Limited Edition Collector's Box Set!
180g Vinyl Double LP, 7" Vinyl, CD, DVD-A & USB!
The Powerful Self-Titled Album Featuring "The Enemy Inside"!
Dream Theater hit 2013 with a bang with their self-titled collection. Offering the perfect balance of digital and physical music, the metal stalwarts present the crown jewel in their eponymous collection: the Limited Edition Collector's Box Set.
The nine-track disc, produced by John Petrucci, was recorded at Cove City Studio in Glen Cove, Long Island and the first time anyone will experience the Mike Mangini completely unleashed on record.
The custom boxset features exclusive artwork by Juno Award winning artist, Hugh Syme. The box contains:
Custom 2GB USB stick in the shape of the Majesty Symbol
Exclusive 7" of "The Bigger Picture" on clear vinyl, wrapped and sealed with a custom wax seal
Gel-skin iDots of Majesty symbol for the iPhone
2-Disc embossed Deluxe Edition digi which includes bonus disc of 5.1 audio mix and expanded packaging
180g 2LP embossed gatefold vinyl
Includes limited time download of the album as high quality FLAC files
The technically proficient guitar playing of John Petrucci elevated Dream Theater to the upper echelons of contemporary heavy metal. While its lineup has continuously evolved, the Long Island-based quintet has consistently delivered sharp-edged music. Dream Theater is known for its high-energy concert performances.
Dream Theaters tenth studio album, Black Clouds & Silver Linings (Roadrunner Records), was released on June 23, 2009. It entered the U.S. Billboard 200 at #6 and Eurochart Hot 100 at #1, marking their highest entry on either chart. Black Clouds & Silver Linings - a highlight of their 25-year career - was praised by Mojo magazines Paul Elliott: their lofty ideals remain intact. By modern criteria, Black Clouds & Silver Linings is as highbrow as The Mars Volta, as grandiose as Muse and as heavy as Metallica.
"The first introductory strains of the 'False Awakening Suite,' which kick off Dream Theaters new self-titled album... seems to actually transport the listener into a theater. Images come to mind of the lights going down in some wildly ornate medieval house of drama, the orchestra has signaled the overture, and it is time for the massive sweep of something liberating, powerful and profound to roll forth... Dream Theater pushes the envelope into some new musical dimension, a cosmic realm reserved for the best. The band also seems to be expanding their appeal beyond the faithful with some punchy, stylish and tuneful songs that seduce immediately. Good thing, too. Because the more people that can hear an album like this, the more faithful there will be. Sure, thats good for Dream Theater. But its also good for music." - Chris Epting, Loudwire, Rated 4.5/5 Stars
