"Can't believe it's 17 years old now"



Rumors abound that a follow-up may be in development

Lie has such fantastic grooves. Tastefully done breakdown in the bridge too.

The Mirror/Lie is like the pinnacle culmination of the band imo. They keep each other in perfect balance without any member taking over the overall composition of the work, keeping their stylistic depressive-cathartic themes in full display through the build-up, then transitioning beautifully into the "fuck all" mood of Lie, and god those snarky-artsy Kevin Moore lyrics which are just too good.



Also purple drumsticks, lol.

Damn I forgot about The Mirror. Agreed, love that heavy orchestral sound.

Images & Words and Awake era DT is a hundred times better than Scenes from a Memory era.

I disagree. Scenes from A Memory is also an amazing work, my favourite with Awake.

I also am for the Moore-era superiority crowd



Although Six Degrees/ToT have some truly impressive moments imo

I like most of their discography, but I agree nothing has topped the Moore era

that Moore/Portnoy/Petrucci songwriting team just had a special kind of magic that the other lineups couldn't replicate

Kevin Moore is fucking sorely missed man, such a key cog to the greatness of that era
