According to my understanding of the description 'technical' two albums spring to mind:
Gryphon - Red Queen to Gryphon 3
Island - Pictures
Gentle Giant - several tracks on most of their albums
However, I might be getting 'technical' and 'complex' confused?

I think you are getting the two confused as I don't find any of the above that technical, but definitely complex. In the case of Dream Theater, I think people mainly complain about the music being so technical that it is sterile, lacking any emotional impact. Personally I don't find that to be the case. One band I've always found to be a bit too technical such that the music is scripted to a Jazz - Folk musical formula is Pentangle (though I've never had a chance to listen to the music live which could change my opinion).

It depends what you mean by "technical."
Animals as Leaders is about as technical as it gets in my book.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.
