Our Take

Dream Theater's "Train of Thought" is a wild ride through prog's wildest fantasies, a rollercoaster of intricate instrumentals and soaring vocals that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about music. The band's virtuosic musicianship is on full display here, with mind-bending solos and complex time signatures that will have you reaching for your air guitar in no time.

From the epic opener "As I Am" to the breathtaking closer "In the Name of God," Dream Theater takes listeners on a journey through the outer reaches of musical possibility. The band's technical prowess is unmatched, with each member shining brightly in their own right. Lead singer James LaBrie's vocals are as powerful as ever, soaring over the intricate arrangements with ease.

But what really sets "Train of Thought" apart is its sheer audacity. This is a band unafraid to push the boundaries of what prog can be, blending metal, jazz, and classical influences into a heady brew that is equal parts exhilarating and exhausting. Tracks like "Endless Sacrifice" and "Honor Thy Father" showcase the band's ability to marry complex arrangements with emotional depth, creating a listening experience that is as intellectually stimulating as it is emotionally resonant.

In the end, "Train of Thought" is a testament to the enduring power of progressive music, a genre that continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in the world of rock. Dream Theater may not be for everyone, but for those willing to take the plunge, this album is a thrill ride unlike any other. All aboard the prog train!
