Dream Theater... The thing about their discography is I can't say there was a certain era that was better than any other... This means that with the future at hand, they can either break this streak by finally releasing several great albums consecutively, or terrible ones.

 

Each pairing through their timeline has a strong half, and a subpar to unlikable half.

 

Red = Subpar or Unlikable

 

Dream and Day Unite

Images & Words

 

Awake

Falling Into Infinity

 

Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory

Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence

 

Train of Thought

Octavarium

 

Systematic Chaos

Black Clouds & Silver Linings

 

A Dramatic Turn of Events

Dream Theater

 

I agree with your list. Save for I was never really fond of Awake. I really enjoy FII. and throw out both Black Clouds and Chaos.

One way to find out:

 

Ask Portnoy what he thinks about Shia Lebouef!

Portnoy is great technical player, too bad he doesn't understand how to play with other musicians. A Band is a TEAM. He thinks HE is the band. WRONG, idiot. EqgigUb.gifeCGjAWW.gif

Port "ANNOY" should just go away. Like Metallica.

 

No. The last two Metallica albums are two of their very best.

A friend of mine who works directly with him says he has a bipolar type of behaviour: he can be gentle with his crew in one minute, and overreact about minor issues on the next. At one point, when he had just left Dream Theater, he refused to take a photo with my friend's wife after a concert, just because she was wearing a Black Clouds and Silver Linings - an album he played on!!!!

LARS = PORTNOY

 

Two short drummers with EGOS the size of Donald Trump.

 

Assholes with drumming talent.

 

Both should retire! IMPEACH LARS AND PORTNOY!!!! LOL!!!!

 

 

"EAT A PEACH!"

 

Love,

 

The Allman Brothers

 

I've seen both play. NEITHER were born to play with other musicians....o5Qy1rb.jpg

Someone should get Mike a waaaaambulence.

 

Here's how he should respond: Guy in Mike Magnini DT shirt: Here please sign my copy of images and words: Mike: Nice shirt but you do know I didn't play on that album right? Guy in shirt: Yeah, but I'm not asking you to sign my shirt just the booklet of this cd. Mike: Ok.

 

 

That should be the end of the discussion but obviously it's not.

Sure it might be annoying -kinda - but Portnoy quit the band. And he also maintained that he and DT were on good terms (as far as I know).

 

I like the new DT - and the Mangini version has inspired me to listen more to earlier DT material. Wouldn’t have happened otherwise.

I really don't blame Mike for being annoyed.

 

There's a difference between being annoyed and letting the whole world know how thin skinned you are.

It was a bad look for him to tweet about it but I get where he's coming from. I wouldn't love it if someone came to my event wearing that shirt either. I wouldn't make a big deal out of it publicly because it's just a shirt and who cares, but I understand it. Edited by thizzellewashington

Considering that was 5 years ago i have to think that MP has to have done something else silly more recently....

 

Depending on your tastes in music, some of the projects he's been involved in over the past 5 years could be considered 'silly' (or at the very least time-wasting).
