my favorite dream theater album. i have "Awake," and in my opinion, Images and Words destroys it. i dont own M Pt 2 , but all i know is this album is a masterpiece.

there are so many memorable melodies, lyrics, and breakdowns on this cd its ridiculous. the complexities of the solos and progressive time signatures are flawlessly performed with EMOTION and STYLE. Labrie is flawless, and Portnoys drumming really brings strength to the music. The keyboard playing is also incredible(see take the time solo). of course Petrucci is at the top of his game in songwriting and soloing. john myung is quietly playing some wicked bass on this album as well.

standout tracks include:

Pull Me Under (very catchy) Another Day (great sax solo!) Take the Time (great keyboard/guitar battle) Metropolis Pt 1 (unbelievable break down/solo part in this one!) Under a Glass Moon* Learning to Live (nice piano textures)

* the solo in under a glass moon is recognized as one of the best ever
