Feb 23, 2019Great stuff in there. Dream Theater did it again! Musically awesome. Mangini has great drum sound compared to previous stuff. James doesn't sound like previous stuff, sadly.

Dec 9, 2021A pretty good album. The guitar solos in Barstool Warrior and A Wit's End are absolutely amazing, and the rest of the tracks are pretty solid. The downside is that it doesn't have such a powerful climax like those of their legendary albums.

Feb 25, 2019The briskness of Distance Over Time means that the good stuff feels more concentrated, with the mediocre material mere blips on the radar. While any other band's 14th studio album might start to reveal fatigue, Dream Theater balances polish, consistency, musical excellence, and excitement on Distance Over Time.

Kerrang!Feb 22, 2019Sacrificing none of that trademark musicianship, this is Dream Theater at their most accessible, and they lose nothing for it. [23 Feb 2019, p.55]

Feb 22, 2019Dream Theater reaffirm their identity on Distance Over Time, displaying a collective hunger, abundant energy, creativity, and musical (re)discovery. This set should erase the schism between fans and win the band a whole slew of new ones.
