 Topic: DT Train vs 8V
Posted: April 24 2006 at 19:49 |
Now that Octavarium has been out for over a year, which album is more to your liking?
I think Octavarium is way ahead. I didnīt really take to Train at all.

Octavarium, easily. ToT was okay, but Octavarium is miles ahead.

They come very close for me but I choose Octavarium only because of the variety in sound.
It would be nice if we could mix the best songs from those 2 albums to
make 1 super good one. Imagine In the name of god, This dying soul,
Panic atack, Octavarium, Stream of conciousness and others in one album!
I'd say :

Train of Thought is my favorite as a whole, but some of Octavarium's material, primarily the last two songs, is fantastic. Those ending tracks are among their finest songs, and possibly my favorite point between both albums (at least right now).

hard to choose. I liked Train of thought but it was a little too metal and soloy for my taste, so I'll have to go with Octavarium, which is a little bit softer & more melodic. I think in octavarium DT has a little less soloing than usual, which makes it more listenable, though I could do without the modern influences (I walk beside you).

Train of Thought is a better album but I enjoy Octavarium (about half of it) more because I generally enjoy softer stuff.

Octavarium is far more diverse and better composed. And I'm sick of most metal at this point.

I thought ToT had some very strong moments but also some very weak moments, 8V even though more commercial sounding had more better songs on it, the title track won this with ease

At this moment ToT wins this one for me.
I think that that album was the only one from DT so far I didn't have
to get used to. I sounded excatly the way I wanted it to sound.
Still one of the most-played DT cd's I have.
