Topic: Awake (Dream Theater album)


  
 Kevin Moore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After eight years and three studio albums in that band, in 1994 he decided to leave Dream Theater to pursue other musical ambitions.
Dream Theater fans noticed in hindsight that Moore had subtley explored this style of composition in one of Dream Theater's songs, the haunting Space-Dye Vest, and the Chroma Key song On The Page was in fact a follow-up to Space-Dye Vest.
The band that was formed was given the name OSI, and they released the album Office Of Strategic Influence.

 Dream Theater - Awake
This album was also the last album for Kevin to appear on.
Another power album from the band that everybody's talking about.
I guess Dream Theater is the kind of band that never will produced one weak album.

 Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Awake - Dream Theater at Epinions.com
Atmosphere is a big part of this album...
Prog Metal albums need a buffer zone of at least 5 listens to be completely absorbed.
Awake is by far Dream Theater's most atmospheric album to date.

 Ground and Sky review - Dream Theater - Awake
Awake is the heaviest thing I've heard from Dream Theater so far (although I haven't heard the last two albums), and for my money it's also their most interesting CD from a prog point of view.
Awake is perhaps the band's heaviest outing, but also the album of theirs with the most subtleties.
Probably my favorite Dream Theater album, and the only 70+ minute album by this band that I can actually listen to in one sitting without getting annoyed.

 Dream Theater Album Artwork News @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com
all of their albums are great, one of the only bands imo that has never put out a bad album.
Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy has uploaded the cover artwork for the group's new album, "Octavarium", at this location.
The style from song to song was pretty consistent; that album was pretty dark and heavy and very riffy, sort of metal [or] progressive metal-sounding.

 Sam Ulward Album Reviews: Dream Theater
The album itself isn't bad, it's just the weakest album the band had released since the days of Images And Words or something.
Awake opens with the drum intro of “6:00” which turns out to be extremely complex hard-rocking song with very strong melody and memorable chorus (That “Melody walks through the door/And memory flies out the window” lines will stuck in your head even after the firs listening).
It has one of the best melodies on the whole album and John Petrucci plays one of the best guitar in his life, but the chorus is awfully cheesy and sweety to my ears, and the song itself doesn’t deserve its’ six minutes running time for sure.

 Amazon.com: Images and Words: Music
Both albums contain well-crafted and performed music that will challenge the ability of listeners to learn to appreciate the intricacies of Dream Theater's music.
The later album is very technically sophisticated and socially relevant, while this album focuses on fantasy and mythology imagery that Dream Theater tried to describe lyrically and musically.
Yes, the "images and words" brought forth by this music transports the imaginative listener to a "dream theater." Like the near-perfect details in these songs, the names of the CD and the band were not chosen by accident.

 DREAM THEATER Awake reviews and MP3
Overall this album is produced well and is a delight for metal fans of the first two albums yet it continues the brilliant prog sound which follows on from the previous album.
The two previous albums flowed like a dream but this album is where the nightmare starts to kick in with its heavy edge and dark lyrics.
Another great album from DT and this is in my Top Ten Prog Albums.

 Jordan Rudess' Community Forums - Is Train Of Thought a Dream Theater album?
I have to admit that, despite being a Heavy Metal album, it is still Dream Theater.
Another thing to say that Jordan is a little bit away in that album is the guitar: it sounds louder that it should be.

 Books: Dream Theater: Awake (Authentic Guitar-Tab)
Awake is my favourite Dream Theater album, and is certainly a must have for any guitarist's collection.
This album and it's complexity will leave you speachless.
This is one of my favorite albums of all time, and I would recomend this book to ANY guitar player out there.

 Amazon.com: Octavarium: Music
Every song on the album is unique one way or another (except "Never Enough", which doesn't take off until its instrumental delivery 2/3 of the way into the song) and form the parts of yet another great Dream Theater release.
It's their eighth album (hence the title), there are eight tracks, and the insert pictures have 5s and 8s all over the place.
Last two of their studio album devided the fans all over the world generally in two part; first group is included by the fans who likes ToT and 6DoIT albums and next ones who hate those ToT and 6DoIT.

 THE METAL OBSERVER - Review - DREAM THEATER - Awake
The 95 DREAM THEATER-work "Awake" is an album of the extremes.
On none of their previous two albums the band had sounded as heavy as on "Awake".
"Awake" doesn't fully reach "Images And Words" both musically and song-wise, but still there are no fillers on this album.

 RevelationZ Magazine - Album Review - Dream Theater - Awake
This was a fantastic album and one of my favs of all time.
I must've listened to all of DT's albums a hundred times over, and in the end this one comes out on top.
Without following any trends, more or less creating and influencing most music that would explode in the following years, Dream Theater created a record (and a sound) that stood out alone, creating one of the biggest metal albums of 1994, not selling out for commercialism, creating music on their own terms.

 Nightly.Net: New Dream Theater album

I'm a little biased on all DT albums seeing as they are my favorite band.
The first single " As I Am" is the most accessible song on the album.

 MTV.com - Dream Theater
Dream Theater is known for its high-energy concert performances.
The technically proficient guitar playing of John Petrucci has elevated Dream Theater to the upper echelon of contemporary heavy metal.
While its lineup has continuously evolved, the Long Island-based quintet has consistently delivered sharp-edged music.

 RE: New Dream Theater album finished!
Maybe a concept album about certain drummer leaving secret codes and nuggets in the songs and solos throughout all his musical career.
This album will hold the distinction of being the VERY LAST album ever recorded at the Hit Factory in NYC.
As for the album, can't wait to hear it.

 A Review of The Phantom Tollbooth
If there is any song that saves this album, it is "Will You Be Mine," the first captivating song of the album, featuring excellent guitar work and a catchy vocal line.
The album continues in a similar fashion until it's about ready to be dismissed.
There are several other songs that exceed the expectations of most '80s AOR bands.

 Awake by Dream Theater CD
This is one of the albums that any progressive or metal fan should have.
The songs on AWAKE constitute a richly orchestrated suite of moods, and tend towards the kind of mystic parables and epic gestures that used to so fascinate Jimmy Page.
The mixture of heavy 7-string fret work, lush atmospherics from now-departed keyboardist Kevin Moore, a poignant, deep set of lyrics that make you think, and finally the crazy virtuousity that is the trademark of the band.

 Awake - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Are you awake at all?", which would be used when someone is only half listening to a conversation.
Animals can run, walk and eat while awake; humans can also talk, listen, write, read, and productively think and work in the awake state.
Being "awakened" is also used as a metaphor for a number of consciousness raising experiences, including religious conversion.
