Any fans? This new album is going to be sick! Looks like this one is going to be pretty heavy!

I can't wait - one of my favorite bands. The only album I don;t like is falling into infinity

I can't freakin' STAND this band. Technical wank-fest at its finest. I literally get bored to tears every time I have given this band the time of day.

I like precisely 1 tune from DT, and that is Pull Me Under. Other than that.....icky blech from me.

I've always been a fan of the band and will check the new one out but
they've been going overboard on the more recent albums with the showing
off.

The song Sacrificed Son is a great example. It starts out as a
good ballad but for some reason they decided to put a long instrumental
section that completely ruins the song for me.

I've gotta admit, I have all of DT's albums but the last one did not much interest. Hopefully this one will be better.

I can’t always listen to them but sometimes I get them out of the shelf and really enjoy the music. But usually after 2 or 3 CDs they start to bore me. I have 5 of their albums, so I’m not sure if I want to get the new one.

I find that I have to be in the right mood to listen to them, otherwise I get bored. I don't have all of their releases, but of the 5 that I own, "Train of Thought" probably gets the most play.

The new one will probably fall into the "I'll pick it up eventually" category.

EDIT: I just watched/listened to that first song. I'm digging it, which just bumped them up on the "want list". When is the new album due out?

Great band. Can't wait for their new album.

June 5th

The new cd is heavy, well heavy for DT. Is close to a Metal album as their going to get. I've always enjoyed playing Dream Theater, they really have a interesting mix of fans. I often have members of really heavy bands refer to DT during interviews. After all they are top notch players, also a interesting band to be on Roadrunner. In the past 5 years the Metal labels have really diversified the types of bands they sign. Has anyone heard the DT Master Of Puppets bootleg??-TJ

I guess it because it was fun to hear a Progressive band playing a classic ass kicking Metal record! I haven't heard the other ones either-TJ

I like Dream Theatre... surprise right?

this stuff does remind me of 'Train of Thought'... honestly that was the first album I purchased by them. I remember 'when Dream and Day Unite' came out... I didn't like it at all. Everyone told me 'they sound like Rush'.... no they don't....

I loved 'Train' it's the album Metallica shoulda released instead of 'St. Crapola'.....

Octavarium had it's moments.... Live at Budakan version of 'In the Name of God' SIMPLY DESTROYS..... what a great melody riff and performance.....


has anyone heard 'Cygnus and The Seamonsters' ?????

E-Card with 2 songs - the one on youtube and the one they had as a free mp3 download - can't wait for the CD to come out

You can see how I rank them in the new topic I just did. One of my favorite bands and until now, I liked everything I've heard them do. I was however, disappointed in SC. It is not a bad album and it is growing on me, but I figured after 3 good albums they would finally release another masterpiece, but instead it was merely good.

While most get bored with the long instrumentals, I for one don't mind especially when watching them perform (I have all the DVDs except Score, which I will once I am able). I enjoy watching skilled musicians do their work, but I will agree that DT is better when they tone that stuff down a little (mainly because I like LaBrie's voice and, IMO they don't utilize him as much as they should).
