One of the best DT songs, out of one of their best albums.
To deeply understand Falling Into Infinity you have to listen to its demo version, much longer and differently edited, though I personally agree with some choices of the actual album, and mostly I like the sound of it more than any other DT album.
I definitely think that they wouldn't have had to dismiss Derek Sherinian.
As i said before....I don't see this album like "the worst".... in certain points is less amazing than others...but it was more melodic album they had written, too commercial? maybe..but, in long terms, became the base to 6DoIT, Octavarium and BCaSL.(which were released with a Heavy Album between each other...wierd) :)
@BinaryPill This album has a more mainstream feel because that's the way the record company wanted it. The record company had a lot control over the production and even conception of this album, rather than letting the guys handle it themselves as they had before. It really stifled and upset Portnoy, especially, and after that he vowed not to let the record company control things too much because they don't know what the Dream Theater fans want like the actual members of Dream Theater do.
The reason I personally don't embrace this song or this album as "one of Dream Theater's best" is because this really doesn't embody their talent or their creative capabilities at all, not to mention the song structure is boring, and the lyrics are... mainstream and boring too. The previews for this album were much better, and there's a reason many of these songs aren't played live, and why they themselves don't embrace this album openly much. It's not "bad", but not Dream Theater.
John Myung is always great and a true god in Bass (In this case he uses a Chapman Stick) but... in this song he really does a GREAT job... !Obviously the rest of the band also does an amazong job!
This album had some really crappy moments on. It's a shame though. The few songs on this that sound like Dream Theater were allowed to really do their thing are some of my favourite DT songs. This, Hell's Kitchen, Lines in the Sand etc. Raise the Knife shouldn't have been left off either.
Could have been their best album. Or at least up there.
@thresholdXCI Eh, i just think that You Not Me is bad, something about that song just makes it sound like shit...i think its just that negative feel to it...i dont really know.
i kind of get the feeling that dream theater fans dont like this particular songs. funny that its one of the few that i do like xD im more of a PT person.
favorite DT album. Im not the biggest DT fan, but im all in here.
How come some DT fans, hate towards this album? DT is known for being pretty progressive right? so whats the big deal with difference towards that fact..
@zajac1661 Because this was Dream Theater's (failed) attempt at a mainstream, radio-friendly album. Songs like Peruvian Skies and Hollow Years are neither Prog nor pop, neither techincal nor mainstream. So it's sort of the bastard child of DT during an uninspired period where selling records was the primary goal, not staying true to the music. Had 'Scenes From A Memory' not been released, it's believed this would have been DT's Waterloo.
@FirstTurnKill Don't insult my intelligence... I was asking because OBVIOUSLY had SFAM not been released FII would've been their last record, and yes this was their most mainstream album. After falling into infinity, they could've continued moving towards mainstream or they could've gone back to the prog metal and become self-produced (which is what they chose to do). I think what you meant to say was that had DT not decided to become self produced, then FII wouldve been their "waterloo".
@JThrashYT Actually, their most mainstream album was 'Images and Words'. But I think we're saying the same thing here: that while this was a wholly underappreciated work back in 97, it still didn't live up to the standards of what DT is known for. SFAM and every album which followed is solid proof of their capabilities without outside interference.
@musicmonkeyboard It really is a masterpiece from a keyboardist's perspective. But like I was saying before, the album fails to properly address any particular audience. I mean, is it prog or is it rock? Is it mainstream or is it underground? It tried being both and, in the eyes of many (including the band members themselves), it failed MISERABLY.
@FirstTurnKill I can see what you mean, it's not any specific style. It wasn't really their most succesfull album. But I dont feel that its necessary to be able to put a specific mark on this album. I mean, if you think the songs are good you will listen to them no matter if its mainstream rock or whatever (I for one find this whole mainstream discussion redicoulus, a band does what it wants). Though I will not tell you that you are wrong, you are just as right as anybody else.
Living out a constant deja vu Keep your head up Please be patient we will get to you Keep your head up Just have some faith and you can see it Through Keep your head up But faith don't pay the rent that's overdue Keep your head up All that's glittering is turning blue Keep your head up What they want from me ain't gotta clue Keep your head up Swallow pride before it swallows you Keep your head up Don't dare bite the hand that's starving you Keep your head up
after 15 years of intensive listening of a lot of different things, this song, the mid part instrumental in particular, could be the best shit I have ever heard.
Tool's Vicarious intro is similar, and The Pot's bass solo is also similar to the ending of this; they were probably listening to DT a lot for their 00s albums.
Dream Theater have like 1 million fans world wide and this is getting 20,044 views? seem strange...NO because everyone who truly loves this shit is listening to the album. I've Had Falling Into infinity for 4 Years and i still love it it's an all-time classic, ppl say the albums condensed...perhaps but the CD still clocks in at 78 minutes and change.
oh the age old DT fan war. Fans Who Hate This Album. Fans Who Hate James LaBrie, fans that think KM was the best part of DT, Fans who hate shit not with Ruddess, fact is: im a dream theater fan i have all studio albums on CD (except when Dream And Day Unite' [on a an old promo Vinyl] live scenes from NY DVD, Once In A Livetime CD, Budokan DVD. Score DVD, Chaos In Motion 07-08 DVD, Live In Tokyo DVD/5 yrs in a livetime DVD, some bootleg series stuff like made in japan. theyre a great band period
@ryandrums1001 thats unfair, labrie has a fantastic range going all the way up to a G#, he had a food poisoning accident which damaged his vocals for almost 10 years and he still sang on albums and performed in concerts which lasted over 3 hours
Agreed! This is one of the best album of DT! Just because the songs are shorter and simpler in structure, it doesn't mean they not good. These shows the songwriting capabilities and the melodic sense of these amazing musicians. Hail DT!!!
@gintoclopus See what you mean! The thing is that it´s not an appegio style you hear THAT often, Tool was very inspired by Robert Fripp and King Crimson which did those kind of appegio things a lot, where you play the same pattern over and over in a pentatonic pattern which i think this AND Vicarious is just with some extra "Add" notes maybe!
@vashclone. Now that is just stupid. IF you don't like an album, you cannot be a true fan? That means liking for the sake of liking, making you no more better than those who like albums because they are popular. Sensible fans decide what they like themselves, and don't like anything for the sake of liking it nor because it is popular.
I love Peruvian Skies not only when I listen to it but also when I don't listen to it...It's one of my favorite songs along with the New Millennium...
I love Peruvian Skies not only when I listen to it but also when I don't listen to it...It's one of my favorite songs along with the New Millennium...
I love Peruvian Skies not only when I listen to it but also when I don't listen to it...It's one of my favorite songs forever along with New Millennium...
Dream Theater is one of my favorite bands...I don't know why they are so underrated...Only for making most of the voiceless,only instrumental music based songs??...I don't think it is a criteria...Who think so they are nothing but retards...The position of this band should be above AC/DC for sure...& this song is fabulous beside the Peruvian Skies...<3
@ElectricallyInduced Peruvian skies is one of those songs that I want to make love to. Not make love while listening to it, make love to the song itself. <3
DT didn't even especially want the album to turn out like this. They originally wanted to make it a double album but their label said it wasnt marketable and watered it down to the most commercial album they ever made.
Underrated band. Underrated album. Underrated song.
Why the hate from DT fans on this album? underated albums from bands show the true fans from the kiss asses who like only there popular CDs everyone agrees with.
@deadpisser88 They're practically unknown, have only produced one major hit single in their entire career, and are only just now producing albums that break the Top 20 in American music. They're only overrated if you use the same definition for the word so many people apparently do; "I don't like it, so it's overrated."
Lady Gaga is overrated. Most Top 40 artists are overrated. Every bit of cred Dream Theater has, they earned. The fact that you dislike them doesn't invalidate this.
@outlier1985 They're overrated in the prog-metal/rock world. Great fucking musicians, and they do deserve credit for generally being the first of its kind, but imo a great deal of the songs aren't as impressive as they make them out to be. Their are better (prog/metal/rock) artists out there, some arguably better musicians then DT that don't get enough coverage (in the metal/rock world). Plus, I don't like Labrie.
More important than Lady Gaga being overrated, Lady Gaga fucking sucks.
@allmetaliswelcome Walk up to a random person on the street, ask them if they've heard of Metallica. Most people will say yes. Ask those same people if they've heard of Dream Theater. I guarantee most of them will say no.
Ergo, they are unknown. Even if they've been more popular in recent years.
@VashClone "underated albums from bands show the true fans from the kiss asses who like only there popular CDs everyone agrees with."
This album is disliked by fans because it is the product of an attempt by the label to interfere with Dream Theater's work. They pushed for them to adopt a more 'mainstream' sound in order to sell more record, and even hired a songwriter(Desmond Child) to actually rewrite a couple of the songs.
It doesn't matter if it still sounds good, it's the principle of it.
@VashClone There are alot of people that do hate the album, yes. Is it warranted? It's a matter of personal taste! I own the album and quite a few others. In my own personal opinion and taste I like ALL of what DT has written but this album is my least favorite. I like it, but as a whole it just doesn't do what the other albums do in terms of prog, depth, technicality, and orchestration of the instruments. Every artist has a dull album and I feel this is DT's.
@VashClone Dream Theater is my favourite band but I think this is their worst album. But I love it more than how I love most of the albums of my second favourite band, Annihilator...
@VashClone@vashclone. Now that is just stupid. IF you don't like an album, you cannot be a true fan? That means liking for the sake of liking, making you no more better than those who like albums because they are popular. Sensible fans decide what they like themselves, and don't like anything for the sake of liking it nor because it is popular.
@VashClone Yeah! It's a war out there, and you have to FIGHT AND DIE for your underrated Dream Theater album! That will show what kind of a fan you are... jeez ;)
@Xenorex247 You're not wrong but it is too hard to say which one ''wins'' concerning originality. Falling is definitely more mysterious if you ask me.
@thepalmetto Actually, they are becoming more mainstream now than after this album was produced. Notice lately that after the score concert and systematic chaos, they become rock stars. I think YouTube is also partly to blame. Now, they join mainstream artists from concerts such as Download.com, composed a song for god of war 3. Maybe you'll see them do soundtracks from movies. They do this to grow their fan base but sadly, their music is becoming less prog these days. It's all business...
@kigawman they were really never really very prog imo. not sure why they're often labeled as such. a lot of their songs dont follow the standard verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, chorus model but i still say they are not prog.
@kingcrimson234 On the contrary, they are. Oh! i'm sorry, they were. That's your opinion that they never really prog. But judging to the last 5 albums, most people will agree that they were a prog-rock group (including some prog-rock bands like Marillion and Yes.). In terms of following the standard song model, I think they follow the standard. The only difference is that they give more extra variety on their composition like other prog-rock groups do.
@kigawman I think you're right, but I would call their style "progressive metal". They have a lot of elements from the prog rock, but you can't deny that they have an heavier sound like heavy metal, and honestly, I love it. That's because they're called as the ones who created the prog metal, their style was unique, at times.
This album is so incredibly underrated. This song + Peruvian Skies, Lines In The Sand, Anna Lee, and Trial Of Tears are some of DT's best material.

This song reminds me of U2. "Achtung Baby" era maybe. Specifically this line:
"I've got this feeling
The tide is turning now baby
Funny feeling everything's gonna be alright now."

Underrated band. Underrated album. Underrated song.
Why the hate from DT fans on this album? underated albums from bands show the true fans from the kiss asses who like only there popular CDs everyone agrees with.

@VashClone Underrated band? Please. They're overrated.
deadpisser88 1 year ago
@deadpisser88 They're practically unknown, have only produced one major hit single in their entire career, and are only just now producing albums that break the Top 20 in American music. They're only overrated if you use the same definition for the word so many people apparently do; "I don't like it, so it's overrated."
Lady Gaga is overrated. Most Top 40 artists are overrated. Every bit of cred Dream Theater has, they earned. The fact that you dislike them doesn't invalidate this.

@outlier1985 They're overrated in the prog-metal/rock world. Great fucking musicians, and they do deserve credit for generally being the first of its kind, but imo a great deal of the songs aren't as impressive as they make them out to be. Their are better (prog/metal/rock) artists out there, some arguably better musicians then DT that don't get enough coverage (in the metal/rock world). Plus, I don't like Labrie.
More important than Lady Gaga being overrated, Lady Gaga fucking sucks.

@allmetaliswelcome Walk up to a random person on the street, ask them if they've heard of Metallica. Most people will say yes. Ask those same people if they've heard of Dream Theater. I guarantee most of them will say no.
Ergo, they are unknown. Even if they've been more popular in recent years.
outlier1985 1 year ago
@outlier1985 but they are not TOTALLY unknown. still a very big band in the METAL genre.

@VashClone "underated albums from bands show the true fans from the kiss asses who like only there popular CDs everyone agrees with."
This album is disliked by fans because it is the product of an attempt by the label to interfere with Dream Theater's work. They pushed for them to adopt a more 'mainstream' sound in order to sell more record, and even hired a songwriter(Desmond Child) to actually rewrite a couple of the songs.
It doesn't matter if it still sounds good, it's the principle of it.
outlier1985 1 year ago
@VashClone There are alot of people that do hate the album, yes. Is it warranted? It's a matter of personal taste! I own the album and quite a few others. In my own personal opinion and taste I like ALL of what DT has written but this album is my least favorite. I like it, but as a whole it just doesn't do what the other albums do in terms of prog, depth, technicality, and orchestration of the instruments. Every artist has a dull album and I feel this is DT's.

@VashClone Unfortunately this is one of the weakest DT-works. quite commercial and straight. no edges

@VashClone @vashclone. Now that is just stupid. IF you don't like an album, you cannot be a true fan? That means liking for the sake of liking, making you no more better than those who like albums because they are popular. Sensible fans decide what they like themselves, and don't like anything for the sake of liking it nor because it is popular.
That said, this is a good song.

I'm glad DT never hit mainstream, the world cannot contain their awesomeness as it is, let alone mass quantities of it.
thepalmetto 1 year ago
@thepalmetto Actually, they are becoming more mainstream now than after this album was produced. Notice lately that after the score concert and systematic chaos, they become rock stars. I think YouTube is also partly to blame. Now, they join mainstream artists from concerts such as Download.com, composed a song for god of war 3. Maybe you'll see them do soundtracks from movies. They do this to grow their fan base but sadly, their music is becoming less prog these days. It's all business...
kigawman 1 year ago
@kigawman they were really never really very prog imo. not sure why they're often labeled as such. a lot of their songs dont follow the standard verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, chorus model but i still say they are not prog.
kingcrimson234 1 year ago
@kingcrimson234 On the contrary, they are. Oh! i'm sorry, they were. That's your opinion that they never really prog. But judging to the last 5 albums, most people will agree that they were a prog-rock group (including some prog-rock bands like Marillion and Yes.). In terms of following the standard song model, I think they follow the standard. The only difference is that they give more extra variety on their composition like other prog-rock groups do.
kigawman 1 year ago
@kigawman I think you're right, but I would call their style "progressive metal". They have a lot of elements from the prog rock, but you can't deny that they have an heavier sound like heavy metal, and honestly, I love it. That's because they're called as the ones who created the prog metal, their style was unique, at times.
