The 14th album from this band from USA.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
Dream Theater went it alone and without any choirs and symphony orchestras on this album. This after the previous album which did them no good.
Distance Over Time is Dream Theater undressed and pretty naked.
That means more guitars and more keyboards..... and more vocals.
The vocals is really good here and James LaBrie has not disgraced himself here.
The music is now also pretty much pure progressive metal with a lot of guitars and keyboards solos.
The music is rather heavy. It is still pretty progressive. It is progressive, indeed.
This one hour long album is a pretty big improvement on The Astonishing and a bit of a comeback album. A comeback to their roots and to no-nonsense progressive metal.
There are no outstaning tracks here and the band is still far below the standards they set last century. This is still a good album and I am positive surprised. Maybe there is hope for this band.... Maybe....
