Biography

Dream Theater is an American prog-metal band formed in 1985. Although they mainly focus on album work they scored a Top 10 hit in 1992 with "Pull Me Under".

In 1986 the band began touring and they recorded some of the material later released as The Majesty Demos. When When Dream and Day Unite was released in 1989 it fell into a chasm of disinterest. However, Images and Words (1992) found their… Read more in Amazon's Dream Theater Store

4.0 out of 5 stars This EP-length single features some great rare songs., August 14, 2003
This review is from: Hollow Years (Audio CD)
I'm assuming that if you're checking this particular item out on Amazon.com, then you're already a Dream Theater fan, and probably a serious one at that. The Hollow Years Japanese import single is a nice treat for the die-hard Dream Theater fan. I'll try to give you an idea of what you get with this single (which is actually closer in length to an EP):

Tracks 1 and 2 are the radio edit and LP version of Hollow Years, one of the better songs from Falling Into Infinity.
Track 3 is the demo version of the Falling Into Infinity song You Not Me, titled You or Me. This is a nice surprise. I never really warmed up to You Not Me in its official version. There was just something about it, particularly the chorus, that didn't sit well with me. The demo version presented here is a big improvement. The song just seems to flow together much better.
Track 4 is a song called The Way It Used To Be. This is an incredible track. It's probably one of DT's more pop/rock-influenced songs (if you can call a nearly 8 minute song with lots of progressive elements a pop/rock song), and for some reason it reminds me of a U2 song. It's very upbeat and melodic, while remaining a good hard rocker. At any rate, it remains one of my favorite DT tracks, and definitely my favorite on this album.
Track 5 is a live version of Burning My Soul. To be honest, this one really doesn't add much to the disc. It's another of the Falling Into Infinity tracks that just don't seem to work. It is a good live recording though, so if you enjoy the song you probably will want to check this out.
The final track is an excellent live version of Another Hand/the Killing Hand, one of the very first epic Dream Theater songs from When Dream and Day Unite. I've always liked this song, especially when James LaBrie (who joined DT after it was released) sings it. It's heavy, progressive, epic, and a great example of what Dream Theater is all about.

Overall I have to give this disc a pretty high rating. In my opinion, The Way It Used To Be and Another Hand/the Killing Hand are more than worth the price of this import. I'd recommend it to all die-hard Dream Theater fans, though casual fans might not get enough out of this disc to make it worth the high price tag.

5.0 out of 5 stars Come-on... It's DT, August 14, 2001
By Gary A Latuscha (Farmington, Maine USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hollow Years (Audio CD)
Now we can praise Dream Theater for releasing another cool, lightly flavored Single/Import, but it is better to only comment of all of the extras that they are known for throwing in. The live material is hands down some of the better stuff on the mix, but then to throw in the traditional non-LP and Demo tracks is a plus. This is one of the better imports I have, for it's diversity alone. Dream Theater will forever be the musical wonders they are hyped up to be. Later....

5.0 out of 5 stars Great single, awesome new tracks, September 3, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Hollow Years (Audio CD)
The extra money for the two live tracks is worth it. Burning my Soul is awesome, and to hear James sing The Killing Hand is incredible. Any true Dream Theater fan would love this disc. It's very cool!
