I very much liked Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence too, but I agree with you there. Systematic Chaos just feels like DT by the numbers to me, Octavarium's first and last tracks were good but didn't hold up as well to their expectations besides that, and Train of Thought was pretty odd as well. This last album will make or break my interest in future Dream Theater, to be honest. SYSTEMATIC CHAOS: Dream Theater, business as usual They went from mind f**k, to complete suck. Prog Metal in general is very downhill lately anyway, hence why I'm looking out more for Tech/Extreme stuff now.

Speaking of Tech/Extreme, I just got an Arcturus album recently. I just started it but so far it's pretty kickass.

To what are you referring? A post I made 2 or 3 pages back that I think you missed. Is it in here or the Shred Room?

Here.

'cause I made Dahlia and Pat jealous too.

STFU n00b!

No, it really is annoying me.

They haven't brought out a truly brilliant recording for 9 years.
9 freaking years.

I suppose. But at least now it doesn't really matter. Everyone seems to be content with the new policy. Okay discussion. Last night I listen to SFAM for the first time in about 3 months. It was not bad. That's definitely my favorite Dream Theater album.
