Dream theater awake vinyl review.
Third dream theater album is the dark side of its successful predecessor.
Awake jettisons much of what was exotic and striking about the first two albums replacing it mostly with big stompy groove metal riffs of the sort that have been their mainstay ever since.
Prog rock heavy metal.
But i m pleased to report that awake is a very good album that showcases the mature dream theater sound and musicality despite its age.

Chill as a winter night.
Awake however takes the rushtallica sound of pull me under and runs with it for almost every song creating the prototype for every heavy dream theater composition to follow.
Impenetrable because of its complexity awake icy atmosphere and melancholic melodies are in contrast with warm and hope of images and words.
