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 Queensryche 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.
