Antara album yang ditunggu selepas CARCASS Surgical Steel.
A Dramatic Turn of Events mempunyai masalah dari segi produksi yang kurang organik. Seolah-olah skripnya telah ditulis lama dahulu. Ini menenggelamkan bakat sebenar Mike Mangini yang menggantikan Mike Portnoy untuk posisi drum.
Saya harap album yang akan muncul ini lebih organik, lebih raw dan kebebasan sepenuhnya diberikan kepada Mangini untuk menyuntik idea beliau ke dalam muzik Dream Theater.
Saya tidak dapat memberikan penghakiman sepenuhnya kepada klip Along For The Ride kerana lagu ini adalah lagu ballad. Juga tidak dapat menilai tahap soniknya kerana terbatas dengan bunyian yang keluar dari speaker PC. Itu menghakiminya, sudah tentu perlu pada sistem audio hi fi (sambil tersengih).
Akhir sekali, saya harap promoter yang cerdik dapatlah membawa Dream Theater ke Malaysia. Bawa Lamb of God itu adalah kurang cerdik. Kita di Malaysia bukan di Norway. Jangan lepas ni ada pula yang nak bawak band God Dethroned.
In January, Petrucci said of Mangini’s work: “When people hear the drumming on this album, they’re gonna be pretty freaked out. On the last album, he did a great job, but he wasn’t there for the writing process and he was interpreting drum parts that I had programmed. Even though he used his creativity, of course, to change them up and do his thing, I feel like now he’s just Mike Mangini unleashed. It’s all him. It’s all his creativity, all his decisions and ideas and man, the guy’s an animal.”
