Unbelievable. As if fanboys weren't overbearing enough, this will open the door for a whole new set of them who will immediately assume they found DT first.

Honestly, this sounds like a flame war, to me. The guy has no business bringing the artgument into this thread, seeing as how it is unrelated except for the Dt connection.

They cracked the chart?
I hope they don't get charged too much to repair it.

I haven't got the LP yet - I'm not a particularly great fan, but this is great news and a huge rebuttal to all who that prog was dead

Well, according to Portnoy himself (check his forum), the best positions on the Billboard DT had, previously to this one, WERE: Systematic Chaos (#19) and Awake (#32).

Don't annoy him by saying that. He'll think its fixed or not "representative". |
what? If you want to drop the subject then drop it. I'd be happy to explain to you what I'm talking about if you want, but dont let it spill over into other threads. If you are just trying to make a joke then sorry, your intention does not come across well in text.

I haven't heard their newest, and am far from a DT expert, but can the success be attributed in part to the latest being a more mainstream metal album? Or because progressive music (and particularly progressive metal) has gained popularity, and more people can absorb it now? And because DT has managed to gain so many fans that are both hardcore proggers and non-hardcore proggers since it has a wider range of appeal than many of the more experimental acts. It's a likely a combination of factors, of course. Of course DT has a hardcore fan-base already, and is gaining many new fans. DT's idols, Rush, did very well with their latest as well.
