Purchase options and add-ons

No other band has affected modern progressive metal as deeply or widely as American quintet Dream Theater. Formed at Berklee College of Music as Majesty in 1985 by guitarist John Petrucci, drummer Mike Portnoy, and bassist John Myung, the group has spent thirty years repeatedly pushing new boundaries and reinventing their identity. Although other acts - such as Queensrÿche and Fates Warning - paved the way for the prog-metal subgenre, Dream Theater were without doubt the first to meld influences from both metal and progressive rock into a groundbreaking blend of quirky instrumentation, extensively complex arrangements, and exceptional songwriting. Whether subtly or overtly, they've since left their mark on just about every progressive metal band that's followed. In this book, Jordan Blum examines virtually all Dream Theater collections, and their behind-the-scenes circumstances, to explore how the group distinctively impacted the genre with each release. Whether classics of the 1990s like Images and Words and Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory, benchmarks of the 2000s like Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence and Octavarium, or even thrilling modern efforts like A Dramatic Turn of Events and Distance Over Time, every sequence of albums contributes something crucial to making Dream Theater's legacy nothing short of astonishing.

2.0 out of 5 stars Purely subjective with minimal objectivity
Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2022
I received this book as a gift from someone who knows I’m an avid fan of DT. This book is filled with the writer’s opinions, with the absolute bare minimum facts. The writer’s descriptions of songs are unusual, and given that most, if not all songs, are readily available for the public to listen to, I wonder the need for this book. If you are a fan and want a book that has facts and details, without minimal subjectivity from the writer, check out Rich Wilson’s book, “Lifting Shadows”.

The author is Jordan Blum who also wrote the Jethro Tull book in this series. Had I known this I wouldn't have bought the Dream Theater book as his descriptions of many tracks are baffling or excruciatingly bad, almost hilarious at times.
