Does...not...compute..Those are all CD versions, 2 with the patches and the expensive one is regular CD. The digital edition is cheaper than the regular edition. As I said the ones with the Free Patch are the cheapest: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Astonishing-Dream-Theater/dp/B018I0FA76/ref=sr_1_1?s=dmusic&ie=UTF8&qid=1450030629&sr=1-1-mp3-albums-bar-strip-0&keywords=dream+theater+the+astonishing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) I've ordered my copy I went with the edition with the Amazon "Exclusive" Empire Patch. And I can always cancel it before Jan 29 if I find it cheaper elsewhere. Edited December 13, 2015 by treeduck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x1yyz Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I've got a general DT question... If Myung is such a great bassist, why is he always buried in the mix to the point where you can barely hear him? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Myung is such a great bassist, why is he always buried in the mix to the point where you can barely hear him? Phew! Thought I was alone in thinking this. You're not the only ones. It's been a debate for years. Yeah, you don't really hear him that well a lot of the time unless there is a specific point in a song where he does a little solo or something. He is playing though. If you watch him live, he's going to town on that bass. But what exactly is he playing? Who knows? But he is doing stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnus 2112 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 If they go to Vancouver I'll go. I saw them last tour, and now I need to see them every time, like Rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myung is a great bass player just for keeping up with those crazy time signatures they use. That said though, he just follows John Petrucci most of the time, and that's why he's so buried in the mix. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Myung is such a great bassist, why is he always buried in the mix to the point where you can barely hear him? Myung is beyond great. Might be one of the best bassists ever.Sure he doubles up JP a ton but IMO that's what helps make the DT sound.* *That and random circus music. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 If you isolate his bass sound you'll notice how good he is. On recent albums the drums are rather thin, so you can hear him a bit more. On "Along for the Ride" his tone is quite similar to Geddy's Rickenbacker for example.

djflex Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 So ..... If i was to get a blu ray or dvd show from DT which is best one out there ? Thanks in advance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del_Duio Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Score, then the new one Breaking the Fourth Wall. Budokhan LOOKS the best but James' voice doesn't hold up well after This Dying Soul. Which is the 2nd song :( 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
