Dream Theater
"Octavarium"
|
Dream Theater has maintained a rare combination of stellar musicianship and unwavering passion for over a decade, selling millions of albums and filling concert venues worldwide. The band once again confirms its status as progressive hard rock's standard-bearers on their latest studio epic, "Octavarium". "Panic Attack" is a blazer - a fast paced number that grabs you by the throat and throttles you for eight minutes. The closing, 24-minute title track was described by Jedd Beaudoin, " As the sound of a progressive rock orchestra delivering one more classic epic symphony, one more that lengthens this unit's ever-long prime." Digest that - will ya! "Octavarium" is another essential pickup for Petrucci and DT fans.
