I thought this as well. Its telling that mike has left now, and for their most recent(and one of their best records) that the band has gone back to the writing that john suggests here. Mike is looking at this like a job of touring and recording in the studio, but ultimately you could tell with the next few albums that this recording approach led to a formulaic outcome.

Yeah that was really interesting. You could feel the sincerity in John Myung's voice when he reflected on the past vs how they wrote music later on. ...and then Mike Portnoy makes fun of him calling it a therapy session. Sure there was some tension, because JM was suggesting the passion was gone out of their writing. So I can see the need to smooth that over. But I agree this seems to show MP's dynamic in the band and reason why at least a few of the members didn't beg him to stay in 2010.

This commentary really confirms my suspicion that John Myung is only playing a character (silent, reserved guy) when on video. I thought that privately, he's actually a goofy guy. I read one text interview in which the interviewer described Myung as a 'chatty' person which I didn't believe at first, but now I see that it could be true.

If he is playing a character, he's been doing so since the late 80's, maybe even since he met MP. Which would make him a genius and visionary.

Very cool to hear Myung being so vocal and present during this commentary.

1:11:08 JP : Really tickling the ivories! JR : That's my approach to this solo, just gentile kind of tickle. MP : Tickle me, Jordan!

48:40 “that’s some powerful background singing right there” 😂😂😂

So...I saw them on this tour. As the commentary states: This was in 2004, celebrating the 15-year anniversary of their debut release. As I post this in 2019, as much time from debut-to-reunion has ALREADY passed between the reunion and this comment. Holy f*ck.

Its my favorite album believe it or not lol

Charlie sounded pretty good on stage, but from his movement and stage presence, you could tell he had been out of the game for a while. But what an awesome show that would've been at.

"I don't think we'll be celebrating anniversaries of albums." Meanwhile, 2014 and 2020 live albums have SFoaM almost full playthroughs.

Portnoy music knowledge is amazing!

32:38 "this song's pretty progressive." ...well, fancy that!

God damn Charlie was killing it. I don't really think his voice fits well with metal not that Images and Words are strictly metal but his voice got a more 70's prog rock feel. He does hit those notes super clean though. If we got his skills with Labries gritty and powerful voice we would be on to a keeper.

I would kick a kitten if Russell Allen did vocals for just one song. I’d love to hear his style. Nothing against James LaBrie because when he’s on, the dude is ON (like on “Score”). People give him a lot of shit for his mistakes live, but JP has turned in some below-his-standard performances too and he doesn’t get near as much crap for it.

I was at the Ritz show, I might have brought this CD at the show.

Do a reunion like this but with Mike Mangini sharing the kit with Portnoy

I think when dream and day unite sounds fine

I find it interesting that JM wanted to go back to the basics with DT recording style back when I believe this is when SC was being recorded.
