Dream Theater

[juggalotricksta]

Thanks for speakin up everyone. ToT is one of my favorite DT albums as well. I just dont like to see such a good album bashed so ignorantly. Youre not alone JoZ :thumb:

[Chu]

this is what petrucci sounds like. recorded from the budokan documentary, the audio and video isn't synced for some reason but you can hear him at least. you can also hear him clearly on ACOS and other songs on the live scenes from NY dvd, although at times i'd rather you couldn't.

Hey man, thanks heaps :)

Mike has pretty good vocal control, I think.

[The JoZ]

Joz I see you backin up ToT a lot. It seems like every third person just bashes it end to end, and I just wanna say I'm with you on that one. Its no less DT than any of their other albums, just because it has a little more edge to it. I've been watching you fight this one man battle, standing up for that album, and I second your motion.

:chug:

I appreciate that. :chug:

I mean, some people probably think I hate SFAM or I&W, since I am constantly putting those albums down. It's not that I hate them, it's just I like other albums better. I like a good softer song or ballad as much as anyone, but I also like to mosh about and headbang, and Train of Thought is excellent for this.

I don't see how anyone could thing ToT is anything less than brilliant. It might not be a concept album like SFAM, but so what? The songwriting is masterful as always, and the playing is spectacular. I do concede that Petrucci seems more than content to just shred away on this album, but a guitar or keyboard solo makes up only a small part of an album, even a Dream Theater album. It's about the feel of the song, the hooks and riffs that make up a song...and I think ToT has some of their best riffage to date.

...but nothing will top the riffs in The Glass Prison ;)

[vashts80]

I need to transcribe "In the Name of God" to a 4-string bass and learn it, that song is 'kin amazing. The best song on the album imo, Endless Sacrifice would be second.

[horseypie]

i like scenes much better than ToT

but i only have them two
i want more

I am working on a Guitar Pro file of said song.

I play it on my four string, tuned C-F-Bb-Eb, it's really pretty easy...well, most of it anyway :thumb:

that just about sums up everything i have in mind
nothing wrong with I&W, SFAM etc all great albums
but ToT is a masterpiece as is The Glass Prison

A true DT fan would appreciate all their different types of music

im with The JoZ Crew all the way :thumb:

[vashts80]

IMO, "In the Name of God" on the Budokan DVD is by far the most emotional performance I've seen (other than Maiden's "Blood Brothers" at Rio), even though the song is kinda like that on the album.

JoZ: Do you think .110-.95-.75-.50 would be good for a tuning like that? :x

[juggalotricksta]

You have a following now :lol:

I dont know about you, but I read somewhere that Octavarium is supposed to be heavier than ToT. If thats the case, I'm friggin stoked to hear it. I love all DT, but nothing tops their heavy stuff.

god i hope thats true!

DT music is only surpased by heavy DT music.

Whered you read that anyway?

[Chu]

Never a band to do things by halves, Dream Theater here delivers a two-disc extravaganza with a title track that clocks in at a prog-tastic 42 minutes.
Is this true? :o
That's insane!

Anyway, I've heard many people rave about The Glass Prison, so I'm thinking of getting this album, I checked Amazon, which is where I got this quote.
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00005UEAR/ref=pd_sim_music_3/103-1739267-7659004?v=glance&s=music

My only problem would be, I don't think I could listen to a 14 minute song.
So is this album worth it?

It seems a pretty long album.

[vashts80]

The second disc of Six Degrees is split into 8 songs, even though it's based around one concept. The songs, afaik, are NOT directly related to each other though.

The Glass Prison is godly.

[MAthiAS]

Its worth it for The Glass Prison, Blind Faith, and Misunderstood alone.

[Chu]

So thye second disc is 42 minutes, not the one song?
That's alright I guess.

Thanks guys :)

[vashts80]

I just listened to the Budokan version of ItNoG and then the ToT version. Budokan > ToT. The improv solo at the end after the "Unyielding crusade/Divine revelation/Does following faith/Lead us to violence?" is amazing. I love the tapping part

[comm]

I like Octavarium best.

[Pigs3differentones]

I like Octavarium best.

You don't have it.

[Huber]

You don't have it.

People labeled JLB's solo stuff as Octavarium?

[Pigs3differentones]

Yes.

I heard that they were returning to their more proggy roots (YEH!). Dream Theater aren't a metal band; they're prog-metal (The emphasis is in the prog).

[horseypie]

i just want more dream theater

The 2nd disc of 6DOIT is only one song, split into 8 parts.

[Triangle]

Ah Six Degrees. One of the my fav albums of all time (especially CD2). It's got everything.

[juggalotricksta]

I agree on 6doit being one of their better works. Its definitely one of the most diverse.
My favorite DT cd is always changing though. It mostly depends on which album I have in the player at the time. Right now I cant put down SFaM.


Also NEWS FLASH! I got both Number of the Beast and Master of Puppets (the DT versions) on the way...they should be here by the end of the week.

[Magicaltroll]

I know this is probably asked way too much, but whens the new album coming out?
And does anyone know if its going to be like the previous records? Because I really liked ToT.

[Chu]

June 7th :)

I can't help you out with how it will sound, but I hope it will be heavier and longer then Train of Thought.

[RiceMonster]

I'm not hoping for any specific sound. Just something I'll enjoy. :thumb:

[M7S]

I cant wait

[MAthiAS]

I hope Octavarium is a little less straightforward than Train of Thought. While songs like As I Am and Honor Thy Father are good, IMO they don't compare to anything on 6 Degrees, Awake, or Images.

[Chu]

While songs like As I Am and Honor Thy Father are good
They're the songs I like from Train of Thought :p
But I really like them alot.

Edit: I just read about the 'nugget' from In The Name of God, what's with that? :p

Yeah. that would be cool.

[trev913]

I'd like to hear something similar to Train of Thought. But if it sounded like SFAM, I wouldn't mind that, either.
Look at the track list, though...

1. The Root Of All Evil
2. The Answer Lies Within
3. These Walls
4. I Walk Beside You
5. Panic Attack
6. Never Enough
7. Sacrificed Sons
8. Octavarium

It seems like this one could go either way. But titles like "I Walk Beside You" and "Never Enough" seem like a softer direction for the band. I dunno. Wait till the release date gets closer and we'll see what happens, I guess.

[juggalotricksta]

Well, I have a new question...but I don't have a way to transition smoothly from the current topic. So...


Speaking of Octavarium...how do you guys pronounce "Ytse"?

[The Depressed]

Speaking of Octavarium...how do you guys pronounce "Ytse"?

It-see. Or sometimes Yit-see. I think Portnoy says it's It-see.

[juggalotricksta]

/thought it was yeets

:upset:

[Chu]

Also NEWS FLASH! I got both Number of the Beast and Master of Puppets (the DT versions) on the way...they should be here by the end of the week.

/superstoked :thumb:
Are they studio albums, or Live recordings? I have Master of Puppets Live, and it kicks total ***. So much better then the original.

[vashts80]

They're both live. The NOTB one is from Paris IIRC

[Endless Obsession]

I just saw the Master of Puppets video that DT did. I noticed that Mike Portnoy had 3 bass drums. Why is this?

[Quebec]

I just saw the Master of Puppets video that DT did. I noticed that Mike Portnoy had 3 bass drums. Why is this?
Because there's 2 seats behind his kit, due to the amount of equipment he has, and he had to have 3 bass drum to be able to play double bass on both seats.

[jimiandangus12]

I love the song In the Name of God, it has great lyrics IMO. I also can't wait for Octavarium

[juggalotricksta]

For anyone who is turned off by LaBrie's vocals...

When I first got into DT he did nothing but get in the way for me. I thought his vocals were nothing but unnecessary. I relished any instrumental sections, and cringed at any vocal sections (minus a few tracks ie. The Spirit Carries On, and 6:00).

However, after giving When Dream and Day Unite a thorough listen, and hearing how Dominici sang...I now have a whole new appreciation for LaBrie. It's laughable how bad the vocals were before he came along. Now I actually like his voice, and I would suggest checking out WDADU to anyone that doesnt.

And now, consequently, I am seriously considering picking up The Element of Persuasion. Does anyone have any feedback on that album that may be useful to me before buying it? I like the heavier side of DT, and I've heard that it leans a little towards that sound.

Any thoughts and comments would be much appreciated!

Thanks :thumb:



ps...seriously. Dominici had to have been a joke.

[The JoZ]

^^ This man speaks the truth. Dominici was a horrible vocalist.

I understand LaBrie might not be for everyone, but compared to Dominici, the man is super awesome as opposed to just awesome :cool:

[Chu]

Or if the vocals just drive you away completely, why not get Liquid Tension Experiment :cool:

[Strum]

I bought a DT album about a month ago, I don't really like it. :(


Too much like Metallica. :-/

Was it Train of thought?

[Strum]

Was it Train of thought?

I don't remember, I think it is.

It had like 5 songs on it, if that helps.

[White Goodman]

Well I mean Dream Theater is influenced a lot by Metallica. That may be why they have covered the entire Master of Puppets cd live. I think that says it all right there.

[The JoZ]

I don't remember, I think it is.

It had like 5 songs on it, if that helps.

Did it have two discs?

If so, it was Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence.

If not, did it have covers? If so, it was A Change of Seasons.

If it was neither, it was Train of Thought :cool:

[Strum]

It must have been Train of Thought. :)


But don't get me wrong, it's not a bad album. It just didn't seem to have anything original to offer.

[Chu]

if it sounds like Metallica, it's asif Metallica all got better :confused:
The intro to Honour Thy Father for example, I don't think we could ever see Lars do anything like that.

[Magicaltroll]

Man, in the Glass Prison, the solo around like 2:20 is just plain awesome.

Just thought I would share :D

EDIT- What album is the song Trail Of Tears on? I love this song, but I only have the Live In Budokan version :/

[bball_1523]

the song is on "falling Into Infinity." I need to listen to that album more even though at first, I think it sounds a bit cheaper than the rest of their stuff.

[bball_1523]

I don't know how DT sounds a lot like metallica, but I know they were influenced by them in some ways.

anyways, if you wanna get a good album by DT, get "Images and Words" or "Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence," I think you might like those two.

[Quebec]

I remember hearing JP on the "5 years in a life time" commentary saying that it was really well produced.

[badtaste]

I just saw the Master of Puppets video that DT did. I noticed that Mike Portnoy had 3 bass drums. Why is this?

It's just two drumkits combined together. One is a double bass drum kit. the other is a single bassdrum kit (it has a double chain pedal nonetheless).

[IvortheEngineDriver]

Anyone know what album "Cover My Eyes" is off of? They do a live recording on the "5 years in a lifetime" DVD at that Rotterdam Jam. I really like the song, would like better production. Can anyone help me?

[Triangle]

Yeah, it's got some great tracks on there but the other half is just... meh. Lines In The Sand is one of my fav DT tracks though.

--

Apparently these are the Octavarium track times.

The Root Of All Evil - 8.07
The Answer Lies Within - 5.26
These Walls - 6.59
I Walk Beside You - 4.29
Panic Attack - 7.16
Never Enough - 6.33
Sacrificed Sons - 10.42
Octavarium - 24.00

The title track = wow.

[juggalotricksta]

Where did you get those times from? It looks promising either way...obviously track times alone don't tell you much about songs or albums, but while it was unlikely that they were really going to break away from long, epic songs, it's always reassuring to see that they haven't gone mad and made an album full of 4 minute songs. Anything over 20 minutes is massive, obviously, so it's nice to see that they've got something like that on there as well. It sounds stupid, but it always amazes me that individual members can remember their parts to perfection in songs that long, especially given the complexity of the music that DT play. Anyway, good stuff.


Nicely put. I still cant understand how they can remember all that stuff. It blows me away every time.

[hope_leaves]

If you are able to find a copy of their Fan Club CD from 1998, the same live version of "Cover My Eyes" from the "Livetime" DVD is on there. The studio version is only available on their 1999 Fan Club CD, along with a bunch of other unreleased songs, like "Speak to Me," one of my personal favorites. These are very hard to find, though, but well worth it if you do find them.

[Triangle]

Where did you get those times from?
http://www.bol.de/shop/bde_homestartseite/artikeldetails/ID6387133.html

Found it on the DT forums.

Can't wait, personally.

[Soul Reaper]

Dream Theater are one of my favourite bands at the moment. I knew about John Petrucci before getting Images And Words, I knew how good he was.

I got Images and Words and I can't stop listening to it, it's great. I recently got Awake and that too is a great album.

I also got Live At Budokan DVD, awesome concert. Great musicianship going on there. Anyone else got that DVD?

Anyone know which album to get next?

[jpshortstuff]

Anyone know which album to get next?

go for Scenes From A Memory, A Change Of Seasons or Falling Into Infinity
their newer albums are heavier so go for these if you want the prog rock stuff

[vashts80]

Get Scenes from a Memory, ACOS, or Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence :x

It's really good, I can never sit through the whjole thing though :p
I always watch the first few songs, then after that I skip around on it and stuff.

[vashts80]

Where's the breakdown 1-0-0-0 riff? Is that before the

"Enter the door
Desperate
Fighting no more
Help me restore
To my sanity
At this temple of hope

I need to learn
Teach me how
Sorrow to burn
Help me return
To humanity
I'll be fearless and thorough
The enter this temple of hope"

part? Or where is it? Some kind of time code would be nice :x

[MNbassist78]

The breakdown riff starts around 5:50 :thumb:

[vashts80]

Yup, I thought it was that

[clown_phobia]

please recommend me one song to make up my mind about them

[hope_leaves]

please recommend me one song to make up my mind about them

That's hard to say...they have so many great songs and they're a pretty diverse band. If I had to pick just one, would say that "Pull Me Under" is a good introduction to them, though.

[Quebec]

I would say A Change Of Seasons as an introduction to anyone who is interested in Dream Theater, as it's one of my favourite songs ever recorded. It's got everything that makes the band great...instrumental virtuoso soloing (listen to Petrucci go at times during it), but not to an extent where it could put off prospective new fans of the band; a really epic song structure- it is 23 minutes long after all, and it's also clearly about something. People's exact interpretations can differ, but it's about a definite theme. Put it this way; have you ever heard of a Dream Theater fan that DOESN'T like A Change Of Seasons? Having said that someone'll come in here now and say that they don't, but I can definitely recommend that song as a starting point for the band.
You're right, dude. This song clearly shows the virtuoso elements, the melodic element and the soft & heavy elements that make this band a great one.

im a huge DT fan but for some reason ive never got round to getting ACOS. Everyone says its one of their best works but i probably shied away from it as im not such a huge fan of their earlier prog stuff and noticed the date and the... oh im sorry /breaks down into tears. So can a worthy DT fan tell exactly what ACOS is like and which albums it is most similar to?

This is a question for the people from England/Britian, when was the first time you people heard about Dream Theater?

[Triangle]

Hmm, probably about a year ago on this forum. At first I was like- what's going on?? but it soon grew on me. La Brie look a while to get used to though, I admit.

[vashts80]

The first time for me, even though I live in the US, was on here...I hadn't heard about them at all before, and then I read about them on here but never bothered to check them out. I then saw the Pull Me Under video on Headbanger's Ball a few weeks later and was like "I like this band." I loved Train of Thought, so I got more of their stuff.

LaBrie didn't take long for me to warm up to. I had listened to stuff like Maiden and Iced Earth (Owens, not Barlow) and his voice wasn't all that different in terms of pitch from either of their voices.

[Shattered_Future]

please recommend me one song to make up my mind about them

The Glass Prison.

Long, strong, heavy, melodic, kickass solo...everything.

[knockwurst_myband]

The Glass Prison.

Long, strong, heavy, melodic, kickass solo...everything.
and ytse jam :) (4 solo's in it i think)

[knockwurst_myband]

I can upload the title song for you tomorrow if you want...personally I'd say that's the only thing really worth getting on the album, as the covers are mediocre at best. It's probably most like Scenes From A Memory though (based on what I've heard, anyway).



On this forum. Literally, I had never heard of them before signing up here, and still wouldn't have done, as I've never seen them mentioned on any of the non-Internet things I read/listen to about music. Quite remarkable, given their popularity here, but there we go. I've never really got the fuss about LaBrie's vocals, personally. Sure, he's not the best vocalist of all time, or anything like that, but he's far far better than people credit him for at times. I've read stuff about his singing which makes it sound as if he couldn't hit a note if his life depended on it, and that's utter rubbish.
compared to alot of vocalists today labrie has a great voice, and the other members are great musicians as well. and i heard about them from friends

[Spiritofmosa]

i listened to few tracks like 'lost without you' 'the glass prison' 'metropolis' as a beginner which dt album do you recommend?

[Kurrpt]

and ytse jam :) (4 solo's in it i think)

[hope_leaves]

I personally recommend Images & Words or Awake, my two favorites. I'd say the two not to get, as an introduction, would be Falling Into Infinity or Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence. Both albums are still good (only because I love anything DT does), but they are not representative of DT's overall sound.

This is what I was trying to get at, I had never heard of this band before MF, yet they seem to have a decent American following. Well decent when compared to the English following.

Size for Size ratios and what not too.

As a whole, I like ACOS...but there are certain movements of the song (Carpe Diem comes to mind) that I like less than others.

Innocence is definetly my favorite.

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Apparently my friend got the song 'The answer lies within' from Ares of the new album that hasn't been released yet. I'm wondering if anyone else has heard this, i'm still skeptical to whether it is real or not. Labries vocals are there, fast guitar solo, it actually sounds like Linkin Park but with a solo.

Anyone?

[juggalotricksta]

It might be from Elements Of Persuasion...thats been happening quite a bit.

[HighasAkite]

As of the moment I have downloaded Sacrificed Sons and Octavarium

Both songs are around 5:00mins long and well are heavy but not quite ToT heavy. Its more a mix of old DT with heavy-ness, I don't know its hard to put but i'm uploading the songs on You Send It and should be ready in a few minutes.

[HighasAkite]

Ok heres Sacraficed Sons

http://s10.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=37BVWEVEKGDNK0OK4ZRQQ3R2P6

Octavarium

http://s10.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=37BVWEVEKGDNK0OK4ZRQQ3R2P6

[Firecracker]

i'm obsessed with Regression and Through Her Eyes at the moment. Love them.

[HighasAkite]

Come on someone check it out

[Kurrpt]

im downloading the one, are they both dream theater songs from the new album? cause ill download the other

[The Depressed]

http://www.bol.de/shop/bde_homestartseite/artikeldetails/ID6387133.html

Samples of the new DT album. If what you have isn't those lengths and doesn't sound like that, you haven't downloaded the new album.

[HighasAkite]

I'm sure there from the new album

[HighasAkite]

Heres The Root of all Evil

http://s10.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2ZTU18ZBAZX2F0CO0DPF4TYADM

[juggalotricksta]

Somethings fishy here...I thought Octavarium was supposed to be like 24 minutes long?

[HighasAkite]

Well I don't know..its definitly Dream Theater

[juggalotricksta]

Are you sure its not LaBrie's solo stuff?

[HighasAkite]

No i'm not

But did John Petrucci play on his solo album/

[The Depressed]

I'm sure they're from the new album.

No, it's not DT, it's Elements Of Persuasion by James LaBrie, and Petrucci did NOT play on his album.

Hell, the guitar playing doesn't sound like JP's, there aren't any fancy keyboard sections of JR's, and it's pretty much total 4/4, which isn't DT at all. It's completely obvious it's NOT DT.

[HighasAkite]

Well yep i'm an idiot sorry for the false hopes, or not cause now we can hope that the new album will be better then that

[Kurrpt]

so none of those were DT.....what the hell did i download????

[juggalotricksta]

You downloaded LaBrie's solo material.


Can I ask what would be so horrible about waiting for the actual release date??

[Triangle]

I love the sound of the new songs from the samples. Now I really cannot wait.

[hyper22]

I'm pretty sure the samples on bol.de are the real thing. A staff member of mine posted this on our site last night:

http://www.crimsonsunrise.com/shownews/10

Check it out. You need realplayer to hear them.

http://www.bol.de/shop/bde_homestartseite/artikeldetails/ID6387133.html

Click the buttons which say "horen."

And this a few days before:

http://www.crimsonsunrise.com/shownews/9
Taken from bol.de, one of the biggest online shops in the world.

1. The Root Of All Evil 08:07
2. The Answer Lies Within 05:26
3. These Walls 06:59
4. I Walk Beside You 04:29
5. Panic Attack 06:16
6. Never Enough 06:33
7. Sacrificed Sons 10:42
8. Octavarium 24:00

Evidently, the 25-minute-long title track rumour originating from the Chris Jericho radio interview was accurate.

Also, on a supplementary note, an interview on ytsejam.com has revealed that James Labrie has supplied lyrics to two songs on the album. =P

So there's two news articles involving bol.de. The staff member owns Elements of Pursuasion and says the samples available there are not from LaBrie's album.

[3rdplanet]

"James Labrie has supplied lyrics to two songs on the album"

That's pretty cool.

[The Depressed]

The chorus to These Walls sounds immense. I love the sound of the keyboard. I think it may be the Continuum (sp?) thing that JR is using for the record.

[Cain]

"James Labrie has supplied lyrics to two songs on the album"

That's pretty cool.

He supplied lyrics for two songs on 6DOIT too. For all we know, that's a quota. :lol:

"No, James, how many times do we have to tell you? The point is that we dominate musically over you AND lyrically over you! It just wouldn't be Dream Theater otherwise!"

Blind Faith and Disappear. Great tracks.

OK thread recussitation time...


What album would you guys like to see DT cover next?


Personally I think it would be badass if they did 2112 or Moving Pictures.


edit: changed my mind...Rush's self titled album would be better. :thumb:

Maybe "reign in blood" by slayer ... Would be weird... or "aenema" by tool

[hyper22]

Is it just me or did they take down the samples? Oh well, I have them all saved on my computer anyway.

[horseypie]

'lookin out my back door' by clerence clearwater would be the funniest song for DT to cover......definitely

[Pigs3differentones]

They could probably pull out some great Rush songs. YYZ would sound sick.

[6 String Bassist]

I only question why DT needs to cover any other bands songs. Keep up the mastering of the modes and scales. And write some more of the most advanced music since Rush and Yes. Let that Berkley and Juliard education shine through.

[juggalotricksta]

You have a point...nothing tops DT's original work IMO. Buts its a cool surprise to hear their take on other popular bands' music too. Thats why I don't get people ranking on the second half of A Change Of Seasons...I think its badass to hear DT doing Queen!




just for the record:

DT originals>>>>>>>DT covers

[BradyEB]

Hey guys
Little DT help. In the Instrumedley they play Paradigm Shift then another LTE (i think) song which is amazing. Im wonderring what that next song is called?

Universal mind is what you're looking for.
By the way I got Live at Budokan today. It rips their Metropolis 2000 dvd in my opinion (even though that was still utterly amazing). I eargasmed like 5 times while watching it :D.

[M7S]

hehe nice dude, I only own the metropolis dvd ( from the dvds )

[badtaste]

I think it's neat whenever DT does cover songs. It's just a nice break from playing their usual songs.

I would love to see another ACOS style album (minus the token epic) containing cover songs, and song medleys.

[3rdplanet]

They have done a cover of YYZ.

I think if Portnoy did the Metropolis DVD a little better (left out all those trippy visuals), it'd have been a lot better. I absolutely love that DVD, but the epileptic parts coupled with the amateur effects got old. The Budokan DVD is excellent and professionally done, but I think the set was a little more boring. I'd have to watch it again, though.

[3rdplanet]

The Budokan DVD is really tasteful, I love the shot of the train flying past in the documentary part...I think it's in the documentary part anyway.

[vashts80]

Not in the scene, no, it has not been leaked. Here's an example to see how fast the scene is. When With Teeth was leaked, it was released in the scene an hour after it was leaked.

[demon_LLAMA]

I think DT should cover something challenging for a change, something like SymphonyX.

[hope_leaves]

I've always thought DT should cover Rush's 2112...also maybe a Yes album (not very familiar with Yes, so I can't name one in particular, Fragile's the only one I have)...or an entire Zeppelin album would be cool...any one would sound tremendous. Or Deep Purple.

[vashts80]

I love This Dying Soul now. And Metropolis. :D

[MAthiAS]

I think DT should cover something challenging for a change, something like SymphonyX.
Agreed...

[the2stranger]

I would like to see DT cover Arcturus, although I don't know if James has the range anymore to keep up with Garm

[MAthiAS]

They should cover some Nevermore. I really only say that because I'm listening to them now.

[pwal]

i think DT should cover Close to the Edge from Yes.. which IMO is one of the craziest psychadelic song ever made... or villa strangiato from rush cuz it has some kinda mexican groove to it and earing DT doing something like that would be realy different

[JamieSomething]

as far as songs DT has done
the MOP bootlegs
*just happens to have a mixed version of Sanitarium* you can hear everything, soooo, much, better

and I believe they did Red Barchetta..atleast..it sounds like Labrie, really does

and they should do the entire version of Bohemian Rhapsody, c'mon, you hafta admit, that'd be hella tight

[badtaste]

I hear 'Panic Attack' and 'These Walls' have received radio play already.

Quite interesting. Personally, I'm waiting it out until the album comes out. Listening to a new song would sorta be like watching the trailer to Attack of the Clones too many times: you're only punishing yourself.

[bassist-bmxer]

I would like to see DT cover Yes-Roundabout, that would be really cool.

[The Forgotten Bassist]

I tend to agree. Portnoy is very technically capable, but there seems to be a bit of stagnation setting in as far as the level of creativity he has when constructing his beats on recent releases, particularly Train of Thought. Personally, I think our Sonor posterboy, Danny Carey, beats the crap out of Portnoy any day of the week, but Portnoy is still very good. He may, however, (dare I say it?) be declining. But hey, if Neil Peart can take drum lessons, so can Mikey.

I wouldn't say he is declining but yeah, recently his drum beats have all been suspiciously similar.

[ArcLite]

So I just listened to Johnny P's solo album Suspended Animation yesterday...Amazing album. I think it took hold of my number one instumental album slot. Great playing goes without saying, but there were some incredible melodies in there. Thumbs up to Petrucci.

[The JoZ]

wtf :amaze: :confused:

The main page had Dream Theater on it the other day.

And I've heard samples of Octavarium, but I don't think they work anymore.

I like what I heard, although it appears this album will be less heavy than Train of Thought. Some are comparing it to SFAM in terms of sound, and I guess that would be accurate...although I personally think it sounds like a little SFAM, a little Awake, a little ToT...but we'll see.

It's really hard to tell, I mean, Octavarium is 24 minutes long...a 30 second clip cannot possibly accurately represent the whole song :p

[juggalotricksta]

That would be ok with me...SFAM is number one on my DT chart so a similar sounding album would be great. Although they can really do no wrong IMO.

[Biancazzurri]

what is the octavarium meaning?

[juggalotricksta]

I just ordered Suspended Animation...can anybody tell me what to expect?

/superstoked :thumb:



Ps I was also wondering about Transatlantic...has anyone listened to it that wants to share some opinions? I'm wondering if its worth picking up...

[JamieSomething]

Octavarium..well
pretty much, it's their 'eigth' full lengthed album
pretty much their eigth album
it's following a trend..
Six Degrees was, their sixth album
Train of Thought had, seven songs
Octavarium is their eigth album
with, eight songs

now..I noticed something..
Octavarium, the song, is 24 minutes long

A Change of Seasons is, roughly 24 minutes, it has, seven songs sequing into the next
Octavarium, Octa meaning..eight
..
do I sense a continuation?

[FlyingPaul_83]

twenty four minutes long, holy sh*t, i can't even pay attention to anything for that long.

[pizzapie88]

Sorry for another question about the release of octavarium but... does it come out worldwide on June 7 or just in america?

[JamieSomething]

dunno..probably America, but..'ll go look

[pwal]

hey here is a short clip i took from one of portnoy's video
take a look at it... i think hes better with transatlantic than with DT

**** jordan rudess and his ****ed piano virtuosity
**** james labrie for having a good voice
**** john myung for looking funny and asian
and **** creedence clearwater for getting their songs stuck in my head


thankyou im finished now

[Lord Abortion]

I am getting really excited at the new album- sounds like it will be another stunning effort

[Otherside]

Thanks for the upload. :) Personally I've always though Portnoy is a bit overrated by a lot of people...he's a good drummer, but not one of the best around today, as a lot of people say he is. Especially given the talent which he plays with in Dream Theater, I'd say he's definitely behind Petrucci and Ruddess in terms of actual instrumental talent.

There is a big awe-factor involved with his hype, the drum set he playes on is insanly well set up. All the drummers I know, when I showed them Live at Budokan, their jaws litterally dropped when they saw his huge set. But then again, I'm not in much of a position to say how good he is or is not, seeing as I know next to nothing about drums.

[bassist-bmxer]

I am getting really excited at the new album- sounds like it will be another stunning effort
123..

Does anyone know if the UK tour dates have been confirmed yet?

[Lord Abortion]

portnoy's siamese monster kit is amazing

I read an interview with him in rhythm magazine last year, discussing ToT interesting it was

[Happy]

I think Dream Theater needs that interval. I heard they sometimes play 30 songs.

[Lord Abortion]

yeah... it will be amazing.

I really hope I don't have to go all the way to london to see them though that would be difficult.

Where did they go on the last tour?

[ElectricalStorm]

first two tracks of octavarium found here:

http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=342832

This 100% the real deal. The songs definitely have a heavy sound and I like both quite a bit. :thumb:

[red barchetta]

yeah... it will be amazing.

I really hope I don't have to go all the way to london to see them though that would be difficult.

Where did they go on the last tour?
i think they went to london and manchester. i think...

looks like they're gonna come over to the uk around november.

[Lord Abortion]

ah well- manchester here I come

[pwal]

I think Dream Theater needs that interval. I heard they sometimes play 30 songs.

they usually play like 3h or 3h and a half

such beasts :D

[Biancazzurri]

and between the songs they start to beat the **** out of their instruments with improvisations... cool for sure

[bassist-bmxer]

i think they went to london and manchester. i think...

looks like they're gonna come over to the uk around november.
I hope they play at the Brighton Dome, because then I could get free tickets :D

[vashts80]

The ToT kit is amazing (I think that's the Siamese Monster one, not sure though)

3 kicks, two snares, and a bunch of toms and cymbals. It's amazing. Not to mention the octobans.

[Chu]

I'm really liking the bassist (John Myung?) after hearing The Ytse Jam (?) as well as his obvious contributions to alot of their other songs, so I did some reading up on him, and I read a web site that said something about Myung knocking LaBrie over or something, what happened? Or was it a hoax..
Edit: Here (http://www.neilomac.ndo.co.uk/rudt/myungincident.jpg)'s a picture of the apparant incident...

Edit: I was also looking for other songs which have good bass :)

[funk_metalguitarist]

^^^
I heard someone dared JM to tackle Labrie on stage. That's how it happened :lol:
For Myung's bass work, check out Metropolis pt 1, the dance of eternity, scarred and the spirit carries on.

[horseypie]

lol....mike portnoy looks funny in the background

[jamesclelland]

I can't seem to navigate there site very well (i'm not the sharpest knife around) but anyway are they doing an american tour? i saw a european tour, but there is no way in hell i'm traveling to europe to see them. Maybe to another state or BC but not across the pond.

[the2stranger]

true, and we always thought myung was such a quiet polite guy, he can pul of some unecspected trciks form time to time :p
the best part is, myung kept palying when he tackled James :D

on another note:
does Myung play chapman stick on Budokan?, if yes, on which tracks?

[Trev]

Yeah he does. I'll find the track now, I think its from Six Degrees though.

Edit - New Millenium, I think thats the only one, maybe not though.

[joas]

The intro to Panic Attack is quite cool. Sounds like they're still using C standard on this one (that or a seven..).

[ElectricalStorm]

They're doing Gigantour with Megadeth and a slew of other bands--including Symphony X. Gigantour is a U.S. tour but I don't think many dates/cities have been announced yet.

[trev913]

Yeah. I hope dearly they'll come back to St. Louis. I'd love to see them.

[vashts80]

Does anybody have the lyrics for 'These Walls"?

[Werny]

I am uncontrollably hooked on these guys at the moment, I was correct, they do have to grow on me.

Stream of Consciousness is the greatest song of all time. The most emotional playing ever.

I don't like Scenes From A Memory or the second half of Images & Words, but 6DOIT, A Change of Seasons and Train of Thought are hardcore. I love the keyboards, and (with the exception of the rapping in Honor Thy Father and the ridiculous attempt at sounding death in This Dying Soul) the vocals especially.

[Lord Abortion]

i have now come to the conclusion that scenes from a memory is amazing and has now become my 3rd favourite DT album

beyond this life and through her eyes are incredibly moving

[Chu]

I found the best picture ever!
But I dunno where I got it, I was looking through some of my Hard drive, and found a picture of the cover of Master of Puppets.
It has R.I.P Metallica 1982 - 1991 on the center head stone, oh so funny.
And Dream Theater at the top.
Sorry, random dribble.

[juggalotricksta]

(with the exception of the rapping in Honor Thy Father and the ridiculous attempt at sounding death in This Dying Soul)


what

[nowitzki]

The 2 tracks i've heard for Octavarium are awesome, can't wait for the album to get released.

Does anyone else think Panic Attack sounds a bit Muse-like? Labries singing at times is a lot like Matt Bellamy.


does Myung play chapman stick on Budokan?, if yes, on which tracks?

yes on new millenium, as on the album version

[vashts80]

I thought These Walls sounded more Bellamy-esque than Panic Attack, actually. At least the chorus of These Walls, anyways.

[chorbalan]

There is a metallica album cover (master of puppets) and a Dream Theater one that look a lot alike I'm sure it's old news but anyone know why that is?

[JonG]

Dream Theater did a cover album of Master of Puppets. They played them at random shows on their tour in '93? I can't exactly remember when.

[nowitzki]

It wasn't in '93 it was on the 6DOIT tour, they covered the album in full in Barcelona

[Werny]

what

There's one part that has really low vocals under James saying something. It's near the end, I believe. And while Death may be an overstatement, it still sounds ridiculous.

[Lord of Sword]

It wasn't in '93 it was on the 6DOIT tour, they covered the album in full in Barcelona


i'm sure they covered it early on aswell, i have a video of the solo from damage inc and the very end of the verse before it ("you'll know just where we come from"). petrucci is using his picasso style ibanez and they all look the same as they did in the I&W era. i'm not sure if they covered the entire album but they did at least do this one song.

[Kurrpt]

anyone know if the new album leaked?

[nowitzki]

Well barcalona was the first time they covered the whole album, they had covered Damage Inc earlier on though. They cover it on the 5YIALT DVD with Barney from Napalm Death on vocals.

anyone know if the new album leaked?

i hope not

[Lord Abortion]

LaBrie sounds like freddie mercury on earlier stuff

I hate muse...

[bball_1523]

when is dt releasing a dvd of their mop performance? Or does anyone have bootlegs?

[juggalotricksta]

There's one part that has really low vocals under James saying something. It's near the end, I believe. And while Death may be an overstatement, it still sounds ridiculous.


Death would be a very ridiculous overstatment.

DT >>> anything death

[kevbud187]

I'd have to say my favorite song by them is "Just A Matter of Time"

[Bertovo]

anyone know if the new album leaked?

Radio edits for panick attack and these walls have been leaked.

[Hammerheart]

The new DT album has been leaked, all of it.

[Werny]

No, the James LaBrie solo album has been put on the net and named as the new album.

If it has leaked, no one here would want to know about it.

[juggalotricksta]

I'll ask one more time.


Would it be so horrible to wait for the actual release date to hear the album? Am I going to be the only person at the cd store on the 7th? Come on people.

[red barchetta]

I'll ask one more time.

i'll be there too. i'm really not that desperate.

I have it and it's amazing. Get it, now!

Dream_Theater-Octavarium-2005-AMRC_INT pred 11 Hours, 46 Min, 21 Sec ago

pretty convincing to me.

[The Depressed]

It's definitely leaked. Am listening now...

First 5 tracks = brilliant. Surprisingly, not much of the massive over-indulgent stuff that DT have been accused of for the last few albums. I love These Walls and I Walk Beside You...

and then it hits Never Enough.

I can now say there is a DT song I flat out despise. It's Muse in a faster more technical form. And I can't stand Muse at all. It's nearly ruined the album for me.

Luckily, Sacrificed Sons sounds effin great as I'm listening to it, more than making up for the atrocity that is before.

Am looking forward for Octavarium (the song.) Should be pretty cool from all the clips I've currently heard.

EDIT -

Would it be so horrible to wait for the actual release date to hear the album? Am I going to be the only person at the cd store on the 7th? Come on people.

Ha, I pre-ordered mine as soon as I possibly could. I'm just a fan looking forward to hearing the music. They've already got my money.

EDIT 2 -

Octavarium - wow. That is all.

[Chu]

Any idea when JP's CD comes out?
I'll ask this aswell :p

[trev913]

Ah...Chu, no one's gonna help us... So... I did some quick research...

John Petrucci solo CD "Suspended Animation" out now
Updated on 03-06-2005

John Petrucci's solo album "Suspended Animation" is now available exclusively from John's "Sound Mind Music store". Here are the tracklisting and artwork for "Suspended Animation": John Petrucci - Suspended Animation

1. Jaws of Life
2. Glasgow Kiss
3. Tunnel Vision
4. Wishful Thinking
5. Damage Control
6. Curve
7. Lost Without You
8. Animate-Inanimate

[Magicaltroll]

wtf? I'm listening to the first track of the new cd (not sure if its fake... I hope its not) and it had the chorus of This Dying Soul in it...

That was kinda cool, but weird. It wasn't exactly the same, it was like... remixed.

[JamieSomething]

that's because it's a continuation of This Dying Soul, as it is from The Glass Prison, containing parts from The Mirror too

because, Portnoy wrote those songs, about the A.A. 12 Step program, so, there you go, Glass Prison has steps 1-3, and This Dying Soul has steps 4-6. The song you're speaking of..probably is 7-9

[Magicaltroll]

Haha, yeah.
That works for alot of bands... Never really noticed.

Dream_Theater-Octavarium-2005-AMRC_INT pred 11 Hours, 46 Min, 21 Sec ago

OK from the post below yours I now know that this is a leak, but it is possible to rename a song or album.

Its astounding how people will steal from one of their favourite bands just to hear an album 10 DAYS before it's release. Grow up.

[clearvision]

Quit whining, i'd still steal if it were out already...no source of income = no CD's for me...should i be deprived of music because of that?

[Chu]

if you get it before though, better give me a quick review :p

[Kurrpt]

dude i have it (got it another thread)


Theres 3 tracks right now that im all about. If you like petrucci, you'll like it. Its TOTAL guitar driven

[Lord Abortion]

2. Glasgow Kiss
heh...

sounds like a cool song to me...

[Kurrpt]

dude its the best

[Chu]

With 6 Degrees of Inner Turbulence, does anyone here know what the 6 degrees are? Like, I relate to one of the songs quite closesly and just wondering what the song is dealing with.

Edit: I'll have to get this Petrucci album I think.

[clearvision]

Well these walls is now my favourite DT song.

[MAthiAS]

The songs are unrelated, and 6 Degrees the song is one song.

[JamieSomething]

the first disk of 6 Degree's..eh..it's alright, it has some decent parts..like Glass Prison, it's alright
disk two, the entire 6 Degree's thing..all, eight songs..yeah, it is one song in a sense, but each mini song is one seperate track, what I think the best songs off disk two are..War Inside My Head, The Test That Stumped Them All, and About To Crash(Reprise)

I ordered this cd off the Sound Mind Music Store on 03/18. Its now 03/27 and it still says my order is "pending." I was curious as to how long it took all of you to get your copy...when I ordered the DT bootlegs, I had already received them by this time. And this album means so much more to me, so its twice as hard to wait! Please let me know if it took this long too, so I know whether or not its normal. Thanks guys! :thumb:

Thanks man, you gonna pick it up soon?
I'll see if I can grab it tomorrow, if so I'll tell you what I think about it :)
if you get it before though, better give me a quick review :p

I don't think it'll be pick-uppable. The website said it was exclusively available through the Sound Mind Music Store. Maybe my local shop will be able to get it in for me.

OK from the post below yours I now know that this is a leak, but it is possible to rename a song or album.

I'm listening to the AMRC_INT rip now. It's authentic.

With 6 Degrees of Inner Turbulence, does anyone here know what the 6 degrees are? Like, I relate to one of the songs quite closesly and just wondering what the song is dealing with.

Well, the song 6 Degrees is about 6 different people with different mental problems. For example, I believe the first suffers from depression, the second was in a war and went psycho, the third had delusions, and so forth. The 4th person, the one in Goodnight Kiss was about a mother and a daughter who were split up, the fifth person is kinda explained in the name, and the last one, it seems like she just randomly dosed off to avoid people.

"Octavarium" (the track) is an epic. The only songs I've listened to are These Walls, Panic Attack, and Octavarium. Time to listen to the whole thing.

This is a grammatical nightmare.

I think the mental disorder in The Test That Stumped Them All is not in relation to the boy but in relation to the doctors or whatever treating him as in the song they are made to sound stupid etc. and it sounds like there's nothing wrong with the boy.

and on the topic of the new album I myself respect DT enough to wait for the official release of the new CD rather than downloading a 'leaked' version even though it's probably just something named wrong on p2p stuff. One of the 'leaked' versions was just James Labrie's new CD Elements of Persuasion renamed to "OMG DT!!!!1111one one"

[vashts80]

I'm listening to the leak now. I don't think any of LaBrie's solo stuff has a 24 minute song that contains the lyric "Trapped inside this, OCTAVARIUM!". It's real.

[RiceMonster]

Where did you find the leak? Can you get it on p2ps?

[3rdplanet]

Bittorrent is where I got my leak.

[Joelbassman]

Hey I was just wondering if you could let me know of some DT songs with singing in it because of a lot of the ones I have are just instrumentals.

I already have Pull me under and Take Away my Pain.

Cheers

Yes I know it's authentic, that's why I said I know it's a leak.

I'm completely unknowledged on DT: Do they make filmclips?
