Album Notes & Community Reviews

The fifteenth studio album from the definitive progressive metal titans marks their first project recorded at their custom-built New York studio, DTHQ. The record heavily features their classic blend of staggering instrumental virtuosity, extended song lengths, and massive keyboard orchestrations. It famously won the band their first-ever Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance for the lead single 'The Alien'.
