The band's tenth album, Black Clouds & Silver Linings, will be released June 23 in both a standard edition, and a special 3-CD collection including a CD of instrumentals and one of cover songs. They've been recording since 1989, and have developed a huge and intense international fan following. Drummer Mike Portnoy says of the new release, "I think that this album is taking all the things that our fans love about us and putting them all in one place. A lot of the music is dark and heavy, but at the same time it has a lot of soft and melodic edges that are equally important to our sound." The band consists of James LaBrie (vocals), John Myung (bass), John Petrucci (guitar), Portnoy, and Jordan Rudess (keyboards).

If you want a sampling of the sound of Dream Theater, we have five music videos available on Xbox LIVE Marketplace:
