In an effort to keep the Dream Theater poles more interesting. I have decided to ask this of you. Is Dream Theater the ultimate, or do you rather prefer the more eclectic Tales From Topographic Oceans. I really wanna know.

I considered making a Theatre vs. Dream Theater vs. Hamster Theatre vs. Soniq Theater
poll earlier today (well, really just Dream Theater vs. Hamster Theatre
since otherwise it would be a little too theatrical), but I'm now
particularly glad I opted for discretion... Anyway, I'm not a big fan of either so I might as well just flip a coin... It's Tales. |

That Panera cinammon crunch bagel was mighty tasty, but it just can't stand up to Metropolis Pt 1. I vote DT! Better luck next time Mr. Bagel and bring your "A" game next time.

Well...First of all...I voted for TFTO as a long time favourite of me.
But... I don't understand the poll results: TFTO 23 DT 10
If you look into the charts DT has 3 studio albums with the first 100 (SFaM at 19, with an average of 4.23 and 413 votes, I&W at 39, average 4.20 with 303 votes etc).
Yes - TFTO is 130 with an average of 3.97 and 255 votes.

as always the results fall short of the hype.. especially since my reviewing skills are not as good as I would like. I'm fair but not as good as I'd like.. especally compared to reviewers I admire like Ghost Rider and CertIfied. I haven't picked a style I like yet. I have 20 odd reviews with about as many different styles in reviewing them. I tried to just briefly give a synopsis, and a vibe for the 'Oxygene' and 'Voyage 34' and then went the track by track route for De De Lind's 'Io Non So Da Dove Vengo e Non So Dove Mai Andrò, Uomo e' il Nome Che Mi han Dato'. I'm not sure which I prefer yet.. don't get your hopes up for anything earthshattering ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

The fact that you people like Howe's playing on that album make me wonder how many of you are musicians.  Either way, the band was worse without Bruford, not that White is bad, but Bruford was a better fit. I don't fit in with a lot of the other "complainers" of that album, in the sense that I don't mind Anderson's lyrics/vox becuase he's always been an odd ball. I'm not really a lyrics person to begin with. The album I compare to a painter splashing colors around on a canvas. It might look cool but it is not very coherent and their is a lack of transition. This combined with what I feel is one of the worst guitar tone's in the history of music, (it is so thin, almost sounds like he's flat on every note) is what gets me. But, to each his own, I don't have a problem being bashed. And I am looking forward to this DT review, so I can lose the title of "most-hated" DT reviewer as I was aptly given in the abuse section. ------------- back from the dead, i will begin posting reviews again and musing through the forums |

@micky If I was going to rate things by what is essential because it was prog and what isnt essential based on that then reviewing would be completely pointless. For example, my DSOTM review. Everyone has heard it, so that means it should automatically be rated 5 stars? No. It doesn't. It's dumb because that would mean I might have 3 and 2 star albums I like more than 5 star albums. That's not really fair to me or to people reading my reviews. Reviews are always going to be subjective, no matter how objective you attempt to make them. Reviews, like music, are not a science. Example. Everyone likes the movie Gladiator. Or pretty much everyone. Let's suppose I don't like it, and I have reasons why other than, "the film is bad". Should I just go tell my friends to see it because everyone else likes it? No. That's what happens in the pop and mainstream world. You tell people to listen to things because everyone else has and everyone else likes it therefore you should like it too and listen to it. Also, I never accused any specific person of being or not being a musician, it was a general statement not directed at anyone, it was also more or less a sarcastic comment, maybe I should write sarcasm in big bold letters next time.  As to you wanting albums with scope? There are plenty of bands that release long "journey-like" songs. I'm not going to be able to find 10 prog albums because you have already limited yourself to that one album, regardless of what I have already found or might find in the future. You should rate the DT album with how you feel it is as an album, and not rate it because all the prog-metal fanboys like it. I rate with my heart, not with what people tell me I should rate something. @sacred You say I am subjective, yet your first response is entirely subjective calling him one of the most creative guitarists that ever lived. I could name 100 guitarists I think are more creative than him, and guess what, that's subjective too. So your subjectivity is ok and mine is not? As for the album? I've listened to it about 10 times over the course of 2/3 years. It's not like I just listened to it yesterday. Maybe "I just don't get it" as some of you say, and then again, maybe you "get it too much". No one can ever really prove either. Anyway, I am much happier listening to CTTE, Fragile, and Relayer, which I consider Yes's best works. ------------- back from the dead, i will begin posting reviews again and musing through the forums |

No biggie, all love here. I'm pretty open minded actually, I just typically have close-minded reviews, becuase well, I'm stating my opinions on something and it's therefore going to be close-minded, even though in reality I am open to many forms of expression, if that makes any damn sense. Now awaiting sacred's response as to how his subjectivity is better than mine. Tick tock. ------------- back from the dead, i will begin posting reviews again and musing through the forums |

We are all entitled to our subjectivity. That being said, I do think that Yes were forced to take a different direction with the addition of Alan White to the band and some feel that comprimises were made as a result. I am one of those, but his work on Tales is not bad really and his work on Relayer stands out as well.
As far as Steve Howe goes. He basically took the band from nowhere to stardom when he showed up on the third album. I used to be in the music business and I have met many musicians especially guitar players. Not one of them thinks Howe is anything less than masterful.
I do know one guy who likes DT and has even learned to Shred. Hey, he is pretty good. He will say, "Howe can't shred like me." I'll say, "can you write like Howe." We get together and all he wants to hear is music with shredders. I now realize he has trouble appreciating music for music's sake even though he calls himself a musician and can play a mean guitar.
Reviews that lean too heavily in the subjective dept. tend to be misleading. That's why I have trouble with your rating of Close to the Edge and Topographic Oceans. Both works are considered master works by any description and to give Tales one star and CttE five is very misleading and as a result I would have trouble using your review as a guide line unless I had the same subjective tastes as you. This could be useful for some but I think more care should be excercised in how ratings are dished out. You may not like Barry Bonds, but to say he a lousy baseball player is just plain wrong if you get my drift.
I do thank you for not being afraid to speak your mind. |

Barry Bonds is a bad example IMO, but I understand what you are saying anyways and won't get into it. However, not everyone equivilates Steve Howe to guitar genius, in fact, very few do as not many people know his name. Most people understand the name Jimmy Page and Jimi Hendrix, not Steve Howe, if you get my drift. I know exactly what you are talking about about the kid who plays a mean guitar, cause that was me about 3 years ago. I'm sure I'll learn more and think I am an idiot again 5 years from now, who knows, I might be even stronger about certain aspects of my opinions. I didn't write much for CTTE because well, it has about 500 reviews, mine is a small part of the picture. For an album by a band like 65 days of static I was more careful about my review becuase it was the 2nd one for the band, and I realized it would have a bigger impact than a review for CTTE. However, in the future, I will probably be ensuring that my reviews have more substance to them, as I was approached earlier about my DT review, basically because I didn't give the album 5 stars. ------------- back from the dead, i will begin posting reviews again and musing through the forums |

Those guitar magazines are usually horrible and have no idea what they are rating on. If you were to take a serious look into the guitar world, half the people they list wouldn't be in those magazines and you'd have a diverse display of guitarists. Ill take Bumblefoot as an example of a criminally underrated guitarist who will never get his praise because he isn't in a famous band. ------------- back from the dead, i will begin posting reviews again and musing through the forums |

Ok Kids, seeing there are not going to be any new Dream Theater polls for the next little while, I suggest you make use of the existing polls to get your Dream Theater fix  . Don't be shy, come on in and post away. Don't be afraid to push the envelope and go off on those most interesting tangents we all know and love. Oh ya, make sure you keep track of the thread you are in. Cross threads can be very confusing and we don't want to see any bruised feelings now do we???
Ok, this one is simple..........Dream Theater vs TFTO. Too easy you say???  |

Unfortunately that's not always a good thing, as in GWB's case. Also, no intention of making this political. Anyways, a horrible poll, dont compare a band to an album.

Oh, I think not. You can certainly compare a apple to a corn field.
1. A corn field takes up more space
2. Apples are in the same family as the rose
3. An apple a day keeps the doctor away
4. Corn out of that field is a good digestive cleaner (not to be confused with corn hole)
5. Who ever heard of taking a field of corn to the teacher???
6. Corn fields comprise lots of food
7. An apple is a small portion of food
8. Apple juice is yummy
9. You could land a plane in a corn field
This to name but a few of the comparisons that can be made between an apple and a corn field.

If one ever was to make a poll comparing apples to cornfields, I'd vote for apple. |

Of course stating the obvious we must agree then that: apple = diamond = TFTO
Cornfield = freshly fertilized field = DT

However, a freshly fertilized field isn't really bad, but of course I'd rather have the diamond. |

Reeeeeaally now. Dream theater is an awesome band, and TFTTO isn't even Yes' best album. But Yes would have to win out.
Anyway that's this old farts opinion.
But to be very serious Dream Theater really is an awesome band. I think of them as the Yes of the 21st century.

^Maybe DT's greatness will be one of those truths which you ridicule now but will one day be accepted as self-evident (see your signature). Some of us already see it this way. Maybe we're just ahead of our time.
