Even the feverish poetry and disconnected haiku of a song like \"Repentance,\" the fourth song in drummer Mike Portnoy's suite on the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, seems calculated to both enthrall and frighten with a lethal mix of minor chords, mumbled spoken word, cold brittle keyboards, and buzzy Pink Floydian vocals. The zombie chorus (comprised of 50 Dream Theater fans) of \"Prophets of War\" echoes that wet sodden paranoia with an anxious and anthemic warning of a daunting future if things don't change, showing these prog rock avatars to be as socially conscious as they are inventive. This disc stretches the limits of Dream Theater's earlier canon, as they continue to concoct breathless musical anagrams while subsuming some of the territory that Metallica used to occupy with their bleak mediations, doomsday prophecies, and thrashy bashing guitars. This is an unnerving record for unnerving times --Jaan Uhelszki\n\nProduct Description\n\nDream Theater\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 016861799229\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0016861799229\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e 016861799229\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IDshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47575427940611,"sku":"68-Q9BS-QQQ1","price":3.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/files\/81BuwGqtCwL.jpg?v=1766561440","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/products\/systematic-chaos","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
