better than it is now.
edctgbujm123 1 year ago
@edctgbujm123: I disagree. I never liked his aggressive voice, except for The Mirror (which is quite strange that I do think it's fine in that song).
Ironically I have quite a similar voice as LaBrie. Raw singing just doesn't work as with singers with deeper voices (we're both high lyric tenors).

I dunno why people are complaining about LaBrie's vocals; personally, I feel his voice fits Dream Theater perfectly; personally, the current band is the best I've seen in ages.

I'm not 100% fanatic of LaBrie's singing when DT plays LIVE. But, I don't think this specific record (Scenes from a memory) would have sounded any better with a different vocalist, I really don't. In my opinion he is the right voice for the album.
elchafa 1 year ago
@elchafa What I think the big problem Labrie has is that every instrumentalist in the band is such a virtuoso that everyone compares him to Petrucci or Portnoy. I believe he is a very under-rated singer. and it's Prog, high vocals is one of the main characteristics of the genre(most of the time). it takes time to warm up to him, but at the end of the day, the realization that he is an excellent singer eventually comes through.(not to mention his harmonies with Mike sound really cool)
hginct 1 year ago
@hginct The thing to me is that his tone (I hope that's the word I'm looking for) is kind of annoying when singing live (that can and is easily fixed in studio). But despite that, I still think his voice is right for the album.
