A Tale of Dream Theater's Train of Thought | 20th Anniversary
10PORTNOY IS BACK!
On November 11th, 2003, progressive metal band Dream Theater released their 7th studio album, Train of Thought. Since its release, the record has been a source of debate amongst the fanbase. Some shied away from its heavier approach while others embraced it. Most importantly, a new wave of metal fans discovered Dream Theater with this album and have been supporters of the band since. I was one of them! My name is Aaron, bringing you a look back at the record that helped me discover my favorite band of all times. This is A Tale of Dream Theater's Train of Thought.
RIP Howard Portnoy (Mike's father) and Jerry Uelsmann.
