Dream Theater's Third Act Commences with 'Parasomnia'
Briefly

Dream Theater, a prominent prog-metal band, celebrated its 40th anniversary with the release of their new album, Parasomnia, on February 7. This marks a return of their most celebrated lineup, featuring vocalist James LaBrie, guitarist John Petrucci, bassist John Myung, drummer Mike Portnoy, and keyboardist Jordan Rudess. After Portnoy's departure in 2010, the band continued to flourish, but his return for this album promises a revival of their signature sound, emphasizing conceptual themes. Early reviews have praised Parasomnia for its engaging content and relevance to earlier works, and it quickly ascended the metal charts.
"One of the things that having Mike back in the band brought to us was a love for elements we've had in our albums in the past: conceptual connections and repeating themes."
"It all came together quickly as soon as we put our hands on our instruments and started playing together again like we used to."
