“Guitarist John Petrucci came up with and developed the album’s concept, and along with keyboardist Jordan Rudess wrote the music for The Astonishing. The songs are meticulously arranged and expertly produced, and as you’d expect from Dream Theater, are played flawlessly. They also used a real orchestra and choir that provides depth, texture and atmosphere.” – Loudwire review
