Today I pilot a new series about things you didn't know (or maybe you did) about some of my favorite records of all time. I wanted to start with Dream Theater's eighth studio record Octavarium, and dive deep into the story and concept behind the record, some fun facts about the tracks, as well as some nerdy music theory stuff.
