About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

A Change of Seasons is a strange disc. There are only five tracks but with a total time that approaches an hour anyway. The first track, the 23-minute, seven-part epic "A Change of Seasons," is one of the most impressive pieces of music ever written in the progressive metal vein. With the same heavy sound that marked Awake, but with many other styles mixed in, the track features incredible playing, dramatic, complex instrumental arrangements, and soaring vocals. New keyboardist Derek Sherinian (formerly of Kiss and Alice Cooper) adds his own stamp to the Dream Theater sound as if he'd always been with them. The remainder of the tracks are live cover tunes, recorded from the band's "Uncovered" gig at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club; the material varies widely and includes Elton John's "Love Lies Bleeding" and Deep Purple's "Perfect Strangers." The final track, "The Big Medley," has to be heard to be believed; Dream Theater shift musical styles on a dime to cover Pink Floyd, Kansas, Queen, Journey, the Dixie Dregs, and Genesis all in ten minutes.

COOL ALBUM!by Anonymous

March 13, 2004: This album might be one of the best Dream Theater has done Even though there are only 23 minutes of original music in the form of the epic title track, the band manages to squeeze a ridiculous amount of skill and musicianship into that short period. The best part of the song is, in my opinion, the instrumental opener " The Crimson Sunset", though the album has many other standout points. As for the covers,there aint anything too amazing about them , but they are done quite well and offer an interesting listen. So, if you like Dream Theater ( or even if you dont), you must buy this album.

January 12, 2004: I like this one, it shows the bands varying influences and A Change Of Seasons is an excellent song of epic proportions. If you don't like a band playing somebody else's stuff, don't buy it!!! But for me it was a good listen and I think they did a good job of covering these songs.
