I don't think he does, he just hates the newer stuff

6DOIT>All.

Awake comes in second, because compositionally it's probably the most conservative, instrumental-wise, and also tightest. But 6DOIT is just damn impressive in every possible way.

I never listen to Dream Theater anymore, though, because I think LaBrie is a terrible singer.

This is my basic position as well.

[QUOTE=Cain]This is my basic position as well.[/QUOTE]

Yet you rate 6DOIT as their best album :rolleyes:

what album is WDADU?

[QUOTE=nowitzki]Yet you rate 6DOIT as their best album :rolleyes:[/QUOTE]

I rate Train of Thought and Octavarium as among their worst. So that little smiley was a little unneccesary, wouldn't you say?

heavy metal kid: When Dreams and Day Unite = WDADU

[QUOTE=nowitzki]Yet you rate 6DOIT as their best album :rolleyes:[/QUOTE]
i think its their best too:

6DOIT
I&W
Awake
SFAM
WDADU
ToT
FII / Octavarium

is my list. i dont consider ACoS as an album

When Dream and Day Unite, its back when they had a different vocalist before Labrie...not a very good album but its got its moments

[QUOTE=heavy metal kid]Too bad, the main song kick as[I]s[/I][/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=red barchetta]i think its their best too:

6DOIT
I&W
Awake
SFAM
WDADU
ToT
FII / Octavarium

wah? TOT is awsome, not their usual stuff but its a lot better WDADU IMO, ah well, each is own

[QUOTE=scenesfromatheater]When Dream and Day Unite, its back when they had a different vocalist before Labrie...not a very good album but its got its moments[/QUOTE]

I think it's a good album, ruined by poor production and a annoying vocalist.

Fine then, maybe a :confused: would have been more appropriate.

[QUOTE=scenesfromatheater]wah? TOT is awsome, not their usual stuff but its a lot better WDADU IMO, ah well, each is own[/QUOTE]
yep, its all opinion :thumb:

ToT's only decent songs are Vacant, and This Dying Soul. Honor thy Father is all right also. The record is remarkably soulless, lacking in harmonic sophistication or tone, and certainly cannot be remotely defined as a progressive album, however.

This Dying Soul is, even then, a little iffy, being a sequel to "The Glass Prison," which was already the best heavy song they ever did. Stealing riffs, lyrics, and subject matter from it doesn't make "This Dying Soul" great though.

I personally prefer TDS to TGP (but both are awesome, and much better than The Root of All Evil).
I think ToT is excellent, and it's the album that first got me into DT.
In The Name Of God is one of DT's most under rated songs. The live version at the Budokan is superb.

What's so great about "In the Name of God?" I thought it had one of the most terrible vocal melodies in DT history.

I am open to other perspectives, however, that's just my opinion.

I agree, its such an awsome album. ITNOG is one of my favourite DT songs and it is one of the best performances by DT on Budokan I've seen. The keyboard and guitar solo in ITNOG are just intense.

I really like ToT, and don't care if it's not "progressive". The songs are brilliant.

This dying soul, in the name of god, as I am and endless sacrifice are the best on that IMO, it's my second favourite DT album...

Agreed.....by me that is...

I'll only list the DT albums I have.

I&W = SFaM > 6DoIT > ToT > Ovtavarium

And I really freaking <3 Octavarium too :thumb:

I'm sure it's nicer than the bowels of hell.[/QUOTE]
This much is true. I would much rather be there than Florida.

[QUOTE=MAthiAS]Get Awake man.[/QUOTE]

Don't, it's a trick

I love 8V and believe that 6D is their best piece of work.

Anyways, who wants Raise The Knife (Live & Studio versions)? It's a track that didn't make it onto Falling Into Infinity. Post your emails and I'll get it right to you. :)

Can't be that good if it didnt even make it onto FII, ahhh well....ledzeppelin_blackdog@hotmail.com

Ohh, burn...

olliethegreat_6 @hotmail.co.uk then, please

Ha, yeah that's what I was thinking but it's not that bad. Have you heard the extended versions of some of the bad tracks from FII? They're actually pretty good.
