Yes: Cure for the Insomniac!

I am sick and tired of listening to you old folk talk about how you don't enjoy quality acts such as Dream Theater. One reviewer said it's not to his taste...ok then that's fine. So let me have my say now. If i want to fall asleep or have a good laugh, I'll listen to Yes or Genesis or Pink Floyd (etc). C'mon you oldies...this music is not as great as you all say it is. I am a 25 year old bachelor of music composition graduate and have been playing the keyboard, guitar and drums for a little over 10 yrs, so I AM a musician, unlike most of you. But instead of going into a lengthy essay about why this music is just plain boring, I'll just do what so many of you people do and say 'it's not to my taste'. So there you have it, I voiced my opinion and I don't care if you don't care but I am honest to God when I say that crappy old school prog rock bores me to tears and no matter how many times I listen to Yes' 'Close to the Edge', I will never understand why you guys get boners over it. The music is nothing earth shattering. But it's fine, if you oldies get so excited and this sorta stuff makes your hair stand up...well that's fine...but seriously now, just make sure you know there are educated musicians like myself who simply find it all boring.

Steve.

Hello DT15

I've just posted your review of Foxtrot in a thread. Would you like to take this opportunity to elaborate on what you think of albums such as Foxtrot, Close to the Edge etc. Perhaps you'd also like to state why you think Dream Theater are so good. I'm not saying they're not, It's just better grounds for discussion if you actually say why you do or do not like something.

I would have seriously considered your opinion-- IF you only limited your opinion here in this post. But no-- to make yourself heard, you gave Foxtrot and Close to the Edge 1 star (so that everyone can see it in the Prog arch home page) and wrote the same garbage. You think you are the only musician in the forum? I am a musician myself and I bet at least 10 percent members of the forum are musicians.
Hey nobody asked you to like Yes or Genesis. You make your choice and don't get in my way. I will not try to attack your taste-- but I can spew venoms too on your taste if you get in my way.

DT15,

Welcome to the site. Just to be clear though, it is no acceptable for you to "make yourself heard" by ignoring the sites rules. Your reviews have been removed.

quote: (sorry i lost it when the topic got closed):I'm jumping up and down in anticipation waiting for an essay from a REAL musician to tell me where I have been going wrong all these years. You are very thoughtful.

I am obviously not telling you that you have been going wrong all these years. I hope that post was a joke. I am merely going to discuss the musical attributes of a particular album and then evaluate it based on musical analysis.

Im sorry if I upset any of you. I didn't know you all took everything you read on the internet so seriously. My reviews are deleted now (obviously giong to happen), so I hope you still want to read my real review unless you've spit the dummy.

I cannot wait to read your reviews.

I think I cancel my plans for the weekend. What a joy.

Let me think. I would kindly ask you to review something of VDGG, something of IQ, something of Italiian prog and of course all the albums of Dream Theater.
I will log in saturday morning 9 AM. I know this will be a suitable deadline for you.

 

Under,he has written detailed essays on DT and other proficient bands such as LTE.He is obviously a DT fanboy(Nothing wrong with DT,I love them)but I bet you everything he writes about will be DT and DT side project and solo album related.

Probably thinks Premiata Forneria Marconi is on the menu in an Italian restaraunt.

I do believe you're being more immature than me. PS: what makes you think this is my first day here. I have been going to this site for around a year-2 yrs

It's your first day as a FORUM MEMBER.

Porbably thinks Premiata Forneria Marconi is on the menu in an Italian restaraunt. Please don't assume you know me. And writing essays actually makes me a music critic and NOT a fan boy.

You assumed that you knew us.

You know,all us old geezers and our ancient music.

DT15 You have two ears and one mouth for a good reason.

Look, listen, evaluate before passing judgement and spouting forth.

I bet your teachers had 'fun' with you in class.
