The new Dream Theater album is called "Parasomnia"? The new Dream Theater is about bed wetting?!

now i'm not a scientist....but i thought parasomnia is just a reference to things that human bodies do while asleep?

Enuresis is the medical term for bedwetting or involuntary urination according to google?

Not the biggest dream theater fan personally so i kind of wanted to believe maybe they wrote an album about wetting their beds...

so, anybody listened to it?

to me it's actually a pretty good Dream Theater Album.
Lot's of great passages and ideas and great performances.
but as usual, somehow they always are able to ruin a song for me.

Either the cheese, the keyboard-guitar "battles", the keyboard soli in general...
it's a long list.

What's happening on the song "night terror" at 3:50 and on? Strange "groove", throws me off completely.
Sure is the shit if you studied music and are bored by standard stuff. Definitely hard to do, but to us normal mortals it just sounds off i guess
 
I'm willing to give it a shot, but I'm not expecting much.

They're all obviously super talented technicians and everything, but they've never been amazing songwriters (especially compared to their influences and peers) but their last couple decades have been rough.

Portnoy seems like the coolest among them
 
Petrucci doesn't play JAMES TYLER AFAIK but maybe he got a sig model offer because I've had para-insomnia ever since laying eyes on that headstock..
 
Turns out it's not about shitting the bed. It's about sleep murder.
 
Ive been listening to it. Pretty good. Not a huge fan of the vocals, some stuff he is alright on. The drums sound awesome on it.
