Love is the Dance of Eternity....

The second sudio album of Dream Theater "Images and Words" marked a milstone in the progressive metal genre.. This also means the end of the Dominici Era which means it's time for some real progressive metal. It also means the start of the Labrie Era. You know I can't imagine Dominici singing "Take the Time" "Another Day" and especially "Metroplis I." Dominici is just mediocre. It also proved the growing maturity and complexity in Dream Theater's brand of music. What I didn't like in this album was that Labrie's voice is too cheesy.

I loved the keyboard works of Kevin Moore in this album. Petrucci's shredding technique is much heard in this album. John Myung's basslines that are so wicked. Mike Portnoy's complexity.

This is one of the best that progressive music has to offer.
