Charged with the unenviable task of playing direct support to thrash metal legends Slayer, Dream Theater have all their heaviness faders whacked right up into the red. ‘Untethered Angel’ and ‘As I Am’ make for an uncompromising opening brace, while ‘Lie’ and ‘Pale Blue Dot’ provide immaculate build-up towards the inevitable thrill of ‘Pull Me Under’. An always great band on supreme form, it seems.
