A When Dream and Day Unite az amerikai progresszív metal-együttes, a Dream Theater első stúdiólemeze, amely 1989. március 6-án került először kiadásra a Mechanic Records által. A lemez felvételére 1988. nyarán került sor a Kajem/Victory Studios-ban, amely a pennsylvania-i Gladwyne-ben található. A When Dream and Day Unite a Dream Theater egyetlen olyan stúdiólemeze, amin Charlie Dominici az énekes.

Története[szerkesztés]

The band originally formed in 1986 by founding members John Myung, Mike Portnoy, and John Petrucci under the name Majesty, which was inspired by Portnoy's commentary on the ending of a Rush song. After the band found a keyboardist in schoolmate Kevin Moore, the band hosted auditions and settled on Chris Collins as the lead vocalist. While touring around New York, Collins left the band, and the band went through many lead singers before settling on the experienced lead vocalist Charlie Dominici.

The band, still titled Majesty, recorded The Majesty Demos in 1987, and shortly after was forced to change their name after another band threatened legal action if they did not change their name. Unable to come up with a replacement name for their band, Portnoy's father suggested the name Dream Theater, which was the title of a nearby movie theater for the name of the band. They adopted the name, and eventually signed their first contract to Mechanic Records.

With the relatively warm reception of their original demos, the band expected their debut album to be received with much fanfare and buzz, but the album went largely unnoticed by the music scene, and eventually led to Mechanic Records cutting their contract ties with the band, resulting in a small, club tour for the album only in the New York area. Due to tensions within the band and creative differences, Dominici left the band and they were without a lead singer for the next few years.

Limited Deluxe Edition[szerkesztés]

On March 12th, 2002, One Way Records released a deluxe limited edition digipak version of Dream Theater's debut album "When Dream And Day Unite". The album has been remastered using 32-bit technology. Only 10,000 copies of the limited edition were made available worldwide. These are numbered in gold foil. The CD itself is a picture disc. The 10,000 copies of the Limited Edition are sold out, and a regular jewel case version was released on April 9th, 2002.

When Dream and Day Reunite[szerkesztés]

On the 15th anniversary of the album, the current line-up of Dream Theater performed the album in its entirety in Los Angeles, California, and during two additional songs in the encore special guests Charlie Dominici and Derek Sherinian (both now former Dream Theater members) performed. The entire performance was recorded live and later released on CD and DVD under the title When Dream and Day Reunite through the band's independent label YtseJam Records. The album also featured a live version of "Metropolis Pt. 1: The Miracle and the Sleeper", which was originally from the album Images and Words, and a performance of a b-side called "To Live Forever".

Kereskedelmi és kritikai fogadtatás[szerkesztés]

The album did not receive much attention upon release, but due to Images and Words' commercial success, the album received critical reviews and criticism from many resources. The Metal Observer praised the album's creativity and vision, while both Allmusic and Sputnikmusic attacked the band's ability to actually write songs, despite them agreeing that some of their melodies are quite enjoyable.
