Heaviest Dream Theater Songs

I feel like every song from Train of Thought except Vacant should be in the top 15 at least, this album was Dream Theater's album to everybody who argued they weren't a metal band and they delivered the heaviness in spades. Honor Thy Father is probably the heaviest song because of the intro alone and then everything just gets heavier, and if there was ever a shredding keyboard solo it's the solo on this song.

Honor Thy Father is an excellently written and produced song. I just love the part in the middle when you think it's letting up, but then...

DON'T CROSS THE CROOKED STEP... And it's just beginning. The last chorus is pretty much pure anger.

Very angry song, and very heavy. Its hard to say which one's the heaviest, but this one is pretty heavy.

I love this song! at first I wasnt sure about the rap, but now I'm on board!

The Glass Prison can be best described as a 13 minute brutal assault on your eardrums. Heavy from start to finish, it doesn't let up even for a moment.

The first Dream theater song I ever heard and my favourite, definitely the most brutal! Train of thought is the most heavy album in my opinion

After the intro, I am literally banging my head the whole time.

While I don't think this is the heaviest, it is definitely their densest song.

Where metal meets rap in the best way ever.

Ahh yes. The infamous Labrie Rap.

Portnoy’s playing on this song is definitely enough to keep it in the top ten. Some of the fills in this song are insane, and the intro is just brutal. The guitar and bass work well together and make this song incredible.

This one genuinely makes me feel shaky from it's brutal force. Awesome!

Its hard to choose fron honour thy father and the glass prison but this should be under then.

In my opinion, it is just the best heavy metal chorus ever made. It's definitely impossible not to headbang to it. Petrucci's harmonics techniques alongside his mastered and incredibly fast riffs match perfectly Portnoy's heavyweight drumming and insanely fit fills.

Endless Sacrifice may very well have Dream Theater's Heaviest Chorus, as well as a brutally awesome instrumental part, but it does give you breaks during the verses.

Heavier than Dark Eternal

Just by hearing the intro, you know thing are going to get heavy. As I Am is sort of a prelude for things to come in Train Of Thought.

Brutal prog metal intro melds into mail riff seamlessly! Catchy chorus and great all around performance by the whole band!

This literally sounds like alice in chains

Probably one of the best petrucci shreds.

This song is amazing start to finish. The opening riff is one of my favorites in all music. Even without knowing that there is morse code in the song, its epic.

This song is slow, heavy and has epic lyrics.

One of my favorite DT songs, if not my favorite. Every part of it is awesome and each section flows into the next perfectly.

That solo is pure awesomeness!

Perhaps not their heaviest of all time, but definitely in the top 5
