05.16.10 | Pretty accurate. And funny. |

05.16.10 | Alright, well since I think I've finally heard each album enough, here's how I rank them, not including ACOS cause it's an EP:
Images and Words
Scenes From A Memory
Awake
Black Clouds and Silver Linings
Train of Thought
Octavarium
Six Degrees
Systematic Chaos
Falling Into Infinity
When Dream and Day Unite |
Parallels
05.16.10 | systematic chaos is the worst.
also this is a joke ranking, i dont really think scenes should be at the top and awake is much too low |
Sound
05.16.10 | scenes is overrated
|
tiesthatbind
05.16.10 | Yeah I got that lol.
I can't say SC is the worst, I enjoy it much more than FII and WDADU. |
Parallels
05.16.10 | weird. i just cant enjoy systematic chaos as much, it seems like a pathetic attempt to sway the hot topic kids and vampire lovers into their fanbase. |
Sound
05.16.10 | oh and the obligatory ranking:
I&W
Awake
Metropolis Pt. 2
SDoIT
ACoS
ToT
BC&SL
FiI
Octavarium
WDaDU
Systematic

05.16.10 | Idk, I know SC is a big wank album, but it's still enjoyable, I think it just looks worse when compared to their better stuff, when taken by itself it's not that bad. |
Sound
05.16.10 | Yes, SC is a BIG wank album and that's why FiI wins lol
end of discussion lolol
|
Ire
05.16.10 | systematic is kinda decent
|
tiesthatbind
05.16.10 | Eh, the way I see it, wank beats boredom. FII and WDADU might be more tasteful but they bore the heck out of me aside from the few standouts on FII that I mentioned in my review. |
Sound
05.16.10 | WDaDU = raw and inconsistent
FiI = commercial yet tasteful
Octavarium = commercial and boring, uninspired and depressing
SC = commercial, big wank, cringe-worthy and boring
|
Parallels
05.16.10 | WDaDU = hit and miss
FiI = what sound said above
Octavarium = one dimensional and uninspired
SC = panders to hot topic generation, features lame lyrics and annoying choruses |
tiesthatbind
05.16.10 | Didn't you give Octavarium a 4.5, Sonic?
Ah well, I know plenty of folks hate SC. I'm probably in another minority in itself when I say Constant Motion is the best song on it too ;) |
Parallels
05.16.10 | got me. lol remember my critisms are only because i try to be fair and not be biased. if it wasnt one dimensional and uninspired it wuoud be a 5 for sure. |

05.16.10 | Sorry, I have to do this:
TRAVELING THROUGH BOTH SPACE AND TIME
OUT OF BODY, OUT OF MIND
OUT OF CONTROL MY WHEELS IN CONSTANT MOTION |
Sound
05.16.10 | "it seems like a pathetic attempt to sway the hot topic kids and vampire lovers into their fanbase."
"panders to hot topic generation, features lame lyrics and annoying choruses"
Aside from the cringe-worthiness and boredom, my thoughts exactly. "vampire lovers" haha that's just great.

05.16.10 | constant motion probably is the best song off it. i love playing the breakdown part on the drums. |
tiesthatbind
05.16.10 | Yeah lyrics suck, idk about it being a sellout album though, it's just really disconnected as an album. Still a solid 3 for me because I find it enjoyable despite its flaws. |

05.16.10 | i was gonna use those lines for a review of systematic chaos, but two things:
ties is gonna make one eventually
there are way too fucking many of them already |

05.16.10 | constant motion is catchy as shit. |
Parallels
05.16.10 | except shit isnt catchy. |

05.16.10 | Nerdy confession, the fact that I have Constant Motion as Rock Band DLC is another reason why I love it. That solo is intense. |
