Experience the evolution of progressive metal with Dream Theater’s ultimate 14-CD collection, featuring every studio album from 1992–2016. This deluxe box set brings together the band’s most iconic releases, from Images and Words to The Astonishing, showcasing 25 years of groundbreaking music. The Studio Albums 1992–2016 unites 12 of the band’s core studio works for the first time across 14CDs.
It begins with the band’s gold-certified 1992 breakthrough, Images and Words, featuring the Top 10 hit “Pull Me Under,” then navigates a prolific decade as the band scaled new creative heights on albums like Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory, one of the greatest concept albums in progressive-rock history. The band continued adding to its legacy in the 21st century with a string of acclaimed works, like Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence and Octavarium—milestones that expanded Dream Theater’s musical range and cemented their reputation for unmatched technical precision and ambition.
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 group’s defining elements into one of their most focused statements. Finally, The Astonishing expanded the band’s scope into cinematic territory with a two-act rock opera. Orchestrated and expansive, it embodied the ambition that has long defined Dream Theater’s approach—melding storytelling, virtuosity, and scale into an immersive listening experience.
