Notes:

A Change of Seasons is an EP by progressive metal band Dream Theater, released in 1995. 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.

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—at 57:31, it is much longer than a standard EP, or, indeed, many LPs. In fact, it is longer than Dream Theater's first two albums. Mike Portnoy has said "It was important for us and the label for it not to be perceived as the latest studio record. That's why we tagged it an EP."

David Rosenthal: "Prior to the recording of this album, I was asked to become a bandmember of Dream Theater. I was unavailable because I was touring with Billy Joel at that time. However, I was able to make time to do some synthesizer programming on this EP."
