专辑介绍:
Dream Theater,堪称是90年代以来最重要也最具代表性与影响力的前卫金属乐团,其92年所发表的专辑《Images and Words》,为当时的金属乐开创出新的表现形式,专辑中高层次的技术展现,使得团员纷纷成为各方注目的焦点,也使得这张专辑顺理成章地成为前卫金属史上的经典代表作,也是所有前卫金属乐迷奉为「圣经」的必备专辑。
在92年的专辑《Images and Words》推出后获到相当大的回响,不仅将乐团的声望带上高峰,也正式宣告前卫金属时代的来临!在这张专辑中,所确立的复杂编曲样式、吉他键盘对弹,以及丰富多变的节奏,无一不成为日后大多数新生代乐团所仿效的对象。Petrucci快速流畅的吉他技巧令人赞叹,keyboard手Kevin Moore深厚的弹奏实力,在专辑中如《Take the time》、《Under a glass moon》等歌曲里,都展示了与吉他对拍竞飙的绝佳风范,鼓手Mike Portnoy灵活且复杂多变的鼓点,总是带给听者无比的惊奇感(光看他的鼓具就觉得很不可思议)。而bass手John Myung则同样身手不凡,除了与鼓紧密搭配,也能和吉他键盘做对弹。当然主唱James Labrie的演唱功力与乐团的搭配也只能用「完美」来形容了!

Proof positive that one can be a virtuoso musician and also have heart, Dream Theater are in impressive form on this album, arguably their best. They do it by never allowing technical flash to overwhelm their songs; there's substance under the style, in the form of ear-catching riffs and aggressive rhythms. The opening "Pull Me Under" is, quite simply, a great song, from its sparse introduction to its heavy-duty main riff to its memorable lyrics. Dream Theater, as its name implies, is an introspective band, exploring the complexities of the human heart and bringing them to life with songs like "Learning to Live," "Take the Time," and "Wait for Sleep". Unlike many metal bands, they favor an optimistic outlook, as with "Another Day" and "Surrounded," and even the dazzlingly complex "Metropolis, Pt. 1" is an entertaining listen. -- Genevieve Williams
