I just reacquired Falling Into Infinity after getting rid of my copy years ago. I just started listening to it again, and I think it was mainly "You Not Me" that turned me off the album. We'll see how this listen goes.

Boy . . .
(Again- I have been reminded of how I felt about that DT album and watching the Vid . . .) That album had to grow on me but I ended up liking it alot! The song that I still cant listen to is "Burning my Soul", only for the reason that "Producer" (PRODUCER!!!???) "Kevin Shirley" wanted everyone to try "new things" and suggested that Petrucci try adding a "Voice Box" vocal in it ![]() Luckily, when they do it live, its nowhere to be found. This was pressure from the Label wanting DT to be more commercial and almost broke up the band. You can "see" all this on the excellent Vid "5 Years in a Livetime". Their were tracks that did not make the Album but are Bonus Tracks on the Japanese version (And can be found on the Club CD "Cleaning out the Closet"). Including a beautiful track called "Speak to me" and "Have I lost my mind" that are played live on the VHS/DVD

appeared as a "Demo Track"). "Speak to me" Live-5 Years in a Livetime: "Raise the Knife" -Cleaning out the Closet/Fanclub CD:
"Score DVD Live version" of same song- which I think is even better!: Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falling_into_Infinity Edited by MAVIIIVAM - 05 Jun 2012 at 1:31am |

Caress of Steel....love that album !!! But I picked Saxon Power & The Glory. That album blew me away back in 80something......The Eagle Has Landed...brutal song...I think I blew out some car speakers back in the day playing it so loud.

wow, so many good albums in the list - In through the out door, Ultimate Sin, Beat, Load, Carress of steel, Falling into Infinity to name a few. Hard to choose.

Quite a few good ones in there but I had to go with In Through the Out Door. Considering the issues in the band at the time it was essentially a JPJ solo album and taking it at that it's a pretty fucking good LZ album.
Of course, if Led Zeppelin is on the list I am going to choose them almost all the time.
With them out of the question I'd put Ultimate Sin slightly above Caress of Steel.

I'd re-vote if I could . . .
If I thought more about it, YES "Union" is really un-popular and I like it, especially all the "moody" songs, very "Night-time/Nocturnal". All the other albums I can see as more popular. But I never really liked "The Grateful Dead" and as a Megadeth fan since the beginning, I will NEVER like "Risk" no matter how much they re-mix it ![]() Saxon's "Power and the Glory" is a MUST for any Metal fan. And being a die-hard Rush-head, Caress of Steel is classic ![]() Edited by MAVIIIVAM - 05 Jun 2012 at 1:32am |

I voted for the Dream Theater over Caress Of Steel which I don't really consider underrated and is a staple in my listening over the last 35 years.

I went for Risk by Megadeth, have always liked it, yes it is
the oddball in their catalogue, but I think there are some really decent tunes
on there. While I quite like Load, personally I think Re-Load is the album of
that period that deserves the real criticism. To be honest I am more a fan of 80s Rush, but every since
the film, Beyond the Lighted Stage, I have always been meaning to go back to
Caress of Steel and reacquaint myself with it. Maybe I’ll do that tonight ... Edited by dark2711 - 02 Apr 2015 at 11:24am |
