PRAY lyrics (click to download)
Ohh Ohh Ohh .. and I pray
I just cant sleep tonight.
Knowing that things aint right.
Its in the papers, its on the tv, its everywhere that I go.
Children are crying.
Soldiers are dying
Some people don't have a home
But I know there's sunshine behind that rain
I know there's good times behind that pain, hey
Can you tell me how I can make a change
I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and pray
I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and pray
I lose my appetite, knowing kids starve tonight.
And when I sit up, cause my dinner is still on my plate.
Ooo I got a vision, to make a difference.
And its starting today.
Cause I know there's sunshine behind that rain
I know there's good times behind that pain, hey
Haven`t tell me how I can make a change
I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and pray
I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and pray
For the broken-hearted.
I pray for the life not started
I pray for all the ones not breathing.
I pray for all the souls in need.
I pray. Can you give em one today.
I just cant sleep tonight
Can someone tell how to make a change?
I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and pray
I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and I pray
I pray ...
I close my eyes and pray ...

WESTLIFE - When You're Looking Like That download
She's a 5 foot 10 in catsuit and bambi eyes
Everybody's who's staring wouldn't believe that this girl was mine
I should have know I was wrong
When I left her for a life in pity
But they say you never miss the water until it's gone
Guess I failed to love you
And you're taking it out tonight
[Chorus:]
How am I supposed to leave you now
When you're looking like that?
I can't believe what I just gave away
Now I can't take it back
I don't wanna get lost
I don't wanna live my life without you
How am I supposed to leave you now
When you're looking like that?
She's all dressed up for glamour and rock and roll
Wanna squeeze her real tight get out of this place
If only I could take control
But she is out of my reach forever
And just a week ago she lied next to me
It's so ironic how I had to lose just
To see that I failed to love you
And you're taking it out tonight
[Chorus]
I don't wanna forget you
I don't even wanna try
How am I supposed to walk on by when you're looking like that?
[Chorus x3]
Shane:
Stay with me
Don't fall asleep too soon
The angels can wait for a moment
Come real close
Forget the world outside
Tonight we're alone
It's finally you and I

Not without you
All:
Cos when I look at my life
How the pieces fall into place
It just wouldn't rhyme without you
When I see how my path
Seem to end up before your face
The state of my heart
The place where we are
Was written in the stars
Bryan:
Don''t be afraid
I''ll be right by your side
Through the laughter and pain
Together we're bound to fly
I wasn't meant to love like this
Not without you
All:
Cos when I look at my life
How the pieces fall into place

Where We Are
Stay where you are
Don’t let me go, don’t let me go
We made it this far
Oh baby stop, stop right there
Don’t walk away, don’t walk away
Into thin air
We survived a crash
Made it through the wreckage
Standing here at last
So perfectly written
Chorus:
Now where we are
Is where we’re suppose to be
Where we are
Keeps the breath in me
Where we’ve been
We’ve risen from the deep
Where we’re now no one can tear us apart
That’s where we are
Don’t, don’t turn around
We gotta let, we got to let
Go of the past now
Feel me by your side
We’re out of danger
No reason to hide
We survived the storm
Made it through the hurricane
Standing here at last
Dry despite the rain
Chorus
Now where we are
Is where we’re suppose to be
Where we are
Keeps the breath in me
Where we’ve been
We’ve risen from the deep
Where we’re now no one can tear us apart
That’s where we are
That’s where we are
Stay, stay where you are
Chorus
Now where we are
Is where we’re suppose to be
Where we are
Keeps the breath in me
Where we’ve been
We’ve risen from the deep
Where we’re now no one can tear us apart
That’s where we are
That’s where we are

Together they recorded LaBrie Images And Words that catapulted their name into the international ranks with the hit "Pull Me Under" and "Another Day". Awake is their last album with Moore who was later replaced by Derek Sherinian for the album Falling Into Infinity. In the end Sherinian also replaced by Jordan Rudess and this formation still persist until the end of 2010. Because Mike Portny whose real name is Michael Stephen Portnoy has decided to exit from Dream Theater. They have launched a concept album Metropolis 2: Scenes From A Memory and a double album Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence. In 2003 they decided to record a non-concept album Train Of Thought is very influenced by thrash metal groups like Metallica.
Their latest album titled Octavarium issued on June 7, 2005 and in addition is the eighth studio album also contains eight songs.
After the Dream Theater released their album Live in the 20th anniversary of Dream Theater was formed, entitled score recorded on April 1, 2006 at Radio City Music Hall, U.S.. They again preparing to launch their ninth album with new record label brought flag that is Roadrunner Records, they have completed the Systematic Chaos album that contains 8 songs and was launched on June 5, 2007 in the U.S.
With five members, they decided to name the band by the name Majesty. According to the documentation DVD Score, five of them were lined up tickets for the Rush concert at the Berklee Performance Center while listening to Rush with a boom box. Portnoy and said that the ending of the song (Bastille Day) sounded very "Majestic". That's when they decided Majesty is a good name for a band, and remained good until now.
At the time - time, Portnoy, Petrucci and Myung is still struggling with their studies, also by working part time and teaching. Their schedules become tight tips so they must decide between pursuing a career in music or terminate the band Majesty. But eventually Majesty win and the three of them came out of Berklee to concentrate on her musical career. Petrucci comment about this in the documentation DVD Score, said that while it is very difficult to ask their parents to go to music school. And more difficult to convince her parents that she should drop out of school.
Moore is finally out of school, SUNY Fredonia, to concentrate with the band.
Songwriting Technique
Several unique songwriting techniques have been performed by Dream Theater, which mostly occurred in the period - the present, when they can experiment with their own record label.
Starting with the Train of Thought, Dream Theater have started inserting elements - small and hidden elements in their music, and includes these elements to the more fanatical enthusiasts. Characteristics of the most famous (the so-called "nugget") hidden in the "In The Name of God", which is a morse code of "eat my ass and balls" (eat my ass and my cock), which is the word - the famous words of Mike Portnoy . Since then, many enthusiasts - enthusiasts Dream Theater began trying to find things - little things that usually do not appeal to ordinary enthusiasts.
Some of them are well-known techniques include:
* Voice of the phonograph in the suffix of "Finally Free" on the album Scenes from a Memory is the same sound in the prefix of "The Glass Prison" on the next album, Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence. And the final key suffix in "As I Am" same key used on the next album, Train of Thought. Also, the piano being played in the suffix "In the Name of God" in the 'Train of Thought is not the same with the opening of "The Root of All Evil" on the next album, Octavarium.
* The three parts of "The Glass Prison" on Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence, two parts of "This Dying Soul" at the Train of Thought and the two parts of "The Root of All Evil" on Octavarium show's first seven points of the twelve points - points in the program Alcoholics Anonymous by Bill Wilson, whose program was followed by Mike Portnoy. He also said that he would make a song - another song which includes five other programs, which will be directed to Wilson
* Dream Theater song writing sometimes uses techniques in which part - part of a song is developed each time they played. For example, the song "6:00" from Awake. After leading a song, they almost play the chorus, but to repeat the song from the prefix again (at minute 1:33). And when the chorus was supposed to be played at the next moment, they repeat again from the prefix, at minute 2:11. This technique can also be found in "Peruvian Skies", "Blind Faith" and "Endless Sacrifice"
* The use of repeated notations - also re-used, which are well known from the songs - songs of Charles Ives, for example:
o The theme song "Wait for Sleep" appears in "Learning to Live" (minute 8:11) and also appeared twice on "Just Let Me Breath" (minute 3:39 and 5:21)
o The theme song "Learning to Live" appeared in "Another Day" (2:53 minutes)
o The theme song "Space-Dye Vest" is used several times in the album Awake.
o The theme of the opening of "erotomania" used in "Voices" in Awake (4:51 minutes).
o One of melody - a melody in "Metropolis Pt 1 (The Miracle and the Sleeper)" is repeated in the second chorus in "Home" from Metropolis Pt 2 (Scenes From A Memory), by just changing one word. Some lyrics from "Metropolis Pt 1" just used in the "Home". Basically, the whole album "Scenes From A Memory" is full of musical / lyrical / conceptual variations of elements - musical elements of "Metropolis Pt 1" and "The Dance of Eternity" is actually constructed from variations - variations in the elements of music in songs - songs in album.
o Section - baguan of each song on the album "Octavarium" has been used in the fifth section of the same titled song, "Octavarium".
* Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence, their sixth studio album, contains six songs and have character - character number six in the title - the title song. Train of Thought, their seventh studio album, contains seven songs. Octavarium, their eighth studio album includes eight songs and the album title is taken from the word octo, which is a Latin word that means eight, meaning that one octave of the musical term, which is the distance from one note to another note are eight notes in scales diatonik . More titles of this CD is 24 minutes, a multiple of 8. The front page of the album also contains the character - a character associated with 5 and 8. For example, a set of boxes - white boxes and boxes - black boxes, have the meanings an octave of the piano.
* The song "Octavarium" used to want to end with an echoing flute similar to the prefix of the song. But the piano is replaced with the same prefix from the album Octavarium. Mike Portnoy has said that the series prefix - suffix album will stop here, because the upcoming ninth album will be preceded by the suffix "Octavarium"
* Detailed analysis of the "nuggets" in "Octavarium" (called by Mike Portnoy as "a giant nugget") has been published in an independent site.

History
Inspired by the audience response to Dream Theater's heavier songs while on tour, Train of Thought is widely considered their heaviest album to date. The album was written in three weeks. It was engineered by Doug Oberkircher and mixed by Kevin Shirley. The album has seven songs, while its predecessor (Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence) has six and its successor (Octavarium) has eight. The song pattern then reverses for the next two albums; Systematic Chaos has seven songs (counting both parts of "In the Presence of Enemies" as one) , and Black Clouds & Silver Linings has six. This carries out the theme of Octavarium, which states that everything ends where it began.
Reception
Songs
- The first song "As I Am" starts with the ending synth/orchestral chord of Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence.
- Some lyrics of As I Am were inspired by Dream Theater's 2003 summer tour with Queensryche, described by Mike Portnoy as an "irksome series of shows." According to Portnoy, Queensryche guitarist Mike Stone tried giving John Petrucci tips on playing guitar, leading Petrucci to write the lyrics: "Don't tell me what's in, tell me how to write".
- "This Dying Soul" continues Mike Portnoy's Twelve-step Suite, started with "The Glass Prison" on Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence and later continued with "The Root of All Evil" on Octavarium, "Repentance" on Systematic Chaos, ending with " The Shattered Fortress" on "Black Clouds & Silver Linings". These songs share some of the lyrics and melodies.
- "Honor Thy Father" was written about Mike Portnoy's stepfather. When asked about what inspired him to write that song, he stated in an IRC chat: "I'm not very good at writing love songs, so I decided to write a HATE song!!!"
- Some of the mumbles during "Honor Thy Father" are taken from Paul Thomas Anderson's film Magnolia, in the scene when Jason Robards' character is talking to Philip Seymour Hoffman's character, explaining him about his regrets in life. There are also parts taken from the movie At Close Range in which a scene of Sean Penn and Christopher Walken's characters can be heard arguing.
- The lyrics to Vacant were inspired by James LaBrie's daughter, who fell into a short coma after suffering a sudden, unexplained seizure three days before her seventh birthday.
- Stream of Consciousness is the longest Dream Theater instrumental to date (not counting live mash-ups such as Instrumedley and "When The Water Breaks" from Liquid Tension Experiment II).
- In the Train of Thought Instrumental Bootleg release you can hear at the end of Stream of Consciousness that there is a baseball match on the TV in the background behind Mike Portnoy and John Petrucci delibrating whether that take was better than the previous one.
- Between 5:51 and 6:07 of the song "In the Name of God", there was a hidden composition buried beneath the far louder sounds of the song itself which lay undiscovered for over a year and a half. The band did not tell anyone that a hidden "nugget" (as it became known amongst Dream Theater fans) was present in the song, and only when Mike Portnoy mentioned it in his Mike Portnoy: Live at Budokan Drum-Cam DVD over a year later did someone find it. The Mike Portnoy message board was rife with fans scouring the song looking for what it might be, until a fan going by the pseudonymous name "DarrylRevok" mentioned that from 05:51 to 06:07 there appeared to be morse code audible, which Nick Bogovich (user handle "Bogie") isolated and discovered that when translated to English, the phrase "eat my ass and balls" (a Mike Portnoy catchphrase) was the result.
- From 12:56 onwards of "In the Name of God", the American civil war hymn "Battle Hymn of the Republic" can be heard in the right channel.
- "In The Name of God" has 14 letters in its title and is 14:14 in length. 14 is also double the number of the album as well as the number of songs. In addition, "Train of Thought" is 14 letters long.
- Jordan Rudess played the final note in the album (heard at 14:08 of "In the Name of God") with his nose as shown in "Making The Train of Thought" documentary. Mike Portnoy approved the take while he was filming. This is also the first note of Octavarium's first song, "The Root of All Evil" and the last note of the last song, "Octavarium" (heard at 23:29).
- As I Am and Honor Thy Father are the only Dream Theater songs recorded to use the word "fuck".

Bersama LaBrie mereka merekam Images And Words yang melambungkan nama mereka ke jajaran internasional dengan hit "Pull Me Under" dan "Another Day". Awake adalah album terakhir mereka dengan Moore yang kemudian digantikan oleh Derek Sherinian untuk album Falling Into Infinity. Pada akhirnya Sherinian juga digantikan oleh Jordan Rudess dan formasi ini masih bertahan sampai akhir tahun 2010. Karena Mike Portny yang bernama asli Michael Stephen Portnoy telah memutuskan untuk keluar dari Dream Theater. Mereka telah meluncurkan album konsep Metropolis 2: Scenes From A Memory dan album ganda Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence. Pada tahun 2003 mereka memutuskan untuk merekam album non-konsep Train Of Thought yang sangat dipengaruhi oleh grup thrash metal seperti Metallica.
Album terbaru mereka yang berjudul Octavarium dikeluarkan pada tanggal 7 Juni 2005 dan selain merupakan album studio kedelapan juga mengandung delapan lagu.
Setelah Dream Theater meluncurkan album Live mereka dalam memperingati 20 tahun Dream Theater terbentuk yang berjudul Score yang direkam pada tanggal 1 April 2006 di Radio City Music Hall,US. Mereka kembali bersiap meluncurkan album ke sembilan mereka dengan membawa bendera label record baru yaitu RoadRunner Records, mereka telah merampungkan album Systematic Chaos yang berisi 8 lagu dan telah diluncurkan pada tanggal 5 Juni 2007 di US.
Sejarahnya Dream Theater
Dream Theater dibentuk pada bulan September 1985, ketika gitaris John Petrucci dan bassis John Myung memutuskan untuk membentuk sebuah band untuk mengisi waktu luang mereka ketika bersekolah di Berklee College of Music di Boston. Mereka lalu bertemu seorang pemain drum, Mike Portnoy, di salah satu ruang latihan di Berklee, dan setelah dua hari negosiasi, mereka berhasil mengajak Mike Portnoy untuk bergabung. Setelah itu, mereka bertiga ingin mengisi dua tempat kosong di band tersebut, dan Petrucci bertanya kepada teman band, Kevin Moore, untuk menjadi pemain keyboard. Dia setuju, dan ketika Chris Collins diajak untuk menjadi vokalis, band tersebut sudah komplit.
Dengan lima anggota, mereka memutuskan untuk menamai band tersebut dengan nama Majesty. Menurut dokumentasi DVD Score, mereka berlima sedang mengantri tiket untuk konser Rush di Berklee Performance Center ketika mendengarkan Rush dengan boom box. Portnoy lalu berkata bahwa akhiran dari lagu tersebut (Bastille Day) terdengar sangat "majestic". Pada saat itulah mereka memutuskan Majesty adalah nama yang bagus untuk sebuah band, dan tetap bagus sampai sekarang.
Pada saat - saat tersebut, Portnoy, Petrucci dan Myung masih berkutat dengan kuliah mereka, juga dengan kerja paruh waktu dan mengajar. Jadwal mereka menjadi kiat ketat sehingga mereka harus memutuskan antara mengejar karir di bidang musik atau mengakhiri band Majesty. Namun akhirnya Majesty menang dan mereka bertiga keluar dari Berklee untuk berkonsentrasi di karir musik. Petrucci mengomentari tentang hal ini di dokumentasi DVD Score, berkata bahwa saat tersebut sangat susah untuk meminta kepada orang tuanya untuk pergi ke sekolah musik. Dan lebih susah lagi untuk menyakinkan orang tuanya agar ia boleh keluar dari sekolah.
Moore juga akhirnya keluar dari sekolahnya, SUNY Fredonia, untuk berkonsentrasi dengan band tersebut.
Teknik Penulisan Lagu
Beberapa teknik penulisan lagu yang unik telah dilakukan oleh Dream Theater, yang kebanyakan terjadi di masa - masa sekarang, ketika mereka bisa bereksperimen dengan label rekaman mereka sendiri.
Dimulai dengan Train of Thought, Dream Theater sudah memulai memasukkan elemen - elemen kecil dan tersembunyi di musik mereka, dan memuat elemen tersebut kepada peminat yang lebih fanatik. Karakteristik yang paling terkenal (yang biasa disebut "nugget") tersembunyi di "In the Name of God", yang merupakan sandi morse dari "eat my ass and balls" (makan pantatku dan penisku), yang merupakan kata - kata terkenal dari Mike Portnoy. Sejak saat itu, banyak peminat - peminat Dream Theater mulai berusaha menemukan hal - hal kecil yang biasanya tidak menarik bagi peminat biasa.
Beberapa dari teknik mereka yang terkenal termasuk:
* Suara dari fonograf di akhiran dari "Finally Free" di album Scenes from a Memory adalah suara yang sama di awalan "The Glass Prison" di album berikutnya, Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence. Dan akhiran kunci terakhir di "As I Am" sama dengan kunci yang digunakan di album selanjutnya, Train of Thought. Juga, not piano yang dimainkan di akhiran "In the Name of God" di 'Train of Thought adalah not yang sama dengan pembukaan "The Root of All Evil" di album berikutnya, Octavarium.
* Tiga bagian dari "The Glass Prison" di Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence, dua bagian dari "This Dying Soul" di Train of Thought dan dua bagian dari "The Root of All Evil" di Octavarium menunjukkan tujuh poin pertama dari dua belas poin - poin di program Alcoholics Anonymous oleh Bill Wilson, yang mana program itu diikuti oleh Mike Portnoy. Ia juga berkata bahwa ia akan membuat lagu - lagu lain yang memuat lima program lainnya, yang akan ditujukan untuk Wilson
* Dream Theater kadang menggunakan teknik penulisan lagu dimana bagian - bagian dari sebuah lagu dikembangkan tiap kali mereka dimainkan. Contohnya, lagu "6:00" dari Awake. Setelah awalan lagu, mereka hampir memainkan chorus, tapi mengulang lagu tersebut dari awalan lagi (di menit 1:33). Dan ketika chorus sudah seharusnya dimainkan pada saat berikutnya, mereka mengulang lagi dari awalan, di menit 2:11. Teknik ini bisa juga ditemukan di "Peruvian Skies", "Blind Faith" dan "Endless Sacrifice"
* Penggunaan notasi yang berulang - ulang juga digunakan, yang sudah dikenal dari lagu - lagu Charles Ives, contohnya:
o Tema lagu "Wait for Sleep" muncul di "Learning to Live" (menit 8:11) dan juga muncul dua kali di "Just Let Me Breath" (menit 3:39 dan 5:21)
o Tema lagu "Learning to Live" muncul di "Another Day" (menit 2:53)
o Tema lagu "Space-Dye Vest" digunakan beberapa kali di album Awake.
o Tema pembukaan dari "Erotomania" digunakan di "Voices" di Awake (menit 4:51).
o Satu dari melodi - melodi di "Metropolis Pt 1 (The Miracle and the Sleeper)" diulang di chorus kedua di "Home" dari Metropolis Pt 2 (Scenes From A Memory), dengan cuma pengubahan satu kata. Beberapa lirik dari "Metropolis Pt 1" just digunakan di "Home". Pada dasarnya, keseluruhan album "Scenes From A Memory" penuh dengan musikal/lirikal/konseptual variasi dari elemen - elemen musikal dari "Metropolis Pt 1" dan "The Dance of Eternity" sebenarnya dibangun dari variasi - variasi elemen musik di lagu - lagu dalam album tersebut.
o Bagian - baguan dari tiap lagu di album "Octavarium" telah digunakan di bagian kelima dari lagu berjudul sama, "Octavarium".
* Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence, studio album ke enam mereka, memuat enam lagu dan mempunyai karakter - karakter angka enam di judul - judul lagunya. Train of Thought, studio album ke tujuh mereka, memuat tujuh lagu. Octavarium, studio album ke delapan mereka memuat delapan lagu dan judul albumnya diambil dari kata octo, yang merupakan kata Latin yang berarti delapan, berarti satu oktaf dari istilah musik, yang mana merupakan jarak dari satu not ke not lain adalah delapan not di tangga nada diatonik. Judul lagi dari CD ini adalah 24 menit, kelipatan dari 8. Halaman depan albumnya juga memuat karakter - karakter yang berhubungan dengan 5 dan 8. Contohnya, satu set dari kotak - kotak putih dan kotak - kotak hitam, mempunyai arti satu oktaf dari piano.
* Lagu "Octavarium" dulunya ingin diakhiri dengan seruling yang bergema serupa dengan awalan lagu tersebut. Namun diganti dengan not piano yang sama dari awalan album Octavarium. Mike Portnoy telah mengatakan bahwa seri awalan - akhiran album akan berhenti disini, karena album ke sembilan mendatang tidak akan diawali dengan akhiran "Octavarium"
* Analisis detil tentang "nugget" di "Octavarium" (disebut oleh Mike Portnoy sebagai "sebuah nugget raksasa") telah dipublikasikan di sebuah situs independen.

Mungkin inilah kabar yang paling mengejutkan menjelang akhir tahun. Kalangan pecinta progressive sangat dihebohkan dengan keputusan sepihak Mike Portnoy yang memilih mundur sebagai drummer DREAM THEATER. Band yang telah dibangun dan membesarkan namanya dalam 25 tahun terakhir.
“Sebelumnya aku tidak pernah membayangkan ini akan terjadi. tapi setelah 25 tahun akhirnya keputusan besar telah aku buat dengan keluar dari DREAM THEATER. Band yang sangat aku cintai, yang sudah aku bentuk seperempat abad.
“Mungkin banyak orang akan shock dengan berita ini, tapi tolong mengerti tentang keputusan penting yang sudah aku buat. Ini memang keputusan sulit tapi jujur pergolakan ini sudah ada sejak tahun lalu…..
“Setelah setahun terakhir lebih intens bermain di beberapa band seperti HAIL!, TRANSATLANTIC dan juga AVENGED SEVENFOLD, jujur aku lebih merasakan kesenangan dengan mereka dan kedekatan dibanding dengan situasi sekarang di DREAM THEATER.
“Tapi tolong jangan salah paham kalau menilai aku membenci DREAM THEATER. Aku punya cerita panjang dengan band itu dan aku mencintai DREAM THEATER bakan nama itu juga datang dari pemberian ayahku. Tapi aku pikir aku butuh suasana baru setidaknya untuk saat sekarang.
“Ada perasaan lain yang juga aku rasakan kalau DREAM THEATER seperti ingin membuat skema mengeluarkan aku dari band dan keputusan aku juga untuk menyelematkan hubungan personal dengan personil lain untuk membuat DREAM THEATER tetap penuh inspirasi.
“Aku minta maaf untuk semua fans berat DREAM THEATER tapi tolong mengerti tentang situasi sekarang. Saat ini aku hanya ingin istirahat dari band tersebut dan bukan berarti keluar sepenuhnya,” kata Mike Portnoy seperti yang dilansir dari catatan resminya yang temuat di facebook.
DREAM THEATER adalah panutan utama di scene progressive metal dunia. Terbentuk di tahun 1986 band ini jarang berganti personil dan keluarnya Mike Portnoy menjadi orang ketiga personil asli yang hengkang dimana sebelumnya ada vokalis Charles Dominici dan keyboardist Kevin Moore. Praktis tinggal John Myung dan John Petrucci yang menjadi personil asli band ini.
Sejak terbentuk di tahun 1986, Mike Portnoy bersama DREAM THEATER setidaknya telah merilis sepuluh album penuh termasuk debut “When Dream and Day Unite” di tahun 1989 dan “Black Cloud and Silver Linnings” di tahun 2009.
Mike Portnoy atau yang bernama asli Michael Stephen Portnoy ini pernah meraih beberapa penghargaan utama sebagai drummer terbaik menurut beberapa versi termasuk 23 kali menjadi juara versi Majalah Modern Drummer. Dan pria yang memiliki darah keturunan Yahudi ini lahir 20 April 1967
