OCTAVARIUM

All I'm going to say is... For all those people that think this album is the greatest thing since sliced bread, get a life! I'm a major fan of Dream Theater - hell I've got all the albums, been to as many live gigs as possible and done as much to do with the band as possible. And frankly, I'm dissapointed with this album. Fair enough, Octavarium is progressively excellent but to me it sounds a bit too corny. As other people have said, its good but its no great. Sacrificed Sons, to me, is the actually 'evolutionary' song for Dream Theater. The others are... well... I'd rather not waste space on this site slagging them off. So all in all, I'd say that this is so much worse than anything this awesome band have produced - ever. And just one more thing that I noticed that everybody's been saying - Train of Thought was not a bad album. In fact, I'd say it was one of they're stronger ones. But enough of that... The album is 'listenable' but nothing else. End of.
