Greatest Hit (...And 21 Other Pretty Cool Songs)

Untitled

Greatest Hit (...and 21 Other Pretty Cool Songs) is an upcoming compilation album by progressive metal band Dream Theater to be released by Rhino Records on April 1, 2008. The title alludes to their only Top-10 radio hit, "Pull Me Under". It features three songs from their breakthrough album Images and Words remixed by Kevin Shirley: "Pull Me Under", "Take the Time", and "Another Day". It will also feature the song "To Live Forever", from the Images and Words sessions and B-side of the "Lie" single, which was previously unreleased on studio albums. Several single edits are also featured on this compilation.

The songs have been divided in two discs: the first one, dubbed "The Dark Side", features heavy, metal-influenced songs, while the second one, entitled "The Light Side", spotlights the band's melodic side. The set spans the years from 1991 to 2005, therefore it doesn't include any songs from Dream Theater's debut album, When Dream and Day Unite, or from their latest release, Systematic Chaos.
