MullMuzzler was the first solo project of Dream Theater's vocalist James LaBrie. He released two solo albums under the name of MullMuzzler on the record label Magna Carta, but on his latest solo album (Elements of Persuasion) he dropped the name MullMuzzler out and released it under his own name. Musically James LaBrie's MullMuzzler is progressive rock and uses some of the elements that also Dream Theater use, but still differs eminently from Dream Theater's style, thus making a unique soundscape and identity on the two albums.
