2009
Dream Theater's new album, Black Clouds and Silver Linings, was officially announced with the release of "A Rite Of Passage", a song, which quite frankly I didn't like at all. Nonetheless, I decided to humour it and give it another shot. I was proven wrong and the song made me happy. And so I heard about their album being leaked online. Although I intend to buy the album, I couldn't resist downloading it.
My first impressions:
A masterpiece.
Dream Theater's finest hour.
This being the band's 10th studio album, the Prog Rock group have gone all out for this. Strings, synths, you name it, they've got it. Brilliant album so far, "Wither" was a very powerful, serene track with a November Rain style solo amidst the powerful vocal performance of James LaBrie.
The Shattered Fortress provides a powerhouse metal track, starting much akin to Metallica's "Shortest Straw" from the album "...And Justice For All".
This album is metal as it should be:
Produced, Long, And Awesome.
