Dream Theater - The Astonishing (2016)

 

The 13th album from this band from USA.

The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards, synths and vocals.

The band was supported by narrator, choir and a symphonic orchestra.

The masters of progressive metal released their thirteenth album and we were all full of joy..

... Until we heard the music.

This album is a two CDs double album clocking in at one hundred and thirty minutes.

The music is some sort of a mix of prog metal and mostly symphonic prog. Some sort of symphonic prog which clearly has moved well into the concept and rock opera album genre.

The music is very light and fluffy. The vocals is very sugar sweet and so is the music too. There is far too much sugar and sweetness on this album.

The music is poor on this album. There are some rays of sunshine here. But there is not many of those.

This is a decent album and one I will never play again in my house/office.
