Honestly, I can't understand why this album is such an underdog in the Dream Theater catalog. Yes, it is definitely a different sound for the band after their heavy & well crafted first 2 albums ('Images and Words' & 'Awake'), but really each & every Dream Theater album is unique & never sounds like the one that preceded it or after. What makes 'Falling into Infinity' stand out is that Dream Theater used a more "alternative" & raw sound this time around but still, it's as heavy & at the same time beautiful as ANY Dream Theater album. I think hands down the first 2 albums by this band is their best work, but 'Falling...' is still an album that shouldn't be overlooked especially if you are a fan of metal in most forms. Stand out tracks are "New Millenium," "You Not Me," "Burning My Soul," "Hell's Kitchen," & "Trial of Tears." *As a side note, "Hell's Kitchen" is an instrumental & in my opinion is one of the greatest, most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard.Read full review

THIS RELEASE IS WELL PRODUCED AND FULL OF GREAT MATERIAL WITH CATCHY HOOKS AND TERRIFIC LYRICS. VERY UNDERATED RELEASE BY DT. ONE OF THEIR BEST IN MY OPINION. RECORD LABEL AND PRODUCER FRUSTRATIONS AND BAND MEMBER PERSONAL LIFE TROUBLES (JOHN PERTRUCCI'S FATHERS DEATH WHICH PROMPTED THE SONG "TAKE AWAY MY PAIN" FOR EXAMPLE) DIDN'T STOP THEIR CREATIVITY, MAYBE HELPED IT. TERRIFIC RELEASE! DAVE C. WEST CHICAGO, IL
