It’s the next entry in our series of “you can’t have DT”, so… it’s 1997 and you walk into the record store to buy Falling Into Infinity… and the clerk tells you that you CAN’T buy it! Jon, of course, stages a boycott and refuses to purchase anything until he’s allowed to snatch up FII, but… YOU have to choose something else… what records are you grabbing? We give OUR choices for what we’d buy when we can’t have what we really want – the new Dream Theater record!

We're digging into one of the final DT albums we haven't touched on yet - 2013's self-titled record! The band were trying to incorporate all of their huge prog ideas into a much more concise, to-the-point song format for this release - did they nail it or did they miss the mark? We discuss!

It's a big double episode on TII! We welcome bassist Conner Green of prog technicians Haken onto the show to discuss their upcoming tour in support of their new record Fauna! After that we bring on the mighty Chris Akin for a spirited discussion about Metallica's brand new album 72 Seasons!

Brian is off, but we have a very good friend of the show filling in – creator of the stage production and music videos for the last two Dream Theater albums/tours… Wayne Joyner! Wayne has been gracious enough to come on a few times in the past and now that he’s filling in for Brian, we decided to let him pick the topic and he decided to deep dive one of his desert island records – Pantera’s killer major label debut Cowboys From Hell! Grab a few Black Tooth Grins and getcha pull, because we’re about to do it Lone Star State style on TII!

Portnoy vs. Mangini, Mangini vs. Portnoy – it doesn’t matter. Both drummers are INCREDIBLE and have given us several records of kickass prog rock – highlighted by some AMAZING drumming, no matter who is behind the kit. On this episode, we give our picks for our favorite drumming moments throughout the Dream Theater catalog!

We are celebrating Jon's birthday (a few days early) by letting him pick the topic - so, of course, he decides that it's finally time to deep dive his favorite record - Falling Into Infinity! This has been a somewhat polarizing record among the DT fanbase - is it a top-3 album as Jon thinks it is, or is it near the bottom due to it's obvious attempts at a hit single? We discuss!

It’s the next entry in our series of “you can’t have DT”, so… it’s 1995 and you walk into the record store to buy A Change Of Seasons… and the clerk tells you that you CAN’T buy it! You HAVE to choose something else… what records are you grabbing? We give OUR choices for what we’d buy when we can’t have what we really want – the new Dream Theater record!

We are back with our first show of 2023… and we’re heading back to 2010 and the start of a whole new era in DT history! This was the band’s first effort not to feature fan favorite and band leader Mike Portnoy – and just so happens to be one of Brian’s favorite records (spoiler alert!) We dig deep into Mike Mangini’s first outing with Dream Theater – A Dramatic Turn Of Events!

It's finally here... our second annual Fan Hangout show! This one is a freeform musical discussion about anything the fans want to talk about - driven by fans who have graciously agreed to jump out from the chat and into the limelight as they guest host the show with us! From a debate about Octavarium (the song) to Dream Theater hot takes to Gorilla Farts… we cover everything (and then some!) Happy New Year to you all… and thanks for the support!
