Understatement ++

I'm new here.. holy crap this thread is huge, anyway i just started listening to DT and i'm loving it. It's so different than all the other stuff out there it really is unique.
Are there any other bands out there in the same genre that come close to sounding like these guys?

[QUOTE=scenesfromatheater]yeh i was dissappointed with Octavarium when I bought it. Apart from Octavarium itself i think the album is pretty lame, I really don't like the blatent Muse influenced songs cause they don't bring out the bands talents. I&W, SFAM and TOT are definatly my favourite three albums with Octavarium somewhere at the bottom.[/QUOTE]
I pretty much just like the first and last songs on Octavarium. Other than that, the album is useless.

You could just look for bands who play Progressive Metal, like Symphony X for example (I've never heard Symphony X so I don't know if they sound anything alike), I believe the band Circus Maximus sound very similar to Dream Theater (Although, the singer is very different to LaBrie)...

Thanks i'll keep them in mind...
I'm listening to Overture 1928... it is absolutley amazing! what other good instrumental songs do DT have?

Thats cool. How much were the tickets?

I'm not too sure, he's returning the favour because I bought tickets to the last gig we went to. I think they were around £25

I want to go to a dream theater show. I missed them on Gigantour and I was really pissed. Considering theat Dream Theater, Nevermore, Symphony X and Megadeth are some of my favorite bands.

Meh, I really can't get into Awake much...

Apart from Space dye vest, which is probably one of my favourite DT songs...

Mmm... surrounded live... :inahappyplace:

I don't know yet. I'll say when I do.

Holy crap, Stream of Consciousness is really good... but really nothing is similar to Overture 1928, i can't get enough of it!!!

I'm seeing DT in 8days can't wait :)

Thats another good intrumental.

[QUOTE=Dragon_Prince]I'm seeing DT in 8days can't wait :)[/QUOTE]

Even though i just kinda started listening to these guys, i can tell you are one lucky bastard :angry:

I have to wait until they next tour here... Why the hell are they going to WOLVERHAMPTON!!??

[QUOTE=Lord Abortion]I have to wait until they next tour here... Why the hell are they going to WOLVERHAMPTON!!??[/QUOTE]
Because they have poor knowledge of English cities.

[QUOTE=badtaste]Im just wondering, does everyone here agree that Octavarium is 'not as good' as their older albums?
Everytime I see someone complimenting Octavarium, I always wonder if they have listened to Images and Words.[/QUOTE]


octavarium is one of my favorite songs by them,along with panic attack and the root of all evil, and i've heard images and words

[QUOTE=Enlighten Me]Even though i just kinda started listening to these guys, i can tell you are one lucky bastard :angry:[/QUOTE]


well i met them

how lucky am i

and it was free

They must have a poor knowlege...

I want them to come to Newcastle!

but that's as likely as them releasing a grindcore album...

...or as likely as Myung becoming a goth and joining a satanic black metal band as the vocalist?!?

yay, i cant wait for the gig at wolverhampton, 24 days to go (i think)
