Metal Review[3]

Inspired by the audience response to Dream Theater's heavier songs while on tour,[4] 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. The album was written in three weeks.[5] It was engineered by Doug Oberkircher and mixed by Kevin Shirley.[6] Most of the album was played in concert for the Live at Budokan DVD. All songs from it have been played live to date.


Writing


As mentioned in videos of the recording/writing sessions, which were filmed by Mike Portnoy, the band "cooped themselves in a rehearsal studio" in New York, and wrote the full album from March 10 through April 3, in a record time of three weeks, after which they began recording, starting with the drum tracks and ending with the vocals.

[es] Train of Thought

Train of Thought es el séptimo álbum de duración completa del grupo de metal progresivo Dream Theater. Fue publicado en 2003 y se trata probablemente del álbum más pesado de la banda. Buscando una grabación esencialmente metalera, influenciado por la respuesta a sus canciones más pesadas en giras (probablemente también influenciado por las versiones en vivo de "Master of Puppets" y "The Number of the Beast"), es ampliamente considerado como su álbum más pesado hasta la fecha, con algunos incluso llamándolo el 'álbum pesado'. La composición pesada ha dejado a muchos de los fanes divididos: algunos fanes veteranos de la banda prefieren el sonido más progresivo, como el que contiene Images and Words; sin embargo, los fanes más nuevos tienden a disfrutar el lado pesado de Dream Theater un poco más. A pesar de ello, el álbum fue bastante bien recibido. Sorprendentemente, los 7 temas de este álbum fueron creados en tan solo 3 semanas.
