Falling Into Infinity isn't even close to their best. I think you may actually enjoy them. As much as some people say they are, they aren't just technical wankery. The reason they play harder music is because they want to, and honestly guys, just because it's technically wanky doesn't mean the music is actually bad. When I think of a band that really sacrificed good music for hard music, I think of Emerson, Lake, and Palmer. And the bad half of Dream Theater isn't half as bad as the bad half of ELP.
And yes, I'll rec you some Dream Theater. In fact, since I recced you some Tool, I may give you an Opeth album as well. That way, you can hear the big three of prog metal, and decide which you like the best.

SUGGEST ME AN ALBUM - I'm probably not going to listen to it but I will if you bother me enough.
