Digging lots of Between The Buried and me recently, but I actually cringe when I hear a section that sound DT-esque

Nah, I was just passing 'round. I mean, not for nothing but I'd easily take Opeth and Agalloch over these guys.

You cant compare Agalloch to DT lol. They're not even prog metal

Fair trade Nero. I notice you have this 4'd, rather than 4.5'd.

Understandable Nero. But yeah, I don't get that much urge to jam these guys personally.

They're one of those "sometimes bands" for me.

Same, DT was one of those bands I grew up with but at almost 20 yrs old now I feel like I've kind of outgrown them. They just sound so cheesy to me now, not that I've really listened in almost a year

They're probably my least fave of the big 3 these days. This, Awake and Scenes are all I come back to.

Couldn't agree more with Talons. I got into them when I was 10 and 7 years later all the cheesiness is so prominent that I cringe listening to it. Just outgrowing them I think. However I did jam to all of I&W one night when I was in the mood and when it got to Learning to Live, it was the best shit I've felt in ages.



Kiddie prog methinks

Went through basically the same thing, but after a period of not caring for them at all anymore, somehow I grew to appreciate DT once again.

Deep down the kid in me will always love everything pre SC dearly.



Metropolis part 2 was just one of those albums that changed so much when you were a kid and developing a taste

So true, those solos in Fatal Tragedy and Home blew my young mind away when I first heard them

The emotion on the reprise of One Last Time on Finally free blew my mind. So much emotion in that solo

"Home" is a better epic than "Finally Free." The exotic instrumentation is more emotional than finally free and it is one of the

greatest prog songs all in 4/4.

I disagree completely. Whilst Home does have some great emotional moments channelled through laBrie, Finally free has much more. Pain, frustration and relief. It has that really haunting part at the start and then the incredible section where victoria dies followed by that epic solo.



Home is great but come on. Finally Free

I've always been a fan of FII, and the demo version is twice as good.

New Milineum and Trial of Tears are amazing tracks, and Hell's Kitchen/Lines in the Sand are amongst my top ten DT songs. That album gets way too much hate.
