This is one hell of a rabbit hole you're standing at the precipice of...
What Kyle said!
The precipice looks deep and dangerous...but go ahead and jump in! (Been a Dream Theater fans since I first heard this on the radio in 1992)
“Metropolis Pt. 1” is probably my favorite song on this album. Also, “Surrounded”.
As I am is another radio banger by them. They, particularly Mike Portnoy are huge Rush fans. Jordan Ruddess was accepted to the Juilliard school of music when he was in the 2nd grade and was named Best ever keyboardist in the world by Music Radar
UNDER A GLASS MOON
My fav off this album.
Scorching hot that track
Dream Theater is a blend of the virtuosity of progressive rock, the aggressiveness of metal, and an elegant touch of classical music in some of their songs.
I'll never forget two things: reading about this album a local music paper (it was described as Yes meets Metallica) in 1992 and then hearing the opening of this song for the first time. Instant purchase at the record store I was listening to it in and I've never looked back.
You guys should do "Under a Glass Moon" from the same album. It has a guitar solo so legendary and insane it will melt your face right off.
Under a Glass Moon next! Extra points for trying A Change of Seasons.. though that one lasts about 20+ mins.
Welcome to Dream Theater!
Imagine living in the early 90s, when discovering music like this wasn't easy. Songs like this weren't on the radio, because it was "too long".
I only learned about Dream Theater when I was in college because I was a huge fan of the band Marillion, and one of the BBS systems I followed mentioned that this group called "Dream Theater", who was opening some shows for Marillion was pretty good. So I made a trek over to the local Tower Records and picked up this album.
Times have certainly changed.
they played this on kisw Seattle's best rock+
I'm 56 yo and this is still my favorite band, and you guys have only touched the tip of an iceberg!!!
Why does Dream Theater pull me under end so abruptly?
When asked about the abrupt ending while at a drum clinic in Atlanta in 1999, Mike Portnoy explained "We had all this tension, and it just kept building and building, and we had no idea where to take it, you know? So we decided to just pull the plug on it, like The Beatles did with 'She's So Heavy'."
My favorite car song from 1998
It's so perfect though, end it, NOW.
This song is just EPIC! One of the best songs, of any genre. Gives people the best intro to Dream Theater; the whole album is good!
One of the best albums EVER. You have to listen to the whole thing. They are geniuses. Everyone was shocked by the end of this song, even if it segued into the next a bit.
We Gen X'ers hands down had the best soundtrack to our lives!! I absolutely love watching people reacting to music we've had the pleasure of listening to our entire lives. 🤘🤘
This entire album is equally as good as this song. Eat it up. You can have 57 minutes of this by listening to the whole album straight through. It's incredible.
This song is over 30 years old. they've become even better musicians. The current keyboard player is Jordan Rudess and he's untouchable. Also they are currently in studio with Portnoy back in the mix
Totally love the song, I wish there was more from them realy like this. This was so good it was a radio hit and Dream Theater just didn't get radio hits, it was that good. Singer wise Geddy Lee from Rush. The theme is great, fuck this place take me away when your ready, pull me under.
The infamous abrupt ending makes any reaction video worth to watch.
Learning to Live!
Esto es otro nivel de música es lo máximo los padres del Metal Progressivo que disen uds????
This is an absolute beast of a song.
Just a note. This entire album will blow your mind
I'd say there's a Big 4 of Prog Metal if you throw TOOL in there as well! Watching Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater try to play Pneuma by TOOL on Drumeo was hilarious!
Awesome to watch people discover DT, I had the same reaction in about 2002... Keep em coming guys, listen to all of it !
DT's "Octavarium" is an amazing listen, if you have a few minutes (it clocks in at just under 23 mins.)!
PLEASE REACT TO THE FULL ALBUM!! One of the best ever. Thumb this up!!!
FFFFFFFIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRREEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Such an awesome song!!! This was the dictionary definition of "Reaction Video." I loved your reactions so much that literally Laughed Out Loud!!!
Fates Warning, one of my favorite bands. Must listen to Prelude to Ruin. My favorite by them.
One of the few metal bands I have been able to see live here is KY. They have come to Louisville.
"I haven't been this hot since Boz Skaggs" I'm laughing my ass off right now! You guys are great!
"I haven't been this hot in a while, probably since Boz Scaggs!"🤣 This was AMAZING! And I've go to admit, I've often found Metal to be a genre that's a little testosterone-heavy for me, personally, though this channel is definitely opening up my eyes, (and ears), to some great things--like this phenomenal song. It hit like a freight train to the chest, yet was somehow melodic, too. I'm shook, and still catching my breath after hearing it. MUCHO, mucho thanks for this one, and watching your reactions to it was almost as much fun as hearing the music. Wow.
It's been a long time since u guys done Queensryche 👍
My uncle was a record promoter for the record company Dream Theater was signed to when this album came out. That's how I found out about Dream Theater back in the early 90's. I've been a fan of Dream Theater ever since. You guys really need to dig in to more Dream Theater. Glass Prison is a must song.
And to think this is one of DT’s easiest songs to learn.
The entire train of thought album is a masterpiece…… also they have some instrumentals….. check out Dance of eternity and Instumedely… live with all five guys having a cam so you can really see how talented they are ( over a hundred time signature changes in Dance of Eternity)
YTSE JAM is a good one from the early days, too.
Thanks for the reminder of how FINE this song is!!!!🫠
One of the great reactions out there, to one of the greatest bands of our time. TY!🙏🏻🤟🏻
some really awesome power metal and progressive metal holy smokes dream theater that rhythm section draws you in how could it not do you hear and feel those very powerful elements and the fact that this song is over 30 years old it was made in 1991
Check out the 23 minute long song "A Change of Seasons" from their "A Change of Seasons" EP also from 1995. If you like power metal, have you ever heard the German power metal band Orden Ogan? If not, you should.
This reminds me a lot of Rush, with a metal edge, with all the changeups and musicianship. The singer kind of also reminds me Rush too.
This is what you get when you have a band who is heavily influenced by Rush and other Prog bands of the 70s and 80s. DT is a crazy talented band! Oh and Mike Portnoy really left a mark on anyone who heard this band in the 90s. One hell of a drummer!! Glad he is back with the band again.
The ending is exactly like the Sopranos. The song is about facing and accepting one's mortality, and the ending is a metaphor for death. It just stops. Sometimes I suspect they took the concept for Tony getting killed from the ending of this song.
My younger brother got word of this band early in their careers through an article mentioned by Mustaine of megadeath. I could not for the life of me could get behind them. But, now, being older and wiser(just a bit), do greatly appreciate their music.❤ great reaction guys! FIRE!!!!!❤
Same for me. Not sure why I didn't ever buy a single CD from these guys. I think that is about to change.
I really suggest watching all Dream theater songs Live. Their live stuff is not only better than studio but when you watch what they're capable of doing it adds so much more .
I saw them in Columbus at Newport, the only comparable live show I've experienced was Robert Randolph and the Family Band. Also, Dream Theater played a video of a Super Mario Brothers speed run in the middle of the show and that spoke to me, haha.
@@jarettthomas348 Was that the Black Clouds and Silver Linings tour? I saw them at Newport on that tour. They had a night off opening for Iron Maiden and instead of taking a day off they opted to play a full show at Newport which was awesome. Portnoy was friends with some band called Beatallica (a combination Beatles Metallica mix) and they opened the show at Newport. I saw DT open for Maiden that same year at Blossom also.
@@1Vettefan Sure was. It was out back and I set on the grass near the fence since i was a smoker back then. Great show.
My favorite song off this album is Under A Glass Moon
Good Dream Theater songs to do next would be Dark Eternal Night, Metropolis Part 1, Octavarium, The Glass Prison and The Count of Tuscany (There's so many more that are just as incredible)
I first heard it on WLRS on my way to the Kentucky State Fair back then. I was hooked.
I think this is one of (if not) the best reactions on this channel. That was great. Thank you guys!
Images and Words started me down a big rabbit hole when it was introduced to me, just sooooo good. An album i still go back to often as comfort level early 90s prog & thank you for doing the studio version to get the complete track. Start to finish just a brilliant album. Enjoy going into more DT!
More dream theater please! Caught in a web, lifting shadows, under a glass moon!
Kevin Moore is playing keyboards on this song.
DOCTOR Kevin Moore ;)
DANCE OF ETERNITY AND FINALLY FREEEEEEEEEE ARE SO GOATED BY DREAM THEATERRRRR
Literally, not ONE bad song on this
Masterpiece of Progressive Metal!
Please do the whole album guys…
You won’t regret it😎
I can’t imagine you guys right now after hearing this song and wanting so bad to hear more but you can’t because you want to save it for the channel. Might I suggest a song called the mirror/lie. Make sure you play them together the beginning of that song sounds like the end of domination by Pantera.
Probably the crunchiest song on the album. All the songs are great. Under a Glass Moon is one of my favs. Yes it ends like that, welcome to Dream Theater. Go read about the album Octavarium and how the entire thing is constructed.
Oh and sacrificed sons live 2006 in new york. The best live performance ive ever seem imo
welcome to the world of dream theater where dream and day unites😆. Now that you guys have started Dream theater I would recommend that you continue on their journey to experiences the awesomeness of their musical journey. hope to see the next dream theater reaction soon.
This band is amazing.
Other classics of theirs:
"Metropolis Pt. 1"

"The Mirror"

Mike Portnoy: Drums, Percussion

Views From The 502, This is great! I liked it and subscribed!
Ok, this is track 1, so you really need to just keep going. This album is a masterpiece. If you think this song has a bit of everything, wait until you experience the diversity of the whole album. Do a live stream reaction to the whole album. That would be awesome. 🔥 Obviously, they have many great tracks from their other albums, but this album as a whole would be a great introduction for you, as it was for me when it was first released. I saw them live on this tour as well. Incredible! Stellar musicianship! 🔥
Well said! I agree with you 100%. I heard Pull Me Under on the radio in 1992 and immediately bought the CD. I've been blown away and thrilled a hundred times by this album since then.
Surrounded!
That's my favorite. What an arrangement!
This whole album is freaky good. Take The Time was the song that reeled me in.
Me too! I listen to that first part of that song over and over and over again until I was able to sing it word for word! 🤣💚
Oooo… this is gonna be a good one to watch their reactions to. Being a 58 professional drummer, it’s a joy to see the songs that blew my mind (drum wise) being heard for the first time by the younger generations. I’m sure they shit themselves at how good this one was.
Much respect for the drummer and his long lasting career, proves he is awesome
Under a Glass Moon off the same album is incredible. Maybe the perfect progressive metal song.
Greatest Guitar Solo Ever!!!!!!
My comment below is quite pedantic- but as a rare, "metal keyboardist" from the 80s and 90s, I may be one of 7 people to care about metal keyboardists😂
Props from the 270
alright, you want a list? there is a lot of dream theater, and they have three main eras to their sound so far (their Early Albums, their 2000s Albums, and their Mangini Albums), and all eras have three main "styles" (heavy, proggy, beautiful), and all eras also have their share of 20-minute epics, so there's seriously a lot of content for you to look through. ..plus the live performances, and this is the only band that's ever made me deeply care about the live stuff.
my point being, even if you just went yourself and dug through their discography, you're going to have an adventure.
I will give you some recommendations based on their heavy stuff, as you came into this for the metal. I will give their best (my favorite??) Metal songs for each album. I will refrain from giving any songs that are too long, much as I love those ones, unless a song is really just that consistently incredible.
EARLY ERA:
first album, When Dream and Day Unite: The Ytse Jam (instrumental), Afterlife (a regular ol' song)
second album, Images & Words: Under a Glass Moon
third album, Awake: The Mirror
fourth album, Falling into Infinity: Peruvian Skies (goes freaking hard)
2000s ERA:
fifth album, Scenes from a Memory: Home (it's 12 minutes, it.. is worth it)
sixth album, Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence: The Great Debate (is 13 minutes, is absolutely worth it)
seventh album, Train of Thought: frankly, any song on here will take you for a ride, that's a promise. this is their Metal Album. but if I had to pick, Honor Thy Father is the heaviest. and 14-minute In the Name of God is the *best*.
eighth album, Octavarium: Panic Attack. though These Walls is really good in its simplicity and groove.
ninth album, Systematic Chaos: The Dark Eternal Night.
tenth album, Black Clouds & Silver Linings: uh! they are all like 20 minutes on this album. A Nightmare to Remember is pretty straightforward, though.
MANGINI ERA:
eleventh album, A Dramatic Turn of Events: hard picks. very particular album. I'll say Lost Not Forgotten is my favorite, but the heaviest is probably Bridges in the Sky?
twelfth album, Dream Theater: The Enemy Inside is a pretty straightforward metal single. if you're *up for* a 20-minute song, Illumination Theory really is just that good.
thirteenth album, The Astonishing: also really hard to recommend for, as the whole album is a big symphonic opera, so expect any song to sound like you jumped into the middle of a musical. because, you did. Three Days is a great short song about the villain. and Moment of Betrayal is a rather good rock song.
fourteenth album, Distance Over Time: like Metallica? go for Fall into the Light. like wild talent? go for S2N. like powerful emotions in your metal? go for At Wit's End. like more straightforward modern metal? go for Untethered Angel, or Paralyzed. this album is all short punchy songs.
fifteenth album, A View From The Top Of The World: I gotta recommend Sleeping Giant. it's not short, but it's perfectly understandable, says all it needs to say, and sounds good while doing it. Awaken the Master is also really good, and generally heavier.
....so. so yeah. there's your list. pick from it if you want. or don't.
dream theater is a band that makes people real passionate. they only had the one hit, but it was by their own choice that they stopped getting on the radio-- they just wanted to do their own thing. and it produced an incredible library. every single album has its incredible moments.
welcome to the dream, boys.
Dream Theater, awesome cool song, whole album is good yeah, good review 🎸🥁🎤👌😝👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This isn't their only song that got Radio and MTV play. "Another Day" off the same album also made the charts at the time. And their song "Lie" off of their album Awake also made the charts.
Big Rabbit Hole Band….you cannot believe where they go from here!!!🤘
The band members have an instrumental side project called liquid tension experiment check out "acid rain" live in LA
A dream theatre indeed 👍
16:29 "I'm hot. I haven't been this hot in a while. Probably since Boz Scaggs." Eye Ryan, that was hilarious!
The Glass Prison live from Gigantour. They were performing to a metal crowd and really brought the energy. Check it out guys
his voice reminds me of the guy from "Dokken"- Freddy Kruger movie lol
Never heard of this band or song, but it was very enjoyable.😊
The lead vocals reminded me of Styx.
Go down the rabbit hole!!
@@RandyBeans69 🙄
Check out Instrumedley! There's a Mike Portnoy drum cam for this song that is epic!
The logical next step is Caught In A Web. I love the early heavier stuff.
Thats not logical. Have so many musics better to apresent
@@wellingtontavares9362 yous also hav do muchy lesones in of the english to huve
@@cunjoz Not everyone speaks English, hope this helps!
Well if you wanna go heavy, how about "The Mirror".
The abrupt ending is also to whet your appetite for MORE DREAM THEATER!!
Whole album is amazing, the following album awake is great too! There's no bad dream theater..
In an interview they said they didn't know how to end it so they stopped it right there
Hey guys, in regard to metal bands that were not as well known but had some great tunes and a killer sound, check out Savatage, with "Power Of The Night", "Unusual" , and "Twenty-four Hours Ago".
YES to Savatage, one of my favorite metal bands! The entire Hall of the Mountain King album is fantastic! Criss Oliva (RIP) was an underknown and underrated guitar player.
IT'S ABOUT TIME!!! Great reaction, probably my favorite reaction of yours to a song. Check out Metropolis Pt I from the same album. Check them out live too.
The sudden ending is the segue to the next track - a much softer song. This is, to me, their penultimate album....they've done a lot of great albums ,but none of them compare to this one from start to finish. It really put prog metal on the map.The next one for you to do is even more powerful - "Metropolis Part 1 - The Miracle And The Sleeper": ruclips.net/video/IqqRx77T4Vo/видео.html
Great band, great music. Everybody shines. I like the name of the band too. : )
Yeah took me months to realise it DOES end like that.. thought it was cd fault ...lol😂
The band was very inspired by Rush. I could tell you Portnoy used to drool over Peart’s play. Very influential
I always thought the intro (not vocals) sounded like Queensryche. In my humble opinion I think John Petrucci is currently the best guitarist in rock today.
I'm so glad you guys finally got to Dream Theater. This was my introduction to them back in '93. Pull Me Under for all intents and purposes, really is representative of what they do well and what they are capable of. This is such a great album. This record and Awake (1994) feature keyboardist Kevin Moore. If you do another one I suggest "Under A Glass Moon" from this same record🤘
This is indeed 🔥
That crunching guitar anthem is the epitome of heavy metal in the eighties and Nineties...just like more cowbell , we need more crunch
Can't really go wrong with any song off this album. Best Dream Theater album imo
Some of the best rock musicians to ever pick up an instrument. You have to go on a run through their catalogue especially some of their longer offerings which are epic continental length musical journeys. ‘Octavarium’, ‘The Count of Tuscany’ or illumination Theory’ or if these are just too long for your channel then just rock out to ‘Panic Attack’ or ‘On the backs of Angels’
The reason this is their only hit is because it is their only radio friendly mainstream sounding song. It is also one of their simplest and least progressive songs as the time signature is 4/4. Most of their music is way more complex and long songs which rarely makes for radio hits. It sure is a banger though and still my fav song of theirs.
Yeah, and radio and MTV cut it up to fit their time schedule
Eh not really they have plenty of songs mostly in 4/4.
"what do you want us to do" I want you to hear it again! Enjoy that shit man that's what music was made for
Love you discovering the Portnoy feet and those double kick drums..🤘🏻😂….Welcome to Prog Metal! Go to Drumeo’s channel and watch Mike Portnoy do a drum play through of this song…
I like the intro so far!!!!! Can't really hear the lyrics but a good voice. A lot of change ups in the music! Taylor made for Nick!!! When you stopped it - I knew you'd love it. The bridge sounded better the second time! It did not end like that!!!! 😂 Leaves you wanting more.... Not bad for the first time hearing it. Have not seen you guys this animated for awhile. That was fun?
Tremendous song, and (FYI) the abrupt ending was inspired by the ending of a song by The Beatles, a Heavy Metal track called, "I Want You (She's So Heavy)". ❤😎
Fire song, fire music, everything was in tempo, there were a lot of musical transitions, it seemed that I listened to 3-4 songs in one composition, this is definitely progressive metal, the ending is appropriate. 😂
Sometimes just describing a song as "epic" encapsulates it. Great job by the guys here. While all the musicians and singer are terrific, I'm not sure the channel has had a song with as many guitar solos and every one is brilliant. Great stuff! 😄
🔥 Mike Portnoy is legendary.🔥 Thanks, guys,. Takes me back to my 20’s and college life. 😎
