[edit] Take the Time

Who does the background vocals in Take the Time? The part in the choruses where you can hear "It's time to take the time" in the background, specifically.

Sounds like Labrie to me. --Rp81 20:50, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, nobody is listed in the liner notes as "backing vocals", so I would have to assume as well that it was Labrie. 65.100.179.145 21:46, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Take the time length

Does anybody know something about a longer "Take the Time" (about 18 minutes)???

Err, on the Images Tour they would perform a 12-13 minute version of the song, with the intro to The Mirror at the start and a jam at the end of the song. The performance can be found on Images and Words: Live in Tokyo. --Mintyhead 05:16, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Extra pages?

Do we really needs the extra pages for "Take the Time" and "Under a Glass Moon" when all it says is the track number and appearances? Seems like a bit of waste without any kind of trivia or song info.

Leave 'em there. I will fill out a little information on the lyric themes. InnocuousFox 15:22, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Learning to Live - sep page please

Would someone who knows how better than me put together a new page for "Learning to Live". I need to put in some info about the song and the theme but don't want to butcher the standard formatting. Thx. InnocuousFox 15:25, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Instrumental Info

The article states that this album was the first until Octavarium that did not include an Instrumental song. This is false. Six Degrees of Inner Trubulence does not have an instrumental song either. Should be fixed.06:58, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Technically it's the first until Octavarium that doesn't have an instrumental track - because Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence is track broken, Overture could be considered a separate instrumental song. It's somewhat unclear whether Six Degrees is meant to be 8 songs forming a suite or just one massive song, particularly given that it was released on Score as a single 40-min track. I'm tempted to say the latter, as it would mean Six Degrees (album) has six songs on it, which seems appropriate. Raelthelamb 08:10, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Magnum Opus

Rather than finding a citation for that statement (which seems extremely difficult - wouldn't it have to be a huge poll of DT fans?), I'm for removing it alltogether. Largely because from my experience the majority of fans would say Scenes from a Memory, and also because DT are one of those bands where every album is somebody's favourite.

I agree 100% Docta247 08:45, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
Yep. Very subjective. Kill it. InnocuousFox 15:45, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Any chance we can also kill the "considered a seminal release" statement? I *love* I&W, but that kind of unsourced and POV statement sticks in my throat :-\ Docta247 16:07, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Producer

Is David Prater, the producer of this album, the same person as the David Prater the article links to?

obviously not, as that prater died some 4 years before the album was released. I'll just remove the link. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.44.46.30 (talk) 02:27, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Dream Theater - Images and Words.jpg

Image:Dream Theater - Images and Words.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
