We’ve previously ranked all of the 14 album openers on the show – now we tackle ranking the album closers! Will Brian’s unfounded hatred of Space Dye Vest continue? Will Jon make his #1 the most obvious choice in show history? Tune in and find out!

Brian and Jon go off-script on this episode and dig into a freeform discussion regarding all of their favorite DT side projects!

James LaBrie is one the best and most recognizable vocalists in prog rock/metal history – with a career spanning over three decades. We break down our favorite James moments from the DT catalog! (And also ask the question… can Jon hold back from going FULL fanboy on this episode?)

Today’s the day – the official release of Dream Theater’s new album, A View From The Top Of The World! We give our immediate reactions to the record – will it prove to be a worthy successor to Distance Over Time? Will it be a clunker? Is 8-string guitar on a DT record TOO much Petrucci? Is it a Top 3 DT record? We give our first thoughts on the new album along with our guest cohosts Cael McLeish and DT's graphic artist Wayne Joyner!

With only two weeks to go before the release of Dream Theater's new record... we dive deep into the new album's predecessor - Distance Over Time!

Brian is out sick and had to call off of the show at the last minute (no, it isn’t COVID) so Jon flies solo! Lots of stories about meeting the band, interviewing the band… and blowing a chance to play onstage with Mike Portnoy at Madison Square Garden!

Brian is off this week… but! Jon is digging deep into what many fans consider DT’s best live release – Score – with his good friend Matt Wardlaw from Ultimate Classic Rock! Matt and Jon WENT to Radio City Music Hall together for the show – they have a lot of good insight into the show, but also some great stories from their roadtrip getting there and back!

It's Album Cage Match #2 - this time we pit Octavarium versus Dream Theater! A return to DT's prog roots against songs specifically written to be shorter, more concise - but still DT... which one will come out on top?

On this deep dive, we dig into the final Portnoy-era record - Brian and Jon have been VERY vocal about their love of the bookend tracks, but where do they stand on the rest?

So far there have been 14 studio albums released by Dream Theater, all of them with great opening songs... but how would we rank them? Check out our rankings and let us know if you agree in the comments! Also, the band just announced their 15th studio album A View From The Top Of The World - we give our reactions!
