"Images and Words" is an album that will forever remain close to my heart. What an incredible milestone for prog-metal!

What I love about Dream Theater's music is that they create a unique atmosphere with a blend of different harmonic modes. This really stands out in this album. Major key, minor key, Phrygian mode, blues scales, I love it all!!

The magic and energy of this album is unique to anything that came before.

"Pull me under", "Take the Time", "Metropolis pt 1", "Wait for Sleep" and "Learning to Live" contain anthems that will surely echo into the 21st century! The other tracks are brilliant too. I love live versions of "Surrounded" and one of my ALL time fav DT songs is "Under a glass moon".

The density of musical ideas, and the effortless flow of the instrumental sections of these tracks make for an unforgettable experience.

4.5 stars. An historic and pioneering album.
