THE REVIEW
After A Change Of Seasons, Dream Theater returned two years later with an album characterized by a unique and innovative sound that really impressed me, although I must say that only after many listens did I manage to understand the beauty of this CD. Despite many people underestimating this record, it must be said that it always reveals new and interesting surprises.
The CD begins with the intriguing New Millennium, which kicks things off and engages the listener with its unique and original melodies. The next track is You Not Me, perhaps the least surprising song on the CD, although Petrucci showcases a very captivating solo. The third song, Peruvian Skies, is certainly a high-level technical and melodic piece, though it has a sound reminiscent of the great Pink Floyd. Next is Hollow Years, the most passionate and tear-jerking song on the CD, proving that Dream Theater doesn't have to rely on their terrifying technique to compose great songs. Burning My Soul is an energetic and aggressive track that highlights the band's work. The following track is Hell's Kitchen!!!!!

Then there's Lines In The Sand, which, with its 12 minutes, underscores the technical prowess of the five Americans.

The main mistake, in my opinion, lies in the stupid as well as useless futuristic-technological effects, the work of Sherinian, who as a keyboardist in D.T. doesn’t quite fit!
‘Hell’s Kitchen’ is a truly beautiful and indisputable instrumental masterpiece, it’s definitely the best track on the album.

"Falling Into Infinity is a sunny album, direct but very deep."
"Hell's Kitchen is a fantastic instrumental piece that alone is worth all the good things said about the album."
By Dreamtheater
"Falling Into Infinity is the most criticized yet one of the best-selling works in their history."
"Hell's Kitchen brings back some excellent music, certainly the best thing on the album and among the most beautiful instrumentals made by the American quintet."

If you don’t like it, it means you are too traditionalist and not open to innovations.
An absolute masterpiece is the instrumental "Hell’s Kitchen": dreamy guitars and a good dose of virtuosity marked by excellent guitar solos.

"Trial Of Tears" reaches incredibly high peaks of emotion, leaving you with a feeling of emptiness.
"You Not Me" is, without exaggeration, one of the worst pieces ever written by Dream Theater.
