Train of Thought, Dream Theater's seventh album, came out on Elektra on November 11, 2003, and it's the Boston prog-metal crew at its heaviest. Mike Portnoy has said the band had noticed how hard crowds on tour went for their heavier numbers, so this time they set out to make an album of darker, crushing riffs, and it won them a whole new wave of metal fans.
John Petrucci produced it, with Petrucci on guitar, John Myung on bass, Portnoy on drums, James LaBrie singing and Jordan Rudess on keyboards. They wrote it in three weeks, Doug Oberkircher engineered and Kevin Shirley mixed, and the result is grinding and relentless, with "In the Name of God" among its heavyweights. The band has stood by it: most of the album turned up on the Live at Budokan DVD, and every song on it has been played live.
