The album was forged between January and May 2013 at Cove City Sound Studios in Glen Cove, Long Island. This was the same studio where they had recorded A Dramatic Turn of Events , providing a familiar environment but with a drastically different creative process.

Formed in 1985 at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Dream Theater consisted of John Myung (bass), Mike Mangini (drums), John Petrucci (guitar), Jordan Rudess (keyboards), and James LaBrie (vocals).
