LaBrie's Beautiful Shade Of Grey

2022-03-18 by Fernando Alves | 21 Comments
Dream Theater's James LaBrie has premiered the first single, 'Devil In Drag', from his upcoming solo album Beautiful Shade Of Grey, due out May 20th via InsideOut Music. The official music video can be seen below.


Director: Wayne Joyner

Beautiful Shade of Grey, as LaBrie describes it, was a title that only came to him once he identified the record's two core themes throughout its track list. "A lot of these lyrics are dealing with the beauty of human beings, and a lot are dealing with the grey areas of the in between. You're not exactly happy, but you're not exactly sad, either."

Tracklist:
1. Devil In Drag
2. SuperNova Girl
3. Give And Take
4. Sunset Ruin
5. Hit Me Like A Brick
6. Wildflower
7. Conscience Calling
8. What I Missed
9. Am I Right
10. Ramble On
11. Devil In Drag (Electric Version)

DT band members doing stuff on their own ends up being a lot better than what they do as a whole for the past decade or more.

C'mon fellas, give him a little credit - this is a good tune! Nice acoustic work, some catch in that chorus, and you can spot that Marco Sfogli solo from a mile away...

This sounds great, but…. Am I nuts, or is this a thinly veiled culture war / transphobic song…?

^You are nuts.

Liking this more than the new DT–"His vocals here, reminded me of his impeccable '90s feats" [2] Falling Into Infinity?

Then what is a “devil in drag” who is “a shell of the man I once knew” who is listening to all the “lies” he’s told and fulfilling their “expectations”?

This should raise some questions about why doesn’t he sound this good on the production of DT

It really sounds like you're fishing for things to be offended by.

LaBrie sounds better on his solo stuff, because he can write his vocal melodies himself. Most of the time, it's for the better if the singer writes their own melodies

“ It really sounds like you're fishing for things to be offended by. ”

God, people like you are defensive. No, i just genuinely can’t figure out the lyrics. I happen to care what songs are about.
