As previously reported After recently celebrating the band's 20-year anniversary, Dream
Theater returns with its first-ever best-of collection. Spanning
1991-2005, the two-disc set contains rare single edits, B-sides and a
trio of new remixes that spotlight that band's nonpareil musicianship,
complex arrangements and amazing songwriting. Dream Theater's GREATEST
HIT (…& 21 other pretty songs) will be available from Rhino on
April 1 at all physical retail outlets and www.rhino.com for a
suggested retail price of $19.98 and at all digital retail outlets for
a suggested retail price of $12.99.
Referring to Dream Theater's first and only major radio hit, "Pull Me
Under," the compilation's tongue-in-cheek title is a testament not only
to the band's sense of humor but also highlights the acclaimed New
York-based quintet's ability to make music and cultivate a legion of
fans on its own terms, without help from radio or MTV. The collection
features more than two hours of progressive hard rock from James LaBrie
(vocals), John Myung (bass), John Petrucci (guitar/vocals), Mike
Portnoy (drums/vocals) and Jordan Rudess (keyboards).
The
collection contains three newly remixed versions of tracks from Dream
Theater's breakout 1992 album, Images And Words: the aforementioned
"Pull Me Under" as well as "Take The Time" and "Another Day." Portnoy
says this album presented the perfect opportunity to give the songs a
bit of a facelift. "The original mixes always sounded a bit '80s' to
me, so we had our good friend and longtime mixer Kevin Shirley give the
tracks a bit of an update to sound more like the rest of the Dream
Theater catalog. The songs remain the same (no pun intended—Kevin just
mixed that album as well), but there are little nuances in the tracks
that I forgot were originally there, and it's very cool to hear them
again."
The collection's 22 songs are split evenly between two
discs, which are divided into "The Dark Side" (the metallic) and "The
Light Side" (the melodic). Filled with some of the band's most sinister
sounds, the first disc lives up to the billing of "The Dark Side."
Longtime fans will appreciate the abundance of alternative versions of
classic tracks, including single edits of "Lie," "Home," and
"Misunderstood." Disc One concludes with two tracks from the band's
2005 album Octavarium: "The Root Of All Evil" and "Sacrificed Sons."
The
second disc, "The Light Side," spotlights the band's melodic side and
features an alternate mix of "Through Her Eyes," a single edit of
"Solitary Shell" and "To Live Forever," a 1994 B-side from the
U.K.-only single of "Lie."
A grassroots phenomenon for 20 years,
Dream Theater continues to record studio albums acclaimed for
award-winning musicianship as well as artistic vision. To meet the
demands of a demanding global fan base, the band also maintains an
active touring schedule that regularly includes sold-out performances
around the world.
Dream Theater has currently been on the road
since June 2007, traveling the globe in support of their latest studio
album Systematic Chaos. Their world tour will conclude with a final run
throughout North America in May as they premiere their "Progressive
Nation" package tour with Opeth, Between The Buried And Me, and 3
supporting.
