The band will embark on a world tour in support of the album beginning in Europe throughout June which will be followed by the second edition of the band’s PROGRESSIVE NATION tour featuring Zappa Plays Zappa, Pain Of Salvation and Beardfish throughout North America in July/August.
A video for the first single, "A Rite of Passage" will be shot in late March.

I used to listen to them when I was teenager then as I grew up I realized their song writing ability was worse than the backstreet boys with the exception of Jordan Rudess. Nice try though.

yeah i think Dream Theater is really boring Prog music also, but then again most of you already knew that
But im really interested in seeing Zappa plays Zappa, shame it wont be the real deal though.
