WHEN DREAM AND DAY UNITE

This album was a bright sight in the late 80's, giving a new breath to prog metal. This was the Debut album for the biggest proggressive band out today, DREAM THEATER This album shows many different influences( yes, Rush, queensqyche, ect.) and many unique ideas. The use of odd meters and time changes are quite abundant through all songs on this album. the downfall of this album is the amount of time they were a band before they were signed. This album is a product of 5 years of writing together. It seems like they crammed to many different feelings and ideas and remnents of songs into this album. PLus the vocals and production value are quite under par. Overall a great album that is a must for any fan.
