Recommended Posts

I asked the exact same question on CP in June - I'd never heard them before, but noticed the name coming up again and again so made some enquiries.

 

I bought two albums, which were superb

 

Metropolis 2 - Scenes from a Memory & Images and Words.

 

Excellent stuff

I'm not a big DT fan, but I love Portnoy. The guy is astounding.

Check this out - I will prob. remove it tomorrow (or tonight if it kills bandwidth), but this is a little clip I captured. It may take a while to download, its 9 megs.

Imo We must dinguish between 2 bands:

The old Dream Theater,with Kevin Moore,who created a masterpiece called "Images & Words"

The current Dream Theater,an average prog-metal band.

P.s:Red Barchetta sung by LaBrie is awesome.

Well, to each his own. I tried to get into the old DT stuff many years back and just didn't like it at all. By contrast, I LOVE their newer stuff, '97 onwards, and would highly recommend them to anyone who is into challenging music played by overwhelmingly talented musicians.

 

That said, I have two big complaints:

 

1. James LaBrie seems like a decent guy and certainly has a passion for what he does, but I just really do not like his vocal style. (But the music is strong enough to appeal despite his vocals.)

 

2. There's at least one completely lame cheesefest ballad on every album. I literally find at least one track on almost every album completely unlistenable. But I LOVE the rest!

 

BTW -- I saw these guys open for Yes a couple years back, and they played "Machine Messiah." Sweet!

Awake. A f*ckin' masterpiece.

In case no one noticed, this is an old thread that tangy bumped. R.R. is a big Dream Theater fan, this thread had me scratching my head for a minute.
