Dream Theater have released the first new music from their upcoming double length concept album, “The Astonishing.” The song is called “The Gift of Music.” It’s unclear if this is a single edit or the full track.

The song itself is very upbeat and reminiscent of “The Looking Glass” from their last album and it does harken back to “Scenes From a Memory” for me. It’s just one song of 34 so there’s no way to tell what the overall vibe of the album is. But for now, this is an excellent first look at the new album!
