Dream Theater

Formed in 1985 in Boston, Dream Theater is the progressive metal band that just won't die. Earlier this year, the band dropped its 14th studio album, Distance Over Time, which it recorded at an upstate New York cabin. The disc features meticulously composed tunes that include off-kilter time signatures and ornate guitar solos ("Barstool Warrior is a perfect example), showing just what great musicians these guys are. Tonight's show will feature songs from it as well as songs from Metropolis Part 2: Scenes From a Memory, the band’s first concept album. That album turns 20 this year. (Niesel)
