Dream Theater’s A View From The Top Of The World was released to worldwide acclaim on October 22nd, 2021. The album shot to #1 on the iTunes Store Top Albums Metal chart, #1 on the Top Rock Albums and even reached #4 on All Genres iTunes Top Albums on release day. The new release hit #2 on the Amazon Best Sellers in Rock (CD format) topped only by The Beatles reissue of Let It Be. A View From The Top Of The World also garnered the group their first ever Grammy win, clinching Best Metal Performance for “The Alien” in April 2022.

Fans can also watch a video for first official single “Invisible Monster” and a frenetic, high-definition CGI marvel from long-time collaborator Wayne Joyner for “Awaken The Master”. Most recently, the group shared a fourth video – ”Transcending Time” – another CGI creation by Wayne Joyner. The song has been a fan-favourite since the album was released and is the shortest track on the band’s latest album clocking in at 6:24 seconds. The performance showcases the band’s musical influences while being quintessential Dream Theater.

The album is available everywhere music is sold/streamed and can also be ordered here.
