Dream Theater Change Of Seasons CD

List All Reviews

 Never cease to amaze.
Although, there is only one Dream Theater official new track, it pays an awesome worth of a 23 minute delight. The other songs, which are covers, are masterfully done, particularly the Led Zep medley. An EP with awesome musicians; Petrucci with his unique rhythms and memorable solos, Myung with his supportive virtuosic bass lines, Portnoy with fantastic signatures and fills after fills, LaBrie with his powerful melodic vocals, and the presentation of Derek Sherinian on keyboards proving his worth to the song by assisting the members. A must have for any DT fan, progressive fan, and/or musically challenging musician-seekers. Highly recommended.

 Dream Theater - Amazing Both Live And In The Studio
The title track on this album is phenomenal...it's exactly what die-hard fans expect from Dream Theater. I think that listening to this album would be a great way to introduce a new fan to Dream Theater's music. The live covers that make up most of the album are SO GOOD. Some of them are performed as medleys, and the band goes through all the changes without missing a beat. Awesome.

 Atypical Dream Theater, Awesome Results
The first song is in typical Dream Theater fashion:an awesome production. Regarding the cover songs, a song should not be covered, unless it can be improved upon. Dream Theater improves every cover. Don't expect anything radical, just a better rendition of the original. I would have preferred a CD that stuck with the same theme and not mixed an original studio song with several live cover songs. Regardless, the CD is awesome.

 A brilliant epic followed by above average covers
Dream Theater has again succeeded in producing an exceptional progressive rock / progressive metal epic with all their signature styles, including scorching guitar and vocal lines, intricate drums and bass, and insightful keyboard work. The compostion is very skillful, especially in the use of odd meter and in the segues between different sections of the song. I would argue that this is one of their best pieces of all time. The covers are good, but not as amazing, mainly because Dream Theater didn't WRITE the songs. It is interesting, however, to hear them cover styles that they are not usually associated with (especially Elton John and Journey). For those who like their songs "Voices," "Scarred," and "The Dance of Eternity," this album is a must.
