The album features eight characters, and James LaBrie sings in a different tone for each character, which showcases his vocal talents in a superb way. Story-wise, I will not mention too much so that I don’t spoil anything. There are soft, emotional ballads (such as Chosen and Begin Again), radio-friendly songs (Our New World and The Gift of Music), and archetypical Dream Theater songs (Moment of Betrayal, A New Beginning, and The Path That Divides). As you can tell by just those first few songs, musical diversity is rampant here. The next song, “The Answer”, is much lighter than the previous two songs, and that’s followed by the anthemic “A Better Life”. Listen to Descent of the NOMACS on the English music album The Astonishing by Dream Theater, only on JioSaavn. That song has Rush’s name written all over it, and those first three tracks make for a great way to kick off the album. A rebel group from the village of Ravenskill promises to change all of that, and they attempt to show the Great Northern Empire what true music is made of.Īfter getting your first taste (or earful) of the NOMACs, the next two songs are “Dystopian Overture”, which is an instrumental piece that paves the way for what’s to come, and “The Gift of Music”, where James LaBrie narrates what’s going on between Ravenskill and the Great Northern Empire. The citizens of the Great Northern Empire have been listening to the NOMACs for generations, and those electronic sounds are the only kind of music they know. Music has become fully automated, produced entirely by computers with zero human input. The album begins with “Descent of the NOMACs”, and it immediately presents a problem that the album’s story deals with.

The five NOMAC songs are electronic, dubstep-like instrumentals, and the rest of the album, in addition to DT’s five musicians, features a full orchestra and choir. While the album itself is very long, the tracks themselves are quite accessible for most people, due to their shorter duration.įrom a musical standpoint, Dream Theater are at their very best here. The longest track, “A New Beginning”, is less than eight minutes in length, a far cry from their 20+ minute epics that grace more than a few of their other albums. Unlike most of DT’s other works, the tracks on this album are very short (by Dream Theater standards). All in all, it makes for one hell of an album.

Twenty-nine of these tracks showcase Dream Theater at their finest, while the remaining five are short electronic interludes, which are produced by drone-like machines called NOMACs (NOise MAChines). “The Astonishing” consists of over two hours of music, spanning thirty-four tracks. Every record is shipped in original factory-applied shrink wrap and has never been touched by human hands.It’s already been a year since the progressive metal band Dream Theater has released their second double-disc studio album, “The Astonishing”, and I would go so far as to say it was one of 2016’s best metal albums, not to mention one of the most ambitious albums in existence.
