Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Sometime near the end of The '90s, Dream Theater's drummer, Mike Portnoy, was asked by his company to form a Progressive Rock/Metal supergroup. Said group was composed by Portnoy, his Dream Theater comrade John Petrucci on guitar, the legendary bassist Tony Levin and a then-not-so-notable keyboardist named Jordan Rudess. Thus, the seeds for Liquid Tension Experiment were planted.The band released only two albums before Rudess' definitive incorporation to Dream Theater and the obvious disbandment, at least for studio recordings, since three-quarters of the band were composed by Dream Theater members. It didn't stop Portnoy from releasing several other albums [live recordings] via his own label, Ytsejam Records. In 2020, a reunion was announced with, with a third album released in 2021, and possible plans for a fourth album.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })There was a spinoff of this band, called Liquid Trio Experiment, which was composed of the same members, except one of them, who happened to be Petrucci in the first album, Spontaneous Combustion, and Rudess in the second, When the Keyboard Breaks. | |

Non-Indicative Name | |
| Liquid Tension Experiment (Music) / int_295087bf | comment |
Non-Indicative Name: "Three Minute Warning", which is a 27-minute improvised jam recorded entirely in a single take. It's so long that the band's primary recording equipment actually ran out of space and left off the last three or so minutes. The name came from Tony Levin wanting to just play and have fun while the rest of the band wanted to get the structured recording out of the way before they started jamming. He threatened to quit and leave if they "didn't start jamming in three minutes." | |

Pun-Based Title | |
| Liquid Tension Experiment (Music) / int_3eb0f889 | comment |
"When the Water Breaks" may be a Pun-Based Title on the song "When the Levee Breaks", most famous in Led Zeppelin's version on their untitled fourth album. Then, of course, that was mutated to "When the Keyboard Breaks" when, well, Rudess' keyboard broke. | |

| Liquid Tension Experiment (Music) / int_7ec0508e | comment |
Neoclassical Punk Zydeco Rockabilly: Dream Theater-esque Progressive Rock/Metal, mixed in with some Jazz Fusion, a fair amount of Zappaisms, a dash of classical-infused piano, and a teaspoon of electronic music. | |

Exactly What It Says on the Tin | |
| Liquid Tension Experiment (Music) / int_8409a385 | comment |
Exactly What It Says on the Tin: The track that became "When the Water Breaks" was being recorded at the time when John Petrucci's wife went into labour and Petrucci had to leave the studio in the middle of the session. The band even included samples of a baby's first cry within the track. | |

| Liquid Tension Experiment (Music) / int_ce104b8e | comment |
Serial Escalation: Set the standard for many newer progressive bands. It can't be more technically challenging than this. "Paradigm Shift" and "Another Dimension" are both fine examples of this. | |

Last Note Hilarity: "When the Water Breaks", which is an epic and ultimately very serious instrumental, ends with a quirky piano solo in the last minute or so. | |
