Probably their least tedious

Yea, this one sucks the least m/

Is "sucks the least" just a roundabout way of saying "best?" Because this might be that.

when label interference helps

It is. I mean, technically it's the same thing. Right?

Album Rating: 4.5

but they have 3 or 4 albums that don't suck at all

Album Rating: 5.0

Comes off differently, I suppose. It would be literally the same for me to say that this is the DT album that I hate the least/love the most, but the take away from each statement would be different.



I feel like I'm overthinking this

Man, I'm joking D: Wasn't obvious enough I guess. my bad

But it DOES suck the least. Checkmate, duh!

This is the best DT album. I mean, in Awake you can clearly hear a band. Kevin Moore is adding different layers, Labrie is warm but when he gets angry, he nails it (Mirror - Lie), Petrucci offers some killer riffs and solos and even the Pantera vibes do fit, Myung has some of his most inspired bass lines ever (Scarred - Lifting...) and Portnoy doesn't sing too much which is definitely good lol. The production feels dark and isolated, full of character, not that bland thing you hear in the last 7-8 albums. Plus all members write music + lyrics and Eve is the best bonus track they ever had. Absolutely phenomenal album.

Time for me to check their b sides I guess

@wild: haha I get what you mean by the phrasing. Least disliked vs most liked definitely ha a different connotation.



@Elio: Agreed with everything ElioG. Images used to be my favourite, but the moodiness and focus of this serves it better. Nothing really feels forced, it all feels organic, and Kevin's influence is huge. Eve might be their best b side track agreed, a beauty



@Kalk: Here's Eve https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiayUWUhZSQ

Yeah, I love Images and Words as well but Awake just kills me lol. I forgot the samples! What a great work! I know all about the honor of god Mary I know all about the honor of god Mary I know all about the honor of god Mary I know all about the honor of god, Mary Jane!

You can find a great video with the movie samples of Awake and Change of Seasons on Youtube.

Eve is incredible, agreed

Album Rating: 5.0

@kalkwiese I know dude dw. Was just thinking out loud, over an internet forum. That makes sense, right?



@ElioG best DT sample is the Russian guy. Most underrated prog vocalist of the 90s



Need to check Eve, never heard it

Album Rating: 5.0

Eve is absolutely beautiful. Need this in my collection tbh. Awake is a long ass album, but Eve has to fit somewhere...

Album Rating: 5.0

Yeah, Eve has this Kevin Moore magic that is irresistible. Btw, you have to check (if you haven't already) the first Chroma Key (Kevin Moore's project after leaving DT) album, Dead Air For Radios. It's full of songs in the vain of Space Dye Vest with minimal electronic elements, really good.

Album Rating: 4.5

Eve'll make you cry

Second that Chroma key rec, though I prefer the second album
