I've never heard a dream theatre song in my life...I don't think.

Dream Theater are a musician's band. Very athletic progressive metal is how I usually describe them
Odd time changes, extremely technical playing. Each member of the band is a goddamned prodigy. You'd be hard pressed to find a more technically perfect band.
It's not for everyone. Their tunes are complex, with extended instrumental sections and meanderings. Safe to say if you're looking for a radio-friendly two-and-a-half minute single, you won't find it on a DT record.
