Dream Theater - The AstonishingsteemCreated with Sketch.

in #music8 years ago

Dream Theater's 2016 release, The Astonishing, is a metal opera that takes place in outer space in the distant future. This opera format, broken up into two distinct parts, is a bit different from anything they have done in the past. Yet the dreamy, technical sound is absolutely perfected once again.

More Notes For Your Dollar

Dream Theater is widely regarded as some of the most complicated music ever written, recorded and performed. If you Google up who has the most complicated guitar solos, Dream Theater is usually number one and always somewhere in the top 10, no matter whose opinion you are reading. The drums are extreme and highly technical throughout as is the bass and keyboards. Every single bit of music is perfectly in tune and perfectly in time to the most notorious of details, just as we have learned to love from this band over the past 25 years.

The Astonishing is two hours and ten minutes long, spanning two Compact Discs, for a total of 34 tracks.

What is Heavy Metal Anyway?

The vocals are creative but never over the top or very complicated. There is no high pitched screaming or distorted grunts. It is not that sort of an album. While this is a form of Metal, the vocals are clear, legible and the entire album is rather easy to listen to. Many folks might not even call it Metal and there are all sorts of critics when it comes to "the Metal sound". I try not to pay too much attention to all of the differences and I just don't care what people think is true Metal, or fake Metal. After listening to the entire album through four or five times, I understand it, I feel it... I like this album and I dig this band.
