Despite essentially sticking to the same formula they’ve been employing since bringing on Jordan Rudess, Parasomnia still feels like a breath of fresh air. Maybe it's because this is their darkest, most guitar-driven album since Train of Thought. Maybe it’s the smattering of modern ideas or the way the songs manage to strike a perfect balance – structured enough to feel cohesive yet still bringing the intricate prog elements Dream Theater fans love. Maybe it’s a little of everything. Of course, Mike Portnoy’s return plays a major role, bringing his signature flair to both the drumming and songwriting. After nearly 15 years of middling releases, Parasomnia is a triumphant return to form – possibly their most creative, focused, and engaging work since Metropolis Pt. 2.

범작보다도 더 많은 명작을 가진 Dream Theater지만 이들의 앨범들 중에서도 최고 명반을 뽑으라면 아마 Images And Words, Metropolis Pt. 2, 그리고 본작이 뽑힐 것이다. Images And Words야 90년대 프로그래시브 메탈의 효시로 여겨지면서, 현재까지도 많은 사람이 가장 선호하는 작품으로 알려져 있다. Met... Read More

15년 전쯤 처음 DT에 입문하고서 대부분 말하는 것처럼 가장 듣기 어려웠던 게 Awake였고 그중에도 Lie 이후의 세 곡, Lifting shadows off a dream / Scarred / Space-dye vest 이 세 곡이 참 손이 안 갔었다. 시간이 흐르고 앨범은 가만히 있었는데 내가 바뀐거 같다.

드림씨어터의 2,3,5집은 누가 뭐래도 록 역사에 길이남을 매그넘 오푸스들이다. 찬성하든 안 하든 상관없다. 그 중에서 3집은 가장 덜 대중 친화적인 멜로디와 곡 전개를 가지고 있다. 그들의 공연 세트 리스트들만 봐도 알 수 있다. 하지만 나는 굳이 한 장을 고르라면 이 앨범이다. 일단 플... Read More
