I've recently acquired Cleaning Out the Closet through means which can't be mentioned here, so I've been into that. Especially The Way it Used to Be and Cover My Eyes. Which reminds me of a funny story (about how I originally discovered DT): Years ago I used to post on the Metallica boards and everyone was always talking about what a badass guitar player some band called Dream Theater had. I decided to hit up Kazaa or whatever P2P was hot at the time and check out what was described as their new extremely awesome heavy song called The Glass Prison. So I downloaded a file titled "The Glass Prison" by Dream Theater. After a listen I was blown away by the guitar playing; considering that I idolized Kirk Hammett at the time this should be no surprise. However, I absolutely hated the song and thought the band completely sucked. I immediately deleted it and wrote them off. Eventually I revisited the Dream Theater idea by getting Images and Words and have been hooked ever since. But I always wondered about that song I downloaded, because when I eventually bought 6DOIT I discovered that TGP was definitely not the song that I downloaded, but the singer was certainly JLB. Well, turns out it was Don't Look Past Me, and coming from a metal background I can understand why I hated it so much at first. But now I kinda like it, it's weird how musical tastes change over time.
