Progressive titans Dream Theater have announced the title/release date of their new album.

(New York, NY): The recent announcement that Mike Mangini would be joining DREAM THEATER, replacing departed drummer Mike Portnoy, caused such fanfare that Mangini was a trending topic on Twitter, second only to Will & Kate's recent nuptuals! Now, the band have finally revealed more about their imending new opus- A Dramatic Turn of Events. The much-anticipated platter, which marks Mangini's recorded debut, will be released via Roadrunner Records on September 12th and will be supported by a massive world tour.

The track listing for A Dramatic Turn of Events is as follows:
On the Backs of Angels
Build Me Up, Break Me Down
Lost Not Forgotten
This is the Life
The Shaman's Trance
Outcry
Far From Heaven
Breaking All Illusions
Beneath The Surface

For those who don't know, Dream Theater is one of the most successful progrssive metal bands to exist, with their albums "Images and Words" and "Train of Thought" marking the highlights of their career. The founder and drummer of the band, Mike Portnoy, recently quit the band, catching both the band and its fans by surprise. The band got the chance to audition seven of the world's best drummers, settling for Mike Mangini.

I'm really excited to see what new directions the band is taking with Mangini behind the drums.

I'm not into metal music, but if these guys are that great, I'm definitely going to listen to their new album on Napster. I'll post my opinions in a couple days.

I think that the album is "okay," but "Build Me Up, Break Me Down" is awesome.
