Dream Theater released A View From The Top Of The World in October and the release week saw the album top the charts hitting #1 on the Current Hard Music Charts, #2 on the Current Rock Albums Charts and also debuted at #52 on the Billboard 200. The album also shot to #1 on the iTunes Store Top Albums Metal chart, #1 on the Top Rock Albums, reached #4 on All Genres iTunes Top Albums and hit #2 on the Amazon Best Sellers in Rock (CD format) only to be topped by The Beatles reissue of Let It Be on release day. Dream Theater released 3 music videos from the album so far: an animated video for album opener “The Alien,” a video for the first official single “Invisible Monster,” and a frenetic, high-definition CGI marvel from long-time collaborator Wayne Joyner for “Awaken The Master.”
A View From The Top Of The World is now available everywhere music is sold and streamed and is also available for order HERE.
Dream Theater – comprised of James LaBrie, John Petrucci, Jordan Rudess, John Myung and Mike Mangini – was in the middle of a sold-out world tour in support of their last release Distance Over Time and the 20th anniversary of Scenes From A Memory when a Global Pandemic brought the world to a stop. The musicians found themselves at home with LaBrie in Canada and the rest of the group in the States. As fate would have it, they’d just finished construction on DTHQ (Dream Theater Headquarters) —a combination live recording studio, rehearsal space, control room, equipment storage, and creative hive. With LaBrie in Canada, he initially wrote with the band via ZOOM on a monitor in DTHQ. In March 2021, he flew down to New York, quarantined, and recorded his vocals face-to-face with Petrucci. The album ultimately threaded together lean and uncompromising hooks with tried-and-true technical proficiency.
