Title: For old school Metal fans, this beats 'Scenes from a Memory'
Review: If you're used to old school Metal bands like Judas Priest, Anthrax, Metallica (in their better days) and Iron Maiden. Or even newer bands like Iced Earth or Blind Guardian... I'm sure you're aware that the sound Dream Theater makes is VERY different.While I personally prefer bands like Iron Maiden (their riffs are more crunching, their vocals are much better and their songs are altogether more energetic and fun), I still liked 'Awake' by Dream Theater quite a bit. The first instrumental track is VERY impressive. So is 'Innocence Faded', which is my second favorite track.I think this heavier style of Dream Theater's is a much better starting point than 'Scene from a Memory' or anything by Opeth for Meal fans such as myself.So if you're new to Progressive Metal, I recomend trying this first.
Is the review positive or negative?
