Release notes



Dream Theater's third studio release, Awake, marks a

definite change in the band's tone. From the moment the

guitars enter on "6:00," the first track, a darker

sound is immediately evident, and it continues through

the entire 75 minutes of the disc. The complex song

structures, marked by arrangements that would give many

good players fits, are very impressive. Drummer Mike

Portnoy and guitarist John Petrucci, in particular,

reach new heights with their instruments, but

keyboardist Kevin Moore and bassist John Myung hold up

quite well, adding to the prog-metal sound with their

own contributions. There are several good tracks here,

but the best are the crunch-heavy "Lie," the 11-minute

"Scarred," the thought-provoking "Caught in a Web" and

the deeply personal, moving "Space-Dye Vest." This disc

also marks keyboardist Moore's last recording with the

band; he left not long after to pursue other musical

directions. The heavy guitar sound may turn some off,

but Dream Theater's musical ability can't be denied.
