"Cut To The Cakes"

"Creamline"

"Working Pan"

"The Camera Pie"

 

R rated and I'm happy with that.

I can't believe that Hemispheres is going to be voted out. There is not a single song on it which is not awesome.

 

Moving Pictures.

Here Again.

Time And Motion for the 3rd time.

Dog Years, easy one.

Moving Pictures again.

An unnecessary vote for Cut To The Chase.

Finally!

 

Cut To The Chase.

Goddammit! Stick it Out for the 4th time!

Stick It Out again. Should have been out ages ago.

 

And leave Double Agent alone! Such a good song...

Moving Pictures again.

Maybe:

Got to pick up the pace

If you want to stay in the race (Marathon) ?

 

Or is 1980 some sort of a hint?

Working Man, but I love the groove in What You're Doing.

Moving Pictures.

Stick It Out for the 3rd time.

Exit... Stage Left

I like Dream Theater. They're not my favourite band and I'm not a fan who defends them at all costs, but I'd be lying if I said that I don't like them. Dream Theater was the link through which I got into Rush and some other progressive rock and metal bands and I'm glad that I didn't miss their music.

 

However, there are some things about DT I don't like:

- Jordan Rudess' style of playing. His permanent urge to show off his skills without caring for the song is getting on my nerves.

- Mike Portnoy's need to do really everything concerning the band's business.

- Shredding fests that lead to nowhere and destroy some songs.

 

But still, I enjoy most of their music and I hope that this won't change fast.

Two suggestions:

 

- Afterimage:

I remember the shouts of joy

Skiing fast through the woods

I hear the echoes

 

- The Enemy Within:

Suspicious-looking stranger

Flashes you a dangerous grin

Shadows across your window

Was it only trees in the wind?

Stick It Out again.

Stick It Out.

Hold Your Fire. There are some very good songs on it (Force Ten, Time Stand Still, Mission), but the rest doesn't really do anything for me.
