AWAKE

i can never say enough about "Awake" - my introduciton to Dream Theater and to progressive metal. and what a thrill its been in the 16 years since then (i only heard it in 1995, more than a year after it was released).

i simply dont think its possible to do a song-by-song review of Awake since each one is a masterpiece that has something unique to offer and, at the same time, is a chapter of the Awake story.

Stand out songs:
