Dream Theater (Official Thread)

[Magic]

I have restored the entire thread, making it nice and neat for the new album!

But I will leave you with what I am currently listening to….
The Astonishing Full Album

 

[TageRyche]

After the Images & Words and Awake albums, I confess that I kind of phased out of listening to Dream Theater. But the Octavarium and Train of Thought albums brought me back for a little while. But then I kind of got away from them again.

I heard the first song from the upcoming album and I don't think it is going to make me run out and buy the album. The song was okay but it didn't really hit home for me beyond that.

Their last great album was still with Mike - Black Clouds and Silver Linings.

Most people consider that a fairly limp end to the MP Era, and that maybe he was right, that the band needed a break.


The Mangini Era is filled with excellent albums and great tunes. Not saying you did this, but a lot of people dismissed it out of hand, and I never understood that. I actually liked what they were doing, and I've ultimately been lukewarm about MP coming back. I think the way that the band is run can certainly use his input, but musically, not so much.

The ultimate key to Night Terror will be being able to latch onto the instrumental section, and that ain't going to happen in only a couple of listens.
