Thats actually a pretty good list, In The Name of God and Beyond This Life are to of my favorite newer DT songs.

Lord Abortion 11-04-2005 07:11 PM

James' vocals in BTL are fantastic.
He is the best part of SFAM in alot of places.

Thank you.

I thought some people wouldn't like it because it has a few songs off of 'Octavarium' on there. Not too many hardcore DT fans liked that album. I think it's great. :thumb:

Overall, I think LaBrie is equally as great as the rest of the band. Sure he doesn't have their crazy instrumental talent, but he's voice is [I]amazing.[/I]

James is a great singer. I don't get why people rip on him. Y'know? They say stuff like "Dream Theater is awesome, but James totally brings the band down for me." What the hell?

Octavarium was good, but the title track overshadows the rest of the album completely.

DT Top 10:

1) Take The Time

7) Lifting Shadows Off A Dream
8) Endless Sacrifice

Lord of Sword 11-04-2005 09:41 PM

I think the problem people have with James is just his voice, not him as a singer. I can sort of see why some people don't like his voice/accent, but he is a good singer nevertheless.

1) Pull Me Under
2) The Mirror
3) Space Dye Vest
4) Disappear
5) a Change of Seasons
6) Learning to Live
7) Blind Faith
8) Under a Glass Moon
9) Home
10) Metropolis Pt i

stoned_rat 11-05-2005 06:43 AM

too hard to make a top 10, also i only have: images and words, scenes from a memory and train of thought.
however, it is very interesting to note how very different everyone's lists are, yet they all seem to contain some images and words material, often near the top of the list, it truly is an orgasmic album, absolutely perfect in every way as far as im concerned.
the only other album that believe to have such perfection(song order, song structure, contrasts; ie. ups and downs, and melody) is Blood Sugar Sex Magik by RHCP.

I haven't listened to RHCP in ages, but they used to be one of my favourite bands, and BSSM is an amazing album.
But for me personally the only album I can say comes close to I&W is.... Scenes From A Memory. I would have to say overall they are my 2 favourite albums, they just display a range of emotions and moods like no others, and the songs are just flawless.

Biancazzurri 11-05-2005 08:57 AM

what do you say about song Peruvian Sky? I think its amasing and would include it in top ten but i am sure fo 100% that there are 10 songs that are better than this.

Peruvian Skies is an class DT song, maybe in my top 20 though, I think it's the best song on FII and they did it awsome live.

[QUOTE=Obi One Kenodi]Thats actually a pretty good list, In The Name of God and Beyond This Life are to of my favorite newer DT songs.[/QUOTE]


I was shocked when i read somewhere that In The Name of God was the worst song on ToT. IMO, its the best song on the album along with stream of consciousness.

Metal_head45 11-05-2005 06:41 PM

Is it just me, or is Myung very underated, atleast in this thread (mind you, i couldnt be stuffed reading all 149 pages so i just skipped to the last after reading the first few so i may have missed something about this). In pizzapie88's avatar you can see him at work. He is an amazing bass player. He was voted the best metal bass player on these forums. Please tell me i'm not the only one with this opinion.

As I Am and Honor Thy Father are my least favourite tracks on TOT. Even thought they are both amazing anyway. The bass intro for As I Am is classic stuff.:cool:

Myung is a class bass player. I don't know why people don't appreciate him like some do with Wooten etc.

What makes you think he's under rated? He was voted the number one bassist in a top 100 poll this forum did a few months ago. And people in this thread seem to regard him as one of the most important factors in DT and an excellent songwriter.

I actually can't remember where i read it. It also could have been one of my friends that said it. I'm not to sure, but i do remember it being said in some form. As for Myung, early on in this thread, everyone was talking about petrucci and portnoy and i was thinking, what about myung. Its good to hear that people do regard him as important in DT like i do! :thumb:

Right, I can't blame you for not reading all 149 pages, but yeah, JM is much appreciated (my favourite bassist).

They ruined Lie and Pull Me Under by shortening the songs. They arent even that long compared to their other songs. Did they shorten they other songs. I didnt get to watch them yet.

Lol thanks! Yeah I'm with you on that one. I love his sig Yamaha six string. I saw a similar five string (body, neck etc) that tickled my fancy. I love to be able to afford his actual sig bass, but unfortunatly im 16 and only work casually at a super market lol. His bass would be like a years wage for me :lol:
