No fucking way "Another Day" is a week point!

Album Rating: 5.0

Probably my statement was a bit misleading so don't get me wrong, I really like Another Day, it's an awesome ballad. It's just that I always had some problems with the saxophone part. It just seems out of place to me somehow.

Album Rating: 4.0

Saxophone part makes it

Album Rating: 5.0

Could live without it I guess...

Album Rating: 5.0

See, I agree with Green Baron. I personally think the sax makes the song. But, we all have are own views on things

Album Rating: 4.5

So I let my brother (who usually listens to mainstream hiphop and R&B) listen to Metropolis Part I: "The Miracle And The Sleeper" and he said the Petrucci solo part sounded cheap and it was one of the worst parts of the song. Shouls I finish him or what?

Album Rating: 3.0

it really is overly wanky tho

Album Rating: 4.5

Or you can just ignore him and not bother.

"hey here's some music that you don't like, do you like it?"

Album Rating: 5.0

Haha. Well, I think he tried to approach him like this ''You don't know about music, because you don't search for music, just what is on the radio. Here, give this a try, see what's great with this one?''

Album Rating: 4.5

But I mean, not liking it is one thing. I can live with that. But calling it cheap is another thing.

Especially if he listens to the cheapest music I know, where artists just use the same tune over and

over again but slightly alter it.

Album Rating: 4.0

You can't blame a man for trying

Now, you have to differentiate music by the emotions it wants to convey. Rap and Hip Hop are not about music, art is used as a mean for protest. One of my favourite groups is from the hip hop scene. The music wasn't always their good part, but lyrics? Oh boy!



Of course I don't know the kind of hip hop your brother likes, maybe it's some shit-pop-hollywood piece of crap. In this case he needs help, not in order to appreciate DT, but in order to appreciate the beutiful and qualitative in life. If he listens to hip hop artists who speak their minds and express ideas on ethos, politicals, modern society and philosophy, then he's alright.

Compared to Petrucci's solo in Metropolis Part 1 which isn't emotionally evocative, nor is it meant to be. It's meant to be really fun wank and it succeeds in that manner. Living to Learn is the instrumentally emotional song on here, sonically it's an ode to life at times.
