• My Review

• This is Dream Theater's second album, and their first on ATCO Records.
• ATCO was bought out by Eastwest, Eastwest was bought out by Elektra, and Elektra was bought out by Atlantic.
• This is the first DT album to feature James LaBrie on vocals.
• The songs Don't Look Past Me. To Live Forever and A Change of Seasons were all cut from this album.
• "Pull Me Under", "Take The Time" and "Another Day" were all released as radio singles and music videos, although only "Pull Me Under" was successful.
• Pull Me Under was a top ten hit.
• Shortly after this album was released, the band released their 1^st EP, Another Day
• This was the first Dream Theater album to get Gold Certified.
• Metropolis had the "part one" tacked onto it as a joke by the band, there was never supposed to be a part 2. Part 2 was eventually written as a song for Falling Into Infinity, but wound up being expanded into the concept album Metropolis Pt 2: Scenes From a Memory.
• Learning to Live is the band's first officially released song to go over 10 minutes long.
• Wait for Sleep is the first DT song to be fully composed (both musically and lyrically) by one member, Kevin Moore.
• The liner notes have a note saying thanks to "Fatez Warning (just kidding!)". The band purposely misspelled Fates Warning as a joke after that particular band gave thanks to "Dream Theatre" on their debut album.
• There is a "swing" version of Under a Glass Moon called "Fly Me to the Glass Moon". The mp3 of this is available for download in the Weirdness Section
• The title of this album comes from the lyrics to the song Wait For Sleep.
• The cover art to this album has many elements that were each taken from lyrics from the songs. This concept was repeated for the next album, Awake.
• This is the first DT album to feature the band's name in their signature font.
• The "flaming sacred heart" icon was used again for Live at the Marquee and a variation was used for the banned cover of Live Scenes From New York.
• The "Majesty Logo" icon appears engraved on the bed's canopy.
• Pull Me Under was originally called "Oliver's Twist", Take The Time was originally called "Grab That Feel". Metropolis was originally called "Crumbling Metropolis", Under a Glass Moon was originally called "The Battle of Jimmy Cocoa and Fishface" and Learning to Live was originally called "Creep With Tonality".
• In 2002, DT celebrated the 10 year aniversary of this album by releasing Taste The Memories via the DTIFC
