Our Take

Ah, Dream Theater. The prog rock legends that never fail to divide opinion. And their latest release, "Lost Not Forgotten Archives: The Making Of Falling Into Infinity (1997) (Digi)," certainly gives fans and critics alike plenty to talk about.

This album is a deep dive into the making of one of the band's most controversial albums, "Falling Into Infinity." Packed full of unreleased demos, alternate takes, and behind-the-scenes interviews, it's a treasure trove for die-hard Dream Theater fans.

But does it hold up for the casual listener? Well, that's a whole different ball game. The rawness of the demos and the unfinished nature of some of the tracks may not be to everyone's taste. But for those who are willing to dig deep, there are some hidden gems to be found.

Listening to this album is like being a fly on the wall during the creative process of one of the most enigmatic bands in rock history. You can almost feel the tension and the passion in the studio as the band worked tirelessly to bring their vision to life.

Overall, "Lost Not Forgotten Archives: The Making Of Falling Into Infinity" is a must-listen for any Dream Theater aficionado. But for those looking for a polished, finished product, you may want to look elsewhere. This album is a fascinating peek behind the curtain of one of prog rock's most intriguing bands. Well worth a listen.

Their music is not for the faint-hearted - it's a rollercoaster of time signatures, intricate melodies, and virtuosic solos. Dream Theater is known for their epic concept albums, where each track seamlessly flows into the next, taking the listener on a musical journey like no other. From the energetic "Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory" to the haunting "Octavarium," their discography is a treasure trove of progressive rock gems. But don't be fooled by their technical prowess - Dream Theater knows how to have a good time too. Their live shows are legendary, with the band members cracking jokes and interacting with the crowd in between epic solos.
