The estimate was based on one-day sales reports compiled after the record arrived in stores on September 24 via Roadrunner. This was roughly in line with the first-week tally registered by its predecessor, "Systematic Chaos" , which shifted 36, copies in to enter the chart at No. Speaking to Ultimate-Guitar. One of the things I really wanted to do on 'A Dramatic Turn of Events' was to create something that was sonically very rich and high-def and powerful and I think we accomplished that.
But on this album, I wanted to take that even further…. I wanted a bigger, more forward in-your-face kind of sound. I think that kind of dictated the sounds we went for while we were writing and recording and then ultimately how it was mixed. So yeah, it was kind of building on that, but taking it to the next level. You always need to progress and to try and do something different and kind of have a little bit different take on it and a different perspective.
But hopefully make it better as you go. It's the band's second album with drummer Mike Mangini , and the first one on which he was a part of the writing process from Day One. In January, Petrucci said of Mangini 's work: "When people hear the drumming on this album, they're gonna be pretty freaked out. On the last album, he did a great job, but he wasn't there for the writing process and he was interpreting drum parts that I had programmed. Even though he used his creativity, of course, to change them up and do his thing, I feel like now he's just Mike Mangini unleashed.

Barstool Warrior 5. Room 6. S2N 7. At Wit's End 8. Out Of Reach 9. Pale Blue Dot Viper King. In , prog metal progenitors Dream Theater issued the minute conceptual opus The Astonishing, which all but left metal behind to pursue a classic prog direction.
Widely acclaimed by mainstream rock media, it proved divisive among fans and the metal press. Whether they admit it or not, DT took note. When it was time to record for new label Inside Out, they collectively decamped to a rural spot and lived together for the four months it took to write and record Distance Over Time. Ultimately, they took full measure of their history together and made a nearly complete U-turn, heading mostly back to basics for an injection of inspiration and renewed force.
First single and opener "Untethered Angel" is classic Dream Theater, offering an abominably heavy riff from bassist John Myung and guitarist John Petrucci. James LaBrie's clean vocals soar above Jordan Rudess' driving organ and synth and Mike Mangini's thundering double kick drums. It's replete with time and tempo changes. Musically, "Barstool Warrior" and "Out of Reach" could have been part of The Astonishing though they wouldn't fit its subject matter.
It delivers a kaleidoscopic range of prog metal tenets with frenetic polyrhythms, screaming guitar and keyboard solos, chugging bass, and emotive, soulful vocal refrains. The eight-and-half-minute "Pale Blue Dot" is another. Using Carl Sagan's phrase for describing earth from space, it commences with an ambient sci-fi intro that balances intense heaviness, knotty, time-stretching progressions, near-symphonic bombast, a taut hook, a foreboding chorus, and killer solos from Petrucci and Rudess that aggressively engage counterpoint.
Vintage-era Deep Purple were a big influence on Dream Theater.
