Dream Theater 'Distance Over Time'
:character-beavisbutthead:
What's the verdict?
It's certainly more accessible, a reminder of early albums like 'Images and Words'. Solid band, nice clear recording and production.

It Rocks!
I think it is a solid Dream Theatre album. "The Astonishing" was something of a one off.
