Dream Theater Vol. 3 Vinyl [10LP]

DREAM THEATER VOL. 3 serves as the final installment in the groups vinyl reissue series. Limited to 2,500 copies worldwide, the 10LP boxed set is available exclusively through Rhino.com. It includes BLACK CLOUDS & SILVER LININGS (2009), A DRAMATIC TURN OF EVENTS (2011), DREAM THEATER (2013), and THE ASTONISHING (2016), each pressed on 140-gram black vinyl and housed in a newly designed slipcase.

BLACK CLOUDS & SILVER LININGS marked the end of an era as the final studio album with founding drummer Mike Portnoy. The record balanced towering epics such as The Count Of Tuscany with deeply personal writing on tracks like The Best Of Times and A Nightmare To Remember.

With A DRAMATIC TURN OF EVENTS, Dream Theater began a new chapter with drummer Mike Mangini. The album earned the band its first GRAMMY nomination for On The Backs Of Angels, reaffirming their ability to evolve while maintaining their signature precision and emotional range.

Their self-titled DREAM THEATER followed in 2013, debuting in the Top 10 of more than 20 countries and earning another GRAMMY nomination for The Enemy Inside. Combining intricate musicianship with renewed energy, the album distilled the groups defining elements into one of their most focused statements.

Finally, THE ASTONISHING expanded the bands scope into cinematic territory with a two-act rock opera. Orchestrated and expansive, it embodied the ambition that has long defined Dream Theaters approachmelding storytelling, virtuosity, and scale into an immersive listening experience.
