I'm sorry.

For which part?

I mean, the obvious answer is that the album does not come out until June 23. Last album, I got a couple of songs early but they were not very good quality. And frankly, I don't know how I would go about getting the album now (if that is what you're suggesting). I don't do Limewire or Pirate Bay.

Talk to Reaper. Quality is fine. Buy it when it comes out. More vague? Possibly.

Those two dude's can shred. Kind of a younger feel than I like, but I respect the old style shredding they do.

Listening to DT now. Awesome.

What are the best older songs by DT?

I think Dream Theater's best albums, by far, are their first three w/ James LaBrie: Images and Words, A Change of Seasons, and Awake. Well, A Change of Seasons is an EP, but that song is awesome.

Yeah, this is DT's best album since Scenes From a Memory. There are parts in each song that I dislike, and I really don't care for The Shattered Fortress because it has like two minutes of new material (the other 98% is recycled bits, I mean references, from the other songs in the AA cycle), but taken on the whole its a strong record. The Count of Tuscany, despite its terrible lyrics, is a sweet closing song. Wither is probably DT's best song in a long, long time.

I agree with most of this, except that I have to say that I like ROP the best, or even the count - to this point; but I'm not slamming your opinion at all. After that last work, which I really hate to say I didn't like that much, I needed to hear this from them - this is the best since Scenes, IMO as well :clap:

I think what he means is why not torrent it just to get a feel for it and then purchase it when it is released?

you can also find "Wither" and "Rite Of Passage" on youtube in fine quality if you don't want to hear the rest of it until it's released, it's awesome Lzen - you're going to love it!

Anything off "Scenes From A Memory" but off that record, "Home, Scene Six" and dance Of Eternity, Scene Seven" but the whole thing is tits!

Train Of Thoguht, "Honor Thy Father" "This Dying Soul" "Stream Of Unconciousness (instrumental from hell)"

Octavarium - the whole fuggin thing

Images and Words, the whole fuggin thing

If you have been touched by any sort of Mental disorder, be it yourself or freind/family member - Six Degrees will move you deeply with the stories but the music is out of this world as well - their most "piano heavy" is that's fair to say, possible - Jordan's debut with the band

Awake - Lie - Space Dye Vest, and the rest of the album too, lol!


okay - all of them!

I wasn't a big fan of Systematic Chaos but all their live work is excellent as well, they ad lib a lot and do some outstanding instrumental medleys and stuff.

chagrin 05-21-2009 12:55 PM

I'd also add that on this latest work, the JP solo beginning about 10:00 in, is heart felt, emotional, technical and kick ass, until about 11:40 I think when it becomes a long dramatic repetitive piece; then again it's about the end of a parent's life, so I think he was making it to be theatrical kinda...whatever, great record!

Ok, I will try it. I know I will love it. DT has never disappointed me. Unlike what you say about Systematic Chaos, I absofreakinlutely love that album.

So then I'm gonna guess that you really enjoy former keyboardist Kevin Moore's songwriting.

Not to pick on you, bro, but you are wrong. Jordon Rudess's first studio album with DT was Scenes From A Memory. ;)

I love SC for In The presence of enemies 1 and 2.

Love those tracks.
