LaBrie has since had a significant impact on the vocal melodies on each Dream Theater album, but until recently has had little input on the instrumentation of Dream Theater's music; 2011's "A Dramatic Turn of Events" features LaBrie in the music credits on three songs. To date he has written or co-written lyrics for at least one song on nine of the thirteen albums Dream Theater has released with him in the band, "Images and Words," "Black Clouds & Silver Linings", "Dream Theater" and "The Astonishing" containing none of them.
