While I don't put "Systematic Chaos" as one of Dream Theater's best albums it is by no means a bad album. I especially love "Ministry of Lost Souls". The chords used in the intro are very powerful and I love John's acoustic work in the beginning enough that I'm learning how to play it right now. :good

I'm glad they're over losing Portnoy, and will get the new album as soon as it's out.:D

Will definitely purchase the new album. I grew to like A Dramatic Turn Of Events but we didn't get to know of Mangini's songwriting ability because apparently the drum parts had been written prior. This album will showcase it.

I believe that is why it is going to be a "S/T" album, to honor & showcase the new guy :grinthumb

I like that idea too. Hope they sneak in a drum solo on the album. :heheh:

I'll definitely give it a listen but I hope it's a better venture than "A Dramatic Turn of Events". I was pretty unimpressed with that album as a whole. There were select songs I really liked but that's now how I really want to enjoy a Dream Theater.

I love the Led Zeppelin medley they did on A Change of Seasons EP.


New track called The Enemy Inside. Sounds great.

Been listening to a lot of Dream Theater lately and I don't understand the bad rap that Systematic Chaos has on it. I think that album is vastly superior to the rushed effort that is Train of Thought. I honestly think Train of Thought is the weakest album DT have ever put out.
