From The Astonishing to the Portnoy/Mangini debate to fans being jerks to each other for no reason… this episode is basically a bunch of DT fans hanging out and shooting the shit together – driven by a LOT of incredible points brought up by our listeners/viewers!

It’s our 6th Album Cage Match, and this time Brian – since it’s his birthday - has picked the opponents and a special guest cohost! We’re stepping outside the realm of Dream Theater with our good friend Chris Akin and pitting two classic Iron Maiden albums against each other as Powerslave takes on Seventh Son of a Seventh Son! It’s Two Minutes to Midnight as these two Duellists go head to head. Are you Clairvoyant enough to see what our picks will be? (OK, enough puns for one show description…)
