Ola Englund comments (excerpt)

Ola Englund: One of my favorite bands that I have been very influenced by, and influenced my playing a lot and my guitar playing style, is Dream Theater. And usually, a lot of people would probably say that they would pick Images And Words being their favorite album, but I just remember how I started listening to Dream Theater, because my dad brought me home a CD, Falling Into Infinity. And it’s the most non-Dream Theater CD of them all, but it still holds a special place in my heart. It’s probably one of the more beautiful albums, in my opinion.

I know John Petrucci was going through some rough times, and you can sort of hear that in the album. ‘Trial Of Tears,’ ‘Hell’s Kitchen,’ ‘Lines In The Sand.’ So many good songs on there, so many good solos. I mean, not downplaying any of the other Dream Theater albums. It just has a very special place in my heart because it was my first Dream Theater album. So yeah, Falling Into Infinity.
