Long Island, New York (1985 – present)
Dream Theater is an American progressive metal band from Long Island, New York formed in 1985 under the name “Majesty” by John Myung, John Petrucci, and Mike Portnoy while they attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, United States, which they all dropped out of to support the band. Although a number of lineup changes have occurred, the three original members remain today, along with James LaBrie and Jordan Rudess.
Dream Theater has become one of the most successful progressive metal bands since the height of the genre in the mid-1970s. Although the band has had a few successful hits (notably
Pull Me Under in the early 1990s, which received extensive MTV rotation), they have mostly stayed underground for their career, feeding off support from their fans.
Dream Theater’s (commonly abbreviated ‘DT’) two highest selling albums are the gold selling Images and Words (1992), although it reached only #61 on the Billboard 200 charts, and Awake (1994) which reached #32 on the Billboard 200. Recently Systematic Chaos entered US Billboard 200 at #19. Dream Theater has sold over two million albums in the U.S., and over 8 million albums and DVDs worldwide.
In January of 2005, the band obtained their first United States platinum disc (representing 100 000 DVDs sold) with Live At Budokan, recorded April 2004 in Tokyo, Japan.

Alright, after listening to SC again I think it was a lot better than before. All of the songs were good except for "Prophets of War", and "The Ministry of Lost Souls" seemed to drag on a little bit.

True, Prophets of War is a Muse song, but it's nice that they're ripping off a great band like Muse, rather then U2 again :)

I also think that SC is a good album, but it's very far from perfect. It's not consistent at all. I think that all of the songs are good, but some are so fucking good that they make the others sound average at best. Songs like Constant Motion, Forsaken, The Prophets Of War and The Dark Eternal Night are not good enough for DT imo. They would probably be great songs if they were from other bands, but they're from DREAM THEATER! I love Prophets Of War, but it's not a DT song. It would be one of Muse's best songs.
