The Owl Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 QUOTE (EmotionDetector @ Jun 29 2009, 08:08 AM) I still need to get around to listening to the whole new album. However, I had to chime in and say that I popped in Octavarium a few days ago, and have been listening to it in the car all weekend. The album is f'n strong! It was an album that I bought when it was released, then listened to it once, it didn't really stick with me, so I stored it away. So glad I gave it another chance...because I think it's extremely strong. What do other DT fans think of Octavarium?? 8varium is probably my second favorite album after SFAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Elf who is replacing Pain of Salvation is a band from LA, they are a metal/prog/glam rock band I have listend to some of their stuff on youtube, and they kind of sound like Genesis/King Crimson meets Sabbath meets Bowie... very cool...... looking foward to seeing them.

By the way, do you know anything about the prog 09 replacement bands ? no, i did not think it was directed at me. i made a scale the summit thread last week after they announced the change and put in some links to what i considered to be good songs. i had never heard of these guys before but they seem good. going to bump that thread after this post. kinda like LTE in that it is intense instrumental music.

Cowtothesky Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I have never been a Dream Theater fan, but I picked up the latest CD, "Black Clouds & Silver Linings" just to hear some new stuff. I am totally blown away. What a great album. The Count of Tuscany is a masterpiece. I love it! I have only had the CD for a couple days now and haven't really given the entire album a listen - I am stuck on Count of Tuscany right now. I am currently digesting this song, which is like eating a 9 1/2 lb steak. MMmm, and it tastes good. I can't say I'm a huge fan of Portnoy, although I think the guy is really talented. It just isn't my favorite style of percussion work. too much double bass drum for me. But, the music composition is just a delight to hear. Jordan Rudess is the new Rick Wakeman IMO. The guy is THAT good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is THAT good. Its a great disc and I am leaning towards to thinking it is the best DT disc of the Rudess era. From a lyric perspective, I have not connected emotionally as hard to a DT song, namely The Best of Times since A Change of Seasons. 28 days and counting to my PN 2009 date!
