But what is it, the advertisement for Pasta Agnesi?

But between Moscow and Reggio, I ask just to ask, what kind of flatulentiae persists in the air?

Fortunately, I'm too old to have grown up with this stuff. The man with the disco-ball-head-reflector I believe was Maurizio Seimandi.

Just to emphasize that stercodicavallopsichedelico is a wonderful name. Instead of no. Now Vùàr.

Stainless Giovannone (coscialung) A! I don’t have the slightest idea of what he’s talking about, but I’m glad he is. Rather not. P.S. This five is to be understood for all his previous DeRecenses and for all those (let's hope many) that he will want to share with us in the future. P.S.#2: the five in action, I’m sure you’ll agree, is only awarded to the records of DrimTiater.

[The Motivator - January 30, 2011] Well, here’s my review of the much-praised "Images And Words," an album considered a masterpiece of the world's most famous Progressive Metal band. I should note that I haven't listened to anything like this, except for Angra, and that my favorite band is the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but let’s see how I can express my impressions on the second album of the American quintet.
I start the album from the stereo, take a quick look at the booklet (quite empty but acceptable, come on).
Pull Me Under
The first track, Pull Me Under, kicks in. Eight minutes, here we go. The guitar starts, a rather ugly sound, oh well. The riff hits, atrocious drums, enough to decapitate yourself locked in the bathroom. Same goes for the guitar. The keyboards are barely audible. I don’t know if the much-praised bassist even exists. After half of the song, there's a break that could have been interesting, but instead ruins everything. Rating: 4.
Another Day
Ahah, pathetic start, pure commercialism. Then you hear the sax (probably the three musicians can’t do it on their own), ridiculous. The singer (LaBrey if I’m not mistaken) goes so high that it reaches a level of annoyance: yes, well done, but you and all your high notes are pathetic. Rating: 4.
Take The Time
Ridiculous beginning (the instruments sound completely out of time!) with very banal keyboards, then snippets from some movie, and then it’s singing time. LaBrey is pathetic again, the instrumentalists act all “we know how to play and you don’t, haha!”, but in the end, they don’t do anything interesting. The slow break is ruined once again by the voice. Finally, an endless ridiculous guitar solo. (I forgot to mention they copied the lyrics from an Italian film called “Grande Cinema Paradiso” from the twentieth century). Rating: 4.5.
Surrounded
Well, nice if it weren’t for the voice that is objectively pathetic and overly commercial. Good melody, salvageable guitar solo. Rating: 6.5.
Metropolis Pt. 1
AHAHAHAH, technique seems to dominate here. Too bad it’s ridiculous to listen to that crap. So much pity, so very much and again so much. Infinite cross solos between guitar and keyboard that are ridiculous. Well, the singer ruins again what little was redeemable (very little). Nonsensical lyrics (“lake of fire” ahahaha) thrown in just to fill. Rating: n/a.
Under A Glass Moon
I don’t want to comment on such a BANAL piece. Poor lyrics and music. Guitar solo that would make any musician with a hint of taste's hair stand on end. Rating: 3 (and I’m being generous).
Wait For Sleep
The only salvageable one; finally, the keyboardist avoids his useless and show-off solos. The singer is better than usual (let's say he's bearable). Rating: 7.
Learning To Life
Holy mother. What a mess. Lyrics almost salvageable, but TERRIBLE music. The usual tired stuff we’ve heard since the beginning of the album (all these references to the greats of 70s Prog Rock ruined by metal distortions are unbearable). My goodness, what a mess, what a mess! Enough. I’d like to stop halfway, but I continue out of journalistic honor. Then LaBrey tries to hit those high notes again and succeeds, but that “Oh oh ooooh” is ridiculous, as if we were at the Zecchino d’Oro. Towards the end, the melody “borrowed” from the previous track, completely ruined by this point of the song. Finally, a fade-out, the usual ploy when you don’t know how to get through. Rating: 3+ as encouragement.
In short, an OBJECTIVELY forgettable album, if not harmful, as well as one of the most overrated rock-metal albums of all time. What else to say? Rating: 4. They didn’t invent anything.

absolute, if not the most beautiful. The intro is very catchy, consisting only of the alternation of 3 chords, which progressively increase in sound. The song does not feature regular choruses, but rather verses that are obviously very different from each other, some sweeter, others decidedly more aggressive. The central part of the piece is almost entirely improvised, although very well thought out, including a spectacular tapping bass solo by the legendary John Myung, all brilliantly supported by the double bass drumming of Mike Portnoy, who holds the piece professionally. A masterpiece.
But the surprises don't end here, on the contrary... "Under A Glass Moon" is definitely another gem of the album, with its harmonized intro and the same ending, it only brings emotions, transitioning from psychedelic sounds to moments of hardness, an ungrabbable chorus in an elusive key, and another one of Petrucci's most successful solos. "Wait For Sleep" is like a moment of tranquility in a stormy sea, as its entire duration is completely acoustic and accompanied only by a piano. And now the grand finale: "Learning To Live", the longest track, over 11 minutes. What is there to say? Perfect, absolutely perfect. The piece is not just a simple song; it is an authentic work of art. It has not even a dull moment; it is captivating from start to finish. An intro with spacey sounds and a syncopated rhythm, the sweetness of the first verse, the unforgettable chorus, and the highly emotional central part, the reprise of "Wait For Sleep" towards the end of the piece, and the spine-chilling fading finale, make "Learning To Live" another classic by Dream Theater, unmissable in a collection of their best tracks.
Well, to conclude, I can say that Images And Words is undoubtedly the most mature and complete album in the Dream Theater repertoire, a record that all fans must have and ideal for a search for emotions that only Music can provide. I’m sure I’ll write more opinions about them and about other bands in the genre soon.
Hello everyone!

[Italian Dreamer - August 17, 2009, early afternoon] Hi, my name is Nicola, I’m almost 18 years old and for the past 5 years, I’ve been listening to rock and metal. I grew up with '70s progressive rock like Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, Genesis, Jethro Tull... until that fateful "Master Of Puppets" entered my ears, giving me the jolt that ignited my passion for heavy metal. Metallica were my favorite band until about a year ago, when I rediscovered the emotions that progressive music gave me, particularly through Dream Theater.
Well, after this brief introduction, let’s talk about an album I dare to consider one of the most beautiful, complete, and underrated of all time: "Images And Words," by the equally underrated Dream Theater. So, during a time when I wasn't a big supporter of the band, Dream Theater still piqued my curiosity. I heard many praises about them and listened to the chatter for a while. But then I realized I had to evaluate this band with my own ears before judging. So I listened to "Pull Me Under," which seemed to be considered a symbol of the band, and I was extremely impressed; that amazing intro, that initial riff, those melodic lines, the continuous changes of tempo, riff, melody, verses, those virtuosic guitar breaks before the chorus, and WHAT A CHORUS! WHAT SOUNDS!
Only later did I understand that this song didn't showcase all the progressive themes for which Dream Theater are known, but it still had that "something" I hadn't heard in other songs yet. So I couldn't help but listen to the album containing that song, which just happened to be the first track, allowing me to also enjoy the subsequent ones, starting with "Another Day," a stunning ballad, with one of the most beautiful vocal performances by James LaBrie and one of the most beautiful solos by John Petrucci. It begins with a piano and acoustic guitar passage, followed by a distorted and very melodic solo, which later gets reprised by a sax, until LaBrie delivers a very delicate vocal line, accompanied only by piano, and the drums only begin to play at the start of the second verse. The second chorus builds with a crescendo of vocals that then explodes with one of LaBrie's most memorable high notes, leading into a slightly more distorted section, yet without losing the harmonic thread of the song, and the famous guitar solo returns to the sweet initial style, becoming more aggressive as we approach the final chorus, with a sax solo completing everything in the most deserving manner.
But it was only after listening to the following "Take The Time" that I realized who Dream Theater were: a band that manages to encompass multiple music genres and heightened virtuosity while also being melodic; this song, like "Pull Me Under," features continuous changes of tempo and melody, but with an additional progressive influence. The verses are completely different from each other, both in style and arrangement, and they all revolve around the same (exceptional) chorus. The rest of the track consists of a series of harmonic scales from guitar and keyboard, sometimes in unison, sometimes separate, leading to the last chorus, after which a piano sequence opens the door to the final guitar solo. Now I understood that "something" was "Dream Theater." The next "Surrounded" starts off very gently, with the voice accompanied only by a string quartet and a few piano chords, which increases in tempo in the central part, where even some verses differ from each other. The guitar solo with delay is excellent. The beginning of the track reappears at the end, closing side A of the album.
Side B begins with the majestic "Metropolis Pt.1-The Miracle And The Sleeper," the most progressive track on the album and, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful songs by Dream Theater overall, if not the most beautiful. The intro is very catchy, made only of the alternation of 3 chords, which gradually increase in sound. The song does not have regular choruses, only verses that are ob
