If the subject is “The astonishing”, this album is incredible, first of all because the band deliver us a concept album of more two hours, and also because there are lots of recurrent themes, who come back all along the album. This record is full of magnificent melodies and modulations ; that’s why all themes interlock themeseves perfectly, all along the record. Music is in harmony with words. John Petrucci and Jordan Rudess realised an enourmous work for this album.

When I red a few elements who were revealed befor the album’s release, I had the impression that the story was the same that the novel “1984”, de George Orwell, but John Petrucci did more than this, creating a real scenario for this concept album. And if, one day, “The astonishing” would become a film!
