With such bad works, remastering is not enough...

If I I had to start with just 3 Dream Theater albums to get an understanding of what the band is capable of I'd chose I
IMAGES AND WORDS, SCENES OF A MEMORY(Metropolispt2) and TRAIN OF THOUGHT. I feel with those 3 albums you get a pretty diverse sound from the band, although the album AWAKE is my favourite and a real gem at that I would not listed because it carries a similar sound I&W's. GET THOSE 3!!!!
Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣

The remaster is just louder than the original.

I would say keep going backwards chronologically if that's working for you. You've got Octavarium next, and that's like, the best prog epic of the 2000s and stuff.

LOL Although, to be honest, I've been a Dream Theater fan for like 7 years before I became a TFK fan.
ah, okay, so it's the DT dudes who took over the TFK threadWink
i'm at systematic chaos at this point.  i was gonna start at the beginning, but i really like jordan rudess.  i've liked everything so far...except some of the hot mastering.  like tfk, it takes a while to get into some of their tunes for me...especially the really metal tunes.  
Start from the beginning, you won't regret!


When Dream and Day Unite?        Or do you mean the Majesty Demos?

At least get When Dream and Day Reunite with James on vocals. Awesome show.
When Dream and Day Unite is the best 80s progressive metal album ever released. It is just recorded by a drunk monkey.

True. People often dismiss it as being bad just because the sound quality is crap, but it's actually quite a good album.
