PARASOMNIA

I had the opportunity to see Dream Theater live twice, together with Mangini and with Portnoy. It's an amazing band live. I've been listening to Dream Theater since 1993. The first album that bought me was Awake. Maybe their best album until Scenes From A Memory pt.2. Images And Words is also one of their most iconic. I have positive divided opinions on the Parasomnia album both from the technical and artistic aspect. A very well thought out album in every way. The artistic side does not lag behind the previous albums. In fact it is very fresh, aggressive thru out the tracks, and it is conceptual as they announced. Songs have an inflow of melody and harmony from one song into the next, which hints at mysterious passages that only they play originally and in a way that is acceptable to everyone WHO KNOWS DT very well. The album has quite a dark note, which I personally like the most. That's where they bought me the most. I wouldn't want to single out a song by song because this music album must be viewed as a whole concept of collected dreams, nightmares and the consequences of bad conditions during dreams. So they've set their sights on where they've always wanted to go and to be, and that's to really be Dream Theater as a whole collective. Portnoy is back in the big gates and they really are playing better than ever. The rating is definitely almost 5
