REVIEW: Dream Theater - A Change of Seasons Eastwest Records, 1995
8/10
Dream Theater - A Change of Seasons - cover art A great recording by the progressive metal band Dream Theater, featuring one of the best songs ever made - the 23 minute opus "Change of Seasons". 23 minutes might seem as too much for one song but I can tell you that this one is simply amazing. It has everything - slow emotional passages, fast technical guitar riffs and beautiful vocals as we´re used to when hearing James LaBrie. The rest of this recording is unfortunately covers of Elton John, Queen and so on, music that I don´t really like that much... There is one more good song on this album - the cover of Deep Purple's "Perfect Strangers", also one of the best songs ever made (Dream Theater's version sounds much better than the original). Even with only two good songs and the fact that it was probably released for a purely commercial purpose this is a record worth buying, at least if you like progressive music.
