Sounds accurate. Their first 4 albums and Pictures are pretty good.

metal

Dream Theater will never be brilliant again IMO (well not in the studio, only live) They haven't been since 1999. It's almost scary how many albums absolutely pulverized Systematic Chaos for better 2007 albums.

I have to rebuttal against you here Harry - and it's just a matter of opinion.
I love 6 Degrees thanks to it's adventurous first disc which includes
one of my all-time favorite tracks, Blind Faith, and the amazing second
disc which shows them dare to be symphonic. Granted, I was let down by
both Train of Thought and Octavarium, but I think that Systematic Chaos
is exactly where they should be right now. Bringing in the heaviest
elements that they've ever used along with the symphonic feeling of
some of their more recent works. Granted, the lyrics often come off as
cheese and I think that Forsaken was a step in the wrong direction, but
the rest really seems to click with me. Ministry Of Lost Souls, in my
opinion, is the best thing they've done since their Awake days.
I don't expect a counter arguement, that's just my opinion

Honestly part of what really makes me kinda pissed off about Systematic Chaos, I just think the band wasn't even close to their full potential on that record. Does anyone even realized how incredibly well developed Jordan Rudess's orchestration abilities are? The guy could do something really amazing, but instead, its another "widdly widdly dooooo" keyboard solo. Enough already. He has so much more talent than that, and it never gets utilized The band could have progressed much further given how talented Petrucci and Rudess really are, but it doesn't show in SC.
