Dream Theater. A name that is associated with the development of progressive metal like no other. This is also reflected in the new album of this iconic American formation: the band around frontman James LaBrie now releases a true masterpiece in terms of creative ambition, courage and, last but not least, artistic invention with the album "Dream Theater". Pure energy, a passionate pursuit of dynamics, melody and hard-hittingness form the four pillars and solid foundation on which Dream Theater have always stood and in which "Dream Theater" is rooted. Once again, the material is dominated by LaBrie's almost magical, unmistakable vocals, backed by Petrucci's equally distinctive guitar wizardry, John Myung's solid rhythm section, multi-instrumentalist Jordan Rudess' atmospheric keys and, of course, the essential drums of the great Mike Mangini. And so, as announced, "Dream Theater" is 100% Dream Theater, including a return to the sensory-confusing instrumentals the band is famous for. "Dream Theater" is the heaviest and most bombastic sound in Dream Theater history. Atmospheric, ethereal and unquenchably passionate on one hand, but equally genre-defining and above all timeless, Dream Theater still present themselves as notoriously converted to new horizons after more than 25 years. With their twelfth album, Dream Theater prove that they are one of the most exciting and innovative genre-bending acts whose pursuit of excellence and further evolution is unbreakable. Review. (Audio, October 2013) ,,... a blend of metal power and orchestral sound." (Stereo Play, October 2013) "Guitar fans will obviously enjoy Mangini's virtuoso drumming, but he doesn't come close to Maniac Portnoy. The sound is powerful, yet distinct from the speakers." (Good Times, December 2013 / January 2014)
