Dream Theater got me into the wonderful sphere of prog... and for that I am grateful.

When will they announce the new drummer? They've been, so far, very good at keeping it under wraps. Particularly in this Internet day and age, where news travels fast.

You have to remember that the popularity of the band will automatically attract negative posts. I usually don't comment on them because I haven't found much from them that grabs me. That doesn't mean it is bad or certainly someone else doesn't love it. I do like their side projects for the most part. I must be a rare person as I have seen Portnoy play 3 times live (will be 4 in May) and none of them were with DT. I try and stay away from the negative comments about any band.

Dream Theater was my favourite band for quite a while. Probably second now, next to VdGG.

Swap Metropolis with Awake, I & W with Black Clouds, and Six Degrees with Octavarium, and I'll agree with that. I can't understand why some people think that DT fans 'worship' the band. I merely enjoy their music, it that so wrong that I should get completely slammed for it, it doesn't happen with any other band on the forum!

Well I was obviously pretty naive in thinking anyone who didn't care for DT would just not bother posting on the thread. But apparently the hate is just too strong

That's too bad when we as music lovers, particularly of the prog form...have to go to another website/forum to not get "forum bashed" or feel unwelcomed, especially on this site. People should just read the post title and if it not interesting to them then do not enter it........but I am sure my post will get slammed also.

His latest one, yea, I agree, was horrid. It was practically screamo.  I'm guessing they'll start to lean more towards Petrucci and Rudess' solo material.

Overall...Dream Theater is OK
They have 3 really good albums: Awake, Train of Thought, and Octavarium 3 decent ones (some good songs, some not) I&W, Metropolis and Six Degrees 3 bad albums Falling Into Infinity, Systematic Chaos and Black Clouds I don't know the debut so can't make an opinion on it. So yeah, that pretty much is the definition of "OK" in my book They are talented and have good stuff though. So I LOL at both the Fanboys who worship them as gods (since they've made some really bad music) but also the people that hate them with the passion of a million suns. |

All threads on this site about DT always start great then flare up into a white hot light then come crashing down into a small but very ugly pile of goo.
