Did theatric bands like Dream Theater inspire A Skylit Drives latest, Adelphia?
After all, it’s a 13-song concept album. Yeah, one of my favorite albums is this Dream Theater album called Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory, and it’s this full concept album, like, start to finish. It doesn’t jump around; it doesn’t deviate. It literally starts the story and ends the story. It reads like a book. From [vocalist James LaBrie’s] lyrics to the mood of the music, it follows what they’re saying. It isn’t one of those albums that you’re like, “Track six is my favorite.” You either like the entire album or you don’t. Do you have any other musical guilty pleasures? I absolutely love Rascal Flatts. That band is phenomenal. I play it when I drive in the van sometimes and all of the guys get kind of butt-hurt. But, you know, they’re slowing turning on to it. I’ll look back and they’ll be singing along or mouthing the words. It’s so infectious. You can’t not like it.
