 In this debut album, the influences of classic metal prevail, but there is already a good dose of progressive influences.

 A glaring missed masterpiece is 'The Ones Who Help To Set The Sun'... it transforms into a bland, repetitive and not very creative riff.

The sound quality and vocals differ from later works, but several tracks hint at their future virtuosity.

 "The result is the excellent 'Awake' – an album that confirms all the characteristics that contributed to making 'Images And Words' a big hit: technique, power, and expressive research."

 "'The Mirror' is perhaps the most powerful track of the album: obsessive and pounding rhythm, an almost thrash style, but without forgetting the melody."

Dream Theater's Awake successfully embraces a heavier, darker sound while maintaining the complex musicianship that defined their earlier work. The album features shorter, yet intricate tracks led by John Petrucci's pioneering seven-string guitar and atmospheric keyboard arrangements by Kevin Moore. Although Moore's style shifted and he soon left the band, the album remains a vital part of Dream Theater's discography. Standout tracks include '6:00,' 'The Mirror,' and 'Space Dye-Vest.' Dive into Dream Theater's Awake and experience a heavier, complex journey in progressive metal—listen now or read more about the album's legacy!
