This isn’t exactly a straight forward prog metal album. Yes the album is completely different, but it moves like an actual Opera. I’m sorry but I’ve listened to this three times and I’ve been a fan since Scenes came out and I have to say this is the best DT album ever made. You can’t beat Metropolis, Take the Time, ETC ETC ETC Reply I was actually gonna go see DT perform this new album live, but I WON’T. If you wanted reasons to buy an album from indie prog metal bands, instead of buying this album, look somebody’s band on Soundcloud or something, and buy their music. Gift of Music – Moment of Betrayal – Lord Nefarious (I guess) – Our new World -Astonishing ? (I guess?) Yes, they deserved the right to do whatever they want, but boy oh boy, I know you can’t ask for another Metropolis, or Scenes of a Memory, of SDOIT (A lot of examples), but when doing this, you realize they grew up from their own tastes, which is ok because they are the composers, not their own fans, but it’s just awful.

This is not Prog Metal, is it Rock perhaps? I guess, and BEFORE YOU CALL ME CLOSE MINDED, consider than DT saying “This album will be different”, isn’t the same that “This album will be good and shame on you if you don’t like it” Michael Jackson wanted to do it with the Bad album, Quincy Jones told him NO.ģ4 songs for album is and WAS overkill, they tried, yes, BUT THEY FAILED SO HARD I feel bad for those who preordered the album. If you force yourself to compose 30 something songs for a single conceptual album, you risk quality over quality BIG TIME, and that’s exactly what happened, Octavarium, for example, has 8 songs, and it’s overall good, now you want me to quote Image and Words or Awake?, classic masterpieces with the right amount of tracks. Rolling Stone touted the legendary collection as “…the birth of a new era in the band’s career.” The extraordinary chart position marked the group’s third consecutive top 10 debut, and also saw "DREAM THEATER" making top 5 chart debuts in Japan, Germany, Italy, Canada, Argentina, Switzerland, Holland, and Finland, as well as top 10 debuts in Denmark, Austria, and Norway, with career high debuts in the United Kingdom and Australia.

The new material will follow 2013’s worldwide smash album “DREAM THEATER,” which earned a second Grammy nomination for the band, topping Billboard’s “Hard Rock Albums” while simultaneously entering at #7 on the Billboard 200. The European tour comes in anticipation of Dream Theater’s forthcoming album which is expected to arrive in early 2016.
