Dream Theater
Album : Systematic Chaos
Time : 535
Year: 2007
Comments : 2007 album from the Progressive Rock masters, their ninth studio album overall, Rooted in the virtuosic sounds the band is known for, the album features heavy riffs reminiscent of Metallica's earlier years, soaring melodies and intricate arrangements. With Systematic Chaos, Dream Theater have sought to not only appease their ever loyal fans with their remarkable musicality, but to also reach out to all Rock fans with hook-laden tunes like 'Constant Motion', 'Forsaken' and 'The Dark Eternal Night'. Co-produced by Mike Portnoy (drummer, vocals) and John Petrucci (guitarist) and mixed by Paul Northfield (Rush, Hole, Ozzy Osbourne), Systematic Chaos is an apt title for an album that ranges from parts ever so delicate to arrangements that beg the question, how do they do that? Dream Theater have delivered a seminal album that clearly shows the band is at the top of their game twenty years into their storied career. Roadrunner.
