The Profile

Canadian singer best known as the lead vocalist of Dream Theater and for his solo work, including releases under the name MullMuzzler.

Joined Dream Theater in 1991; solo albums discussed in these reviews include Elements of Persuasion, Impermanent Resonance and Beautiful Shade of Grey; reviews note collaborations with Marco Sfogli and Mike Mangini; Beautiful Shade of Grey credits his son Chance on drums (as mentioned in a review); reviewers discuss his melodic vibrato, studio vocal strength, and criticisms of some live performances (as reported in reviews).

DeBaser reviews of James LaBrie’s solo output are mixed. Elements of Persuasion receives substantial criticism for its nu-metal/electronic choices and perceived resemblance to Dream Theater. Impermanent Resonance and later work are seen as more varied and melodic with notable electronic elements. Beautiful Shade of Grey is highlighted for its acoustic direction and convincing studio vocals, while live vocal performance is criticized in at least one review.
