Falling into Infinity is the fourth studio album by influential American progressive metal band Dream Theater, released in 1997. It was recorded in 1997 at Avatar Studios in New York, a return from their previous album, which was recorded in England. It continued the more progressive metal sound Awake started, but to much less critical and commercial acclaim. It is also the last studio album to feature keyboardist Derek Sherinian. LaBrie's limited vocal range after rupturing his vocal cords is shown on the album, with most of the vocals being in the lower range, in contrast to earlier releases, which were often high-pitched.

History
Despite Awake's relative success, the band was not quite happy with its darker sound, which resulted in the band going back to New York to record their new album. The record label pressured the band to write a more commercial album, much to the band's dismay. It was originally intended to be a 140-minute double album, but the record label refused to release such an album and even recruited Desmond Child to help the band re-write "You Not Me", which was originally titled "You Or Me", to make it more commercial.

Unhappy with the record label's meddling, this would be the last album to feature a traditional producer. Later albums would be produced from within due to the band's unhappy result of Falling Into Infinity. The album is also only one of the few Dream Theater albums to not feature the band's iconic font, as a result of graphic artist Storm Thorgeson's refusal to work with fonts other artists had made.[citation needed] The only other Dream Theater album to contain a different font is their debut When Dream and Day Unite.

A Change of Seasons is a 1995 EP by progressive metal band Dream Theater. Other than Live at the Marquee, this is the only EP release by Dream Theater. It comprises the 23-minute title track and a collection of bonus live covers performed at a fan club concert at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club in London, England. The title track includes samples from the film Dead Poets Society. The lyrics are about the death of Mike Portnoy's mother. Also, this is the first Dream Theater release featuring Derek Sherinian on keyboards.

An edited version of the title track was used in a downhill skiing feature during the 2002 Winter Olympic Games.

Note that this is considered an EP only in name - it is actually over 50 minutes in length, which is much longer than a standard EP, and longer than many LPs as well. The EP itself is actually longer than Dream Theater's own first two studio albums. (Quoted from Wikipedia)
