There's nothing wrong with playing to your ability level, as long as it sounds great, which it does.  I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people here think Charlie Parker and John Coltrane solos are "instrument masturbation."

I think DT and PT are not in the same sport league , you know. I mean, this is like comparing the Toronto Raptors and Bluejays. Both play their leagues and they aer great.
 
Steven Wilson is a genius without a doubt but DT is an al time great band.

You don't make any sense at all.  Read again, I wasn't comparing their music.

Every band has their day. Seems like DT's has passed.

Don't worry, I know what I'm talking about.  I know more about jazz than most here.  What you're trying to get at is the Parker/Coltrane=Great, and Dream Theater=Bad.  But if I asked you how much you listened to either you would probably say very little to both.  The conclusion is that Parker and Coltrane are protected by their reputation (which is very well deserved), while Dream Theater's reputation on this site leaves them vulnerable.  Nobody wants to dislike the masters/the people they're expected to like.

hahahhah.. I'm not going to get into a pissing match with you. IF you want to think you know more.. go ahead and think so LOL.   Their reputation is well earned..through what has been many years and will be for the future of music .. or something like that hahaha.  Dream Theater hasn't earned that.. won't earn it...  and shouldn't earn it.  Great players does not always equal great music..   and Dream Theater for some.. even many.. is a perfect example of that.  Love them if you must.... but those who don't will offer our two cents why we don't.  Be it musically, importance,  or reputation.. to mention Dream Theater in the same context with those giants of music is laughable.  Disagree if you will.....

Over the years, if I understand correctly, PT has become less the Steven Wilson show, and more a entire band effort. After watching the Arriving Somewhere DVD, I saw a real band effort. After watching Score, I saw a bunch of guys individually showing off. I am beginning to see why so many dislike DT. Confused

They abandoned PA due to the incessant bashing their favorite band gets...


I'm here and I love DT!  I'm giving this album a good chance!  Both bands I'm anticipating will make huge breaks!  I've fallen in love with PT lately but DT will always be the roots of my Prog loving self with Rush!  As good as PT is and the good anticipation they have moving for this album I'm excited just to know that DT will be coming with another album!  They've never really let me down either.
I once was cool, but now I'm cold. Can you please turn up the heat.
