I did like The Dark Eternal Night..but that was meant to be raw. He just wants to do more then he's supposed to...his ego is quite large. LaBrie is great...he doesn't need any backups.
Petrucci doesn't seem to be for a backup.

I don't think they should have lyrics/vox at all actually.

John Myung should do the backups instead.

I think his backing vocals are bad, he's not a good singer, especially on Constant Motion from Systematic Chaos.  I don't think they should let him do backup.

I hate them. I couldn't tell you from a technical perspective what's wrong with them, but they just don't sound good.

It's a personal issue of mine and maybe mine only (who knows) that when Mike Portnoy takes to the microphone I don't hear any positive gain to the vocal department of Dream Theater.
 Maybe I just don't like his voice or maybe he is a little off key whatever it is  I'm hearing something unmusical in the quality of his vocals I mean its hardly a Steve Walsh , Robbie Steinhardt vocal arrangement Dream Theater have.
 I`m somebody who thinks James Labrie is a fine singer he deserves better back up ,  either way I felt I better ask you people what you think,    should Mike leave the Mic alone in future ?
