tangy Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 QUOTE (the_masked_drummer @ Jan 15 2007, 07:48 AM) Someone asked before if there was a dream theater forum. This is the only one I found listed on Wikopedia: Dream Theater Forums I think that board has been closed. try www.mikeportnoy.com for a DT forum.

Dreamline Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Thanks guys - it was me that asked. I'd tried the Mike Portnoy forums but it didn't seem terribly active (at least not with threads that seemed that important) - the other one seems to be active though - I'll check it out.

wayshway Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I like DT but have to take them in small doses. Too much endless noodling after a while. I love Falling into Infinity even though the production stinks. I'm happy they didn't use Kevin Shirley on the newest CD. That guy is the worst producer ever. Every album after Awake sounds like crap. No amount of EQ can make those albums sound good no matter how hard I try. Listen very closely to the snare drum on "Scenes of a Memory". It sounds like an old cassette that's out of phase. Listen to the crap production quality on the past few Iron Maiden albums. I don't get how anybody would use Kevin Shirley. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that Kevin Shirley is a terrible producer. ttyl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchetaxe&saw Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 QUOTE (Hatchetaxe&saw @ Dec 8 2006, 02:46 PM) OK, I bought my first DT album, "Once In A Livetime". It's excellent!!What should be my next purchase?? And after that, and so on. Well, it's now 7 or 8 weeks since i posted this, and I now possess all the studio albums, live albums and DVDs'. What an amazing band. I have not been as excited about a band in years. Whilst all of the albums have impressed me( the live section of A Change Of Seasons I could live without, and some of the power-ballads!!), Images and Words, 6DOIT and Scenes From a Memory are my favourites. I only started playing Octavarium yesterday, but early signs are good( I listened to the live versions on Score last week), a bit U2/Muse-like in spots, but sounds great. But, Scenes From a Memory is just incredible. I've played the whole thing daily for 3 weeks now, plus watching the DVD whenever I get a chance. Amazing album. Cannot wait for the new album, and maybe take in an Irish or British show if they come to these parts. The live DVDs are excellent, you could watch them playing all day. If I had one quibble it would be that La Brie seems to be a bit of a charisma-free zone on stage. Comes across as a thoroughly decent chap off stage though.

You're in for a treat if you do manage to catch them. Been lucky enough to see them on the last three UK tours and they've impressed more and more each time, James LaBrie in particular - his performances are improving all the time. The thing I like most is the way they change the set list each night. Saw both shows at Hammersmith in 2005 and they only repeated one song over the two nights. Superb Totally agree about SFaM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paradigm Shift If you go to Ytse Jam Records you can get the "official" bootlegs, which are great. Highly recommend their cover of Floyd's Dark Side of The Moon, they did a fantastic job of it (and I was there!) Can also recommend John Petrucci's solo album, Suspended Animation, and Mike Portnoy's Liquid Drum Theater tutorial dvd, if you like that kind of thing it's excellent.

I guess Spock's Beard are next for an aural ransacking. Any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
