{"product_id":"dream-theater-images-and-words-clear","title":"Dream Theater - Images And Words [Clear]","description":"\u003cp\u003eProg metal found its blueprint on Images And Words, Dream Theater's 1992 breakthrough, now pressed on clear 140 gram vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe band's second album was their first with singer James LaBrie, and it arrived in a grunge-dominated era carrying technical ambition to spare. Against the odds, Pull Me Under became a radio and MTV hit, introducing a mainstream audience to odd time signatures, virtuoso solos and songs that stretched well past the eight-minute mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduced by David Prater, the record balances muscle with melody. Pull Me Under rides a brooding, Hamlet-quoting riff, Take The Time flexes funky grooves and dazzling interplay, and Metropolis, Pt. 1: The Miracle And The Sleeper packs enough twists to inspire a full sequel seven years later. Learning To Live closes with sweeping, symphonic ambition, while John Petrucci's guitar and Kevin Moore's keyboards trade lines with jaw-dropping precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDecades on, it remains the gateway record for countless prog fans and a benchmark for musicianship in heavy music. Plenty of bands have tried to match its blend of soaring hooks and instrumental fireworks, but few have managed it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn clear vinyl, the pressing looks as striking as the playing sounds, a fitting home for one of the most influential albums in progressive metal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67762481234210,"sku":"603497821570","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/2080\/8994\/files\/Dream_Theater-Images_And_Words_Clear.jpg?v=1794315250","url":"https:\/\/soulfulvinyl.com\/products\/dream-theater-images-and-words-clear","provider":"Soulful Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
