Dream Theater - The Astonishing (new concept album/rock opera)
http://www.rollingstone.com/music/al...shing-20160129
http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/dre...e-astonishing/ I'm loving this new album. Took me a couple listens to really get into it but is is well worth a listen. It is a concept album or a rock opera type of album, if you will. Check the Rolling Stone piece for a description. It is 2 discs and 34 songs, over 2 hours of music. They are doing a tour this Spring as an Evening With type of show that will be only this album in its entirety. The thing that sucks is that I don't see any KC dates. Oh well, if a trip to Denver or Minneapolis is what I have to do then so be it. https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news...s_i_enjoy.html (Interview on Ultimate Guitar with John Petrucci - lots of info on the making of the new album) Last edited by Lzen; 02-01-2016 at 01:27 PM.. |

Here is a quick opinion:
Never been a DT fan due to LaBrie... but his vocals on this album actually make me comfortable enough to listen! This could be a soundtrack, or a broadway musical. It's a masterpiece really. |

This is the first DT record I've liked since Portnoy left.
PS - his Winery Dogs album is pretty baller as well.

That being said, the the first album after Portnoy left is one of my all time favorite DT albums. Also, I enjoy Winery Dogs, too.
