To inspire this review(my first), I've put on Images and Words in the background. Now let me try to find the words to define this album.

Images and Words, Dream Theater's 2nd Studio Album is until today in my humble opinion, their best album. No other DT album has managed to portray such a unique atmosphere which sucks you into it, and you wish it will last forever.

The big change in this album from their debut album(When Dream and Day Unite) is of course James LaBree, who took over as lead vocalist instead of Charlie Dominici. This was a great change because it's clear that LaBree's vocals blend in DT's music alot better than Dominici, which is a great vocalist anyway.

In matters of creativity this album is extremely diverse and original, it stands in its own genre. Technically, well that's DT's best part, their players are few of the best around, Portnoy, Petrucci, Moore, Myung, LaBree are all excellent musicians and they give a brilliant performance in this album.

Overall, a 5/5 piece right here, no matter what's your taste, you cannot go wrong with this album, it's a must for any music collection!
