Most of the album was played in concert for the. It was engineered by Doug Oberkircher and mixed by Kevin Shirley.
Inspired by the audience response to Dream Theater's songs while on tour, in the Chaos in Progress documentary, Portnoy says that they wanted Train of Thought to be a 'balls to the wall' album with heavier, darker riffing, exposing them to a number of new metal fans. 'As I Am' Released: OctoProfessional ratings Review scores Source Rating Metal Review Train of Thought is the seventh studio album by American band, released on Novemthrough.This is hard, heavy progressive metal at its very best lyrically and musically. Note the beautiful interplay between the guitars and keyboards on 'Endless Sacrifice,' the insane drums and buzz saw attack on the intro to 'Honor Thy Father,' or the brilliant play on the intro to 'Seasons of Whither' in the intro to 'In the Name of God,' before the almighty riffing takes it into crunchland with a deep, poignant reflection on spiritual and religious hypocrisy. Struggles with the past, new encounters, and near despair are common themes, as on the brilliantly textured and detailed 'Train of Though.' Whereas the opener, 'As I Am,' is an anthem of resistance and independence, from 'This Dying Soul' onward, themes of acceptance, surrender, and willingness become the M.O. Also, lyrically this is an evolutionary track on the set it opens doors for the rest of the narratives here. Reflections of Reality (Revisited).' A tome about alcoholism and recovery, it's strident riff opens out onto vast sonic panoramas where pianos and rhythm section offer Petrucci the space he needs to take his guitar playing into overdrive. The centerpiece track, despite the fact that it is second on the disc, is 'This Dying Soul: IV.
John Petrucci, Mike Portnoy, Jordan Rudess, and bassist John Myung effectively peeled back the pretentious excesses of Six Degrees, turned them in on themselves, and came up with a leaner, meaner but no less ambitious outing. Coming a year after Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence, it's great to hear that Dream Theater hadn't lost their 端berheavy edge.
