Dream Theater - Systematic Chaos
Yes, I do buy (good) music, nowadays. My “special edition” of Dream Theater’s latest album, “Systematic Chaos”, has arrived today by mail. It features a documentary with the “making of” the album, filmed and directed by Mike Portnoy himself. I confess I had already listened to the album many times (sorry, guys, I could not resist…) Its heavy tone and lyrical quality impress me very much.
I love it when Mike hits an high note in the back vocals of “Prophets of War”, and says something like “that was really Roger Taylor!” And then, seconds after, “I really feel more Queen coming up… this ‘woooooaaaaa’”, and then he records several layers of back vocals, resembling those of Queen.
Great album, great artwork, great band… a pity that the tickets for Zurich are already sold out… maybe I’ll see them live (again) by fall.
