I've been a fan since I&W and seen them about 5 times. I was always more into the older era of DT music but really do like all their output. With that said I was also growing a bit tired of their last few albums. Not since Six Degrees have I really been obsessed with a DT album. However, though I am not going as far as to say I am obsessed with ADTOE I believe it to be a big step in the right direction for me. The only song that i am not into is BMU/BMD. Bridges and Outcry are absolutely fantastic songs. |

Huh, because this is a forum and that's what forums are for!! I don't agree with his analysis either, but if we all just agreed with everything, this would be a pretty damn boring forum! |

Well, this album, for me, as a person who has followed Dream Theater since they put out their first album, is the best thing they've released since 6DOIT.

I ABSOLUTELY love this album. It has replaced Octovarium as my favorite Dream Theatre album. It is a masterpiece.

Wow, it looks like a lot of people feel like being stepped on their toes. I think the first post is well written and backed up good with his opinions. Then there are some other members that attack him with posts that do not contain any motivation why, but looks like just to attack the OP. Or they are fanboys that can handle a negative view on their favorite band. You tell me...

Or they are fanboys that can handle a negative view on their favorite band. You tell me... Wow, that's like $85! That is a lot. I think I paid $55 in Atlanta with all the ticket fees included. Check out this lyric video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_692115&v=Fa8mB5F_-CA&src_vid=uenWqaf-clQ&feature=iv I honestly didn't like this song too much before I saw this, but now I can't get it out of my head. And I usually like the heavier songs better (I'm one of the odd Systematic Chaos fans). I think it's the lyrics that really touched me. Just beautiful writing. 1000 times better than any pop crap out there. Of course the other 4 you mentioned really rock (though Lost Not Forgotten I really can't get into) and I think Breaking All Illusion is their best song in well over a decade. |

=Crash_of_Doom said: Or they are fanboys that can handle a negative view on their favorite band. You tell me... In response to your first statement, I'd say that's definitely a possibility on here. I get what you're saying with the album. I feel the same way. I like it, but i won't open itunes and go "awesome, let's go straight to ADTOE" like I did with older albums. I think it's just the fact that it's such a "safe" album. There's a few moments that make you really stick your head out and go "oooh thats interesting", but there are quite a few moments that just seem so DreamTheaterish that its overdone... to the point where you just go "meh"... I think that's the best way to describe the feeling as i see it. Is that what you're getting? |

yeah, for the most part. Yesterday when i was cycling home after work, i think i figured it out for myself. It's missing the essential spark that DT had before. It all sounds too clean and i miss the passion. It's more or less a keyboard and guitar fest, because the songs were written without creative input from MM. I think that's why it doesn't grasp me, because it doesn't sound like a whole band. Don't get me wrong, this is no disrespect towards MM, he did a great job. Something has changed in the chemistry of the band and i think that's the reason why this album doens't really grasp me. |
