cause its in the middle of their prime, albeit during some intense label pressure

I think the debut has better songwriting and generally more interesting solos, just an inferior singer.

pfft

I will admit "Hell's Kitchen" is one of my favorite Petrucci performances ever though.

no the debut is really lol

i do have a soft spot for Status Seeker and Only A Matter of Time tho

Album Rating: 3.5

I prefer "Ytse Jam" and "The Killing Hand." If they had a significantly better singer for that one it would be in my top 7 DT releases.

ytse jam really? its really nothing special, it just keeps repeating the same hash

But there is plenty of variation built upon it, and it's one of the few times all four instrumentalists get to shine.

Dream Theater is known for showing off all four of those guys in just about every song

Album Rating: 3.5

Not even half their songs have drum and bass solos to that magnitude though.

Yeah this is probably better than anything post-Scenes. Its still not that great though.

Album Rating: 3.5

Yeah, easily.

And there are songs from this that I fucking love.

After this it seems like they started wanking needlessly, and definitely even more after 6Deg
