True this new album isn't reinventing the wheel and could never be mistaken for any other act other than DREAM THEATER but what his album seems to exhibit unlike many of the recent past is a return to the passion that made many of the 90s albums so magical. Well here we are in the year 2021, some 32 years after the band's debut "When Dream And Day Unite" and DREAM THEATER is back with its 15th studio album A VIEW FROM THE TOP OF THE WORLD with its surprisingly stable lineup since 2011's "A Dramatic Turn Of Events." While DT has been on autopilot for a while now simply recycling its past glory and offering okay enough but won't blow you away albums, A VIEW FROM THE TOP OF THE WORLD comes off as a nice surprise. I'm hardly one who chomps at the bit waiting for a new DREAM THEATER album to hit the market but i do like the band enough to keep up with their albums and listen at least once before moving on to the next thing. Despite having existed as the kingpin of the genre for almost three decades now, DREAM THEATER has been eclipsed by countless other bands in terms of consistency and innovation however despite this band's on again off again commitment to quality control, there is no doubt that this pioneering band has cranked out some ridiculously brilliant music over the years. The name DREAM THEATER is almost synonymous with the genre progressive metal given that this was the band responsible for bringing this hybrid of progressive rock and heavy metal to the world at large with its lauded "Images And Words" album all the way back in 1992.
