Music reviews of DREAM THEATER - WHEN DREAM & DAY UNITE (SWE)
Music Review: Criminally underrated near-masterpiece debut for DT
Rating: 5 Stars
How this album has been so criminally ignored and in many cases panned by fans of Dream Theater and progressive rock in general is beyond me. There is not a single weak track on the entire album. Petrucci, Portnoy, and Co. were all around 21-22 when this album was written and recorded and the music is very impressive considering their youth.
1. A Fortune in Lies: powerful openinging prog-metaller with a great chorus and tapping-sweeping-shredding solo. A sign of great things to come. 8/10
2. Status Seeker: a pop-prog-metal kick to the balls and the face. Just an amazing song. Awesome tempo change in the intro that leads into the heart of the song! (soooo many amazing tempo changes on this album, another one is featured in The Killing Hand and culminating with the mindblowing tempo-change chorus of Light Fuse and Get Away) 9.5/10
3. Ytse Jam: the classic first DT instrumental. Essential! 9/10
4. The Killing Hand: the first of several epics on the album. Though the flow isn't always great, it's beautiful and memorable and rocking for most of its runtime. Great stuff. 8.5/10
5. Light Fuse and Get Away: without a single doubt in my mind the best track on the album. A near perfect fusion of progressive metal and catchy riffs and melodies. The tempo change that the chorus blasts into is one of the most addictive things I've ever listened to. I listen to this song nearly daily for about six months now and I'm still not sick of it! 10/10
6. Afterlife: powerful, dreamy, hard-rocking masterpiece. Beautiful synths! 9.5/10
7. The Ones Who Help to Set the Sun: another epic! Beautiful, evocative delayed leads and time-sig shifting synth in the intro and the rest of the song is amazing as well. Another early DT classic. Criminally underrated. 9.5/10
8. Only a Matter of Time: one of the proggiest and most complex DT songs I've heard (very few motifs and themes are repeated in the song's runtime....things are constantly changing). It is also laden with plenty of hooks, atmospheres, and melodies to keep the listener involved while also blowing their mind! An amazing closer. 9.5/10
Every fan of progressive metal and Dream Theater owes it to themselves NOT to ignore this release. Criminally underrated near-masterpiece.
