I liked octavarium when i firs heard it. It was the first DT album i ever heard, and i thought it was beautiful. Oh how horribly wrong i was. Octavarium is probably the worst album i've heard by DT other than When Dream And Day Unite. It's bad for DT but if it was released by another band it would be that band's best album.

I would say TooL are a great band, constatntly getting better. So is Pain Of Salvation.

 

 

Now if one considers The Mars Volta to be metal, as some people do, then we have nothing to worry about.

When will you come convulsing to my basement?

The last 2 Fates Warning studio albums Disconnected (2000)and FWX (2004) were EXCELLENT - no loss in quality AT ALL

there's a different approach

they sound a bit 'boring' to my ears, because I believe FW found this modern 'pattern' and keep repeating themselves after Apsog

I dissagree. I love tool, but IMO, their cds have been going down ever since undertow. not to say thay AEnima and Lateralus wernt great, but they just dont hold up quite like undertow

I figured most people would, but let me also say that i feel that they have been declining, but i by no means am saying they have fallen.  I just think that heir later albums dont hold up, because undertow was so well done, they had very little room for improvment.  But let me also say that i am eagerly anticipating teir new album this year.

It seems like Tool releases an album every three to five years. What happened to the good old days when bands would release top quality albums every year or so? I don't know how you Tool fans have the patience. They are way too slow.

It works for me, it's better to be slow and produce very good albums every 5 years

than produce average albums every 2-3 years (I don't want to mention the name......)

I really don't think the great prog-metal bands are going downhill, especially Dream theater. This thread seems like a magnet to people who now dislike these bands. It seems as though everyone is being too much like angry critics.

Eh...no. Except for Scenes, Awake and Images and Words are DT's most consistent releases. And Falling into Infinity isn't as bad as some narrow-minded progheads say.

After Awake (saving Scenes), all of DT's releases have high and low points, without a single completly solid album. This is my opinion. I love the 2nd disc of SDOIT, but the first is riddled with poor artistic choices.
