It first started when I purchased Images and Words when it was first released. I fell in love with the album and bought Awake when it came out. I enjoyed those albums for many years and then for some reason I just quit listening to the band. Fastforward to 2011 and I happened to see the new album at my local cd shop. I bought it and haven't stopped listening since! I then went back and bought every album I had missed in between. Now here in 2011 after not listening to the band since the 90's, I have to say that Dream Theater is my favorite band. I am so glad I rediscovered Dream Theater! |

Glad to have you back! Make sure you go back and review what you missed! IMHO they have progressively (no pun intended) gotten better over the years. |

@Keysman: Yes, I have been absorbing the albums daily. I ordered them all from amazon. Lots to listen to. |

If you haven't checkee it out try to get a copy of Lifting Shadows, an authorized biography by Rich Wilson. It really offers insight into how the band ticks and how much commercial BS they had to fight for a decade. With the inner problems and lack of support in any way from record labels, you com to realize how incredible it is this band is still around |

I would really like to see a documentary movie be made similar to Rush's "Beyond the Lighted Stage" based off "Lifting Shadows..." But, DT still has a lot of story to be told...the Dream is far from over! To the power of the Earth I'm calling... |

I had a similar experience. I enjoyed I & W in my mid-teens and for some reason decided to get SFAM a few years ago since I so enjoyed Met. Pt 1 and listened to it for years. Since then I have purchased 30 (so far) total studio, live, and bootleg albums. The new release is the first DT album for me to anticipate and buy when it came out. If I & W never got old in 15 years, I look forward to enjoying all of the other albums for many years to come. |
