First Ever Best-Of Spanning 1991-2005 22 Songs On 2CDs Featuring Rare Radio Edits, 3 New Re-Mixes, and Liner Notes 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. 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). " 22 songs spanning 14 years including 3 newly remixed versions of tracks from their 1992 breakout album. " Images And Words by Kevin Shirley (Led Zeppelin). " Divided into Disc 1, "The Dark Side" (metallic) and Disc 2, "The Light Side (melodic). " "The Dark Side" stand-outs include new remixes of "Pull Me Under" and "Take The Time" plus rare single edits of "Lie," "Home," and "Misunderstood." " "The Light Side" highlights includes a remix of "Another Day," an alternate mix of "Through Her Eyes," a single edit of "Solitary Shell" and "To Live Forever," a rare U.K.-only b-side from the single "Lie."

What Customers Say About Greatest Hit (...and 21 other pretty cool songs):

Although this CD gives a great representation of the bands entire career, you really must check out ALL of their work in order to fully appreciate them. For a first greatest hits album Dream Theater nailed it.The selection of songs is amazing. But I hope they never lose the ability.LONG LIVE DREAM THEATER. I don't know how they come up an album to top the last year after year. The mixes rock and it shows off the band for the prog gods they have become.For a band who couldn't care less about radio play, these guys have developed a fan base that most top 40 posers can only dream about. And they are incredible live.

i really like this cd, great music never heard of this band before. after reading reviews, i bought this cd.

every song is fantastic, excellent musicians. great sounding cd. it has heavy stuff and it has the more mellow songs.

pull me under track i believe was their first breakthrough hit in the early nineties. john petrucci is the guitarist, he also tours with satriani and vai. overall if you like dream theater you cannot goe wrong.

dream theater greatest hits is great if your new to the band. they have their own sound. when they do the g3 tour.

it really is a great collection of songs. i can see why they are very popular.

I'm a very big fan of dream theater and this compilation was very very good, although i wanted a few songs instead of others but it's pretty cool how they remastered songs.

Come on, even metal heads must cringe at this. No wonder there was only one greatest hit. Ok, so this written from the perspective of someone who isn't opposed to prog rock and listens to a fair amount of punk/hardcore/alternative but isn't really into heavy metal. Well, actually I was interested in the prog angle and have yet to come across a decent metal band. And no prog rock here either.Summary: Utterly forgettable. Reminds me of Metallica, probably because of the singing but less memorable and I don't really consider Metallica a very memorable band. No prog rock here and as "dark" as a day on the ski slopes.Impression of "light" side: Is this a joke.

Your little sister. Metal fans on Valium.

This double CD has a "dark" and a "light" side.Impression of "dark" side: Ok songs but nothing special, overproduced, probably technically brilliant. Who listens to this.

Why I bought this abomination I don't know. Sounds like Bon Jovi meets Europe (not the continent).

According to the other reviewers here the prog songs are missing here but going by this boring introduction I doubt that Dream Theater are anywhere in the same league as old Yes, old Marillion or old Pink Floyd even when they play their better songs. So Dream Theater being an innovative metal band crossing the boundaries sounded like a reasonable alternative to my usual fare.

Guess these songs are decent if you like metal.
