Dream Theater - Falling Into Infinity


All I know is that everyone in Dream Theater is a tremendously gifted musician, and despite the difficulties they made a fine album with Falling Into Infinity.And as we obviously know that John Petrucci, John Myung, and Mike Portnoy are incredible musicians.They bring "Take Away My Pain" is another ballad, and another beautiful song that I loved.This was the turning-the-clock-around album for Dream Theater. Mike Portnoy said that this album nearly killed Dream Theater because the record company wanted them to make a commercial album.Mike Portnoy says that the recording of Falling Into Infinity almost broke the band up. Pressures from their record company to make a commercially appealing album were teeming here, evidenced by some very commercial rock songs and some standard ballads. I despise it when a record company tells you what to do, but Dream Theater compromised.This album has gotten a lot of negative response because, apparently, it's their commercial album. Well, don't take that too seriously, because aside from a few weaker songs this album is frigging amazing.
