The first album following the departure of founding drummer Mike Portnoy, this record sees Mike Mangini taking over behind the kit. 'A Dramatic Turn of Events' is a return to a more melodic and progressive rock-oriented sound. It features epic song structures and technical virtuosity, proving the band could survive a major lineup change.
