Images and Words is Dream Theater's second studio album and, without exaggeration, one of the key releases in the formation of progressive metal as a genre. Released in 1992, the album was not only a breakthrough for the band, but also set a new standard for combining technical virtuosity, melodiousness and emotional depth.
This is the first album with vocalist James LaBrie, whose wide range and clear, almost theatrical singing style perfectly complemented the band's complex instrumentation. It is with Images and Words that Dream Theater begins to sound ‘like Dream Theater’ in the full sense of the word.
