A VIEW FROM THE TOP OF THE WORLD

Dream Theater was the band that introduced me to progressive metal and rock around 25 years ago. It was my favorite band thanks to Images and Words, Awake, Metropolis Pt 2.

But then, they stopped trying to innovate and returned to the formula that provided them a safe place in the prog metal scene and secured them with a faithful fanbase. And they have stuck to their formula for 8 albums. 8 albums with the same musical ideas, same movements, same recycled themes, same solos again and again...
