However, much like a rising rocket, Dream Theater has jettisoned sections in stages, and unfortunately fan support along the way. It could only perhaps be compared to Rush, in that despite never quite breaking into the platinum and radio stratosphere, the band enjoys a rabid and devoted fan following. After thirty years and thirteen albums (now fourteen), and huge tour attendance, this is no passing fad. Since 1989’s impressively ambitious debut, and 1992’s landmark Images and Words, Dream Theater’s rise to prog and metal stardom has been not only meteoric, but permanent as well. If there is one artist near to the Sonic Perspectives readership wheelhouse, requiring little if any introduction, it would be prog-metal reigning monarchs Dream Theater, complete with Majesty.
