Album Rating: 3.0

in the name of god and stream of conciousness are both incredible

Album Rating: 3.5

"In the Name of God, that is all"



ehhhh, Octavarium the song

Album Rating: 4.0

Yeah Octavarium is the only song on that record that's awesome. In the Name of God's sweet, too.



The only song that keeps Systematic Chaos at a 2.5 for me is In the Presence of Enemies pt 1. It's wanky as fuck but I still enjoy it. Same can't be said for the rest of that record, though.

Album Rating: 3.5

Systematic Chaos is really inconsistent. ITPOE and Ministry of Lost Souls are awesome but Constant Motion and especially Forsaken are awful songs

Album Rating: 4.0

It's dreadful.

SC didn't bore me as much as BCSL did.

Album Rating: 3.5

BCSL > SC



even though neither is anything brilliant overall

SC is more interesting than the last album

Album Rating: 4.0

forsaken is a classic compared to I WALK BESIDE YOU

Album Rating: 4.0

But I walk beside you's meaning is much more deep

Album Rating: 3.0

i never got the love for BCSL. portnoy's AA saga or whatever turned into literally just taking parts from other songs



album was kinda boring and MP's tough guy growls....dear god

Album Rating: 3.5

@KILL nah it's not, I Walk Beside You may be a cheesy U2 ripoff song but it sounds pretty enjoyable

somehow

Album Rating: 4.0

^^^^



Forsaken is so mediocre and generic

Album Rating: 4.0

sorry i dont like u2 and i dont like shitty cheap imitations with labrie prancing around like a faggot with the worst lyrics ever made by anyone ever

Album Rating: 3.5

"i never got the love for BCSL. portnoy's AA saga or whatever turned into literally just taking parts from other songs"



Shattered Fortress was the first song i heard from the AA and i loved it at first but after hearing the others i was like "what is this shit Portnoy copying his own songs". but the latter half of TCoT is amazing, i really like A Rite of Passage and The Best of Times too

2000's DT is really hit or miss, am I the only one who thinks Awake is their best

kill the lyrics on his solo albums are way worse than any dt albums is seriously sickening

Album Rating: 4.0

Half of a rite of passage is the main melody played over and over, and the other half is metallica rip off. TCoT would be more interesting if they didn't rip off Metallica (they seriously need to move on to a different band if they're going to copy some band). TBoT is good but the album overall got old fast

Album Rating: 3.5

TCoT's first half is shit agreed
