Negative Positive
Title: A mixed bag
Review: Dream Theater. At their best they rock as hard as any band on the planet. At their worst they wallow in a sloppy sentimentality on par with Journey's "Open Arms." "Image and Words" is a bit of both. "Pull Me Under", "Metropolis", "Take the Time" and "Under a Glass Moon" are stupendous. "Another Day" is sickening. The other tracks fall somewhere in between. Musicianship is first-rate throughout. Overall, a keeper, if you avoid the mushy spots.
