Dream Theater (Official Thread)

For my money Portnoy leaving his band has been a 'win/win', one instance where the old band has been rejuvenated and Portnoy has enjoyed success with all his other projects.

I like what he's done outside of DT, and I feel that is the main reason he left along with wanting an extended time out for a while.(Like Tool does regularly) I'm sure he still likes his old friends in the band, but after stepping out and doing other things with new people it inspired him and made going back to the 'same old' impossible.

I have the new studio album, and I like it.

The CD is really good...hey if you do end up getting the new live DVD....go Blu ray on this one

I am thinking of getting the Score album. I haven't heard it, but I think it would be my cup of tea.

That's how I look at it too. Glad he seems to be enjoying doing other projects and moved on from DT.

Up til now, I have bought every Dream Theater release on the release date. Studio album, DVD, you name it. But I still haven't picked up "Live At Luna Park. After XX live albums, I have decided to have a bit of patience and wait until I can get it at mid price.

I'm in total agreement with you SDM, these days bands release so many 'live recordings' in between studio albums it's almost too much of a good thing. The one issue the digital 70 minute-CD has done is increase the time between albums to over 2 years, I liked the old days much better one album/year, 40+ minutes of new material to look forward to from your favorite bands and when they did release a live album it was an event, not just '**-hum another live record'.

Couldn't agree more.

mangini


To respond to a piece of good news with animated, speechless, exuberant excitement. Named after musician Mike Mangini, who was rather pleased to be selected as Dream Theater's new drummer.

When Edna found out she was going to be a mother, she manginied so hard and for so long that she almost gave herself a hernia.
