[QUOTE=Rattlehead]omg who the hell recomended that i got images and words?!?! it is one big rolling ball of cheese. urgh!

ToT FTW.[/QUOTE]


The person who recommended it to you should have said it was very different from the 3 albums you have. Its a great albums and will grow on you in time.

Awake and Metropolis: Scenes from a Memory have a more metal/hard rock sound than Images.

[QUOTE=ghettoeddo]peruvian skies is most definitely one of their best.
from FII:
peruvian skies
trial of tears (the opening is absolutely brilliant)
burning my soul
new millennium
anna lee/hell's kitchen

lines in the sand is the only DT song so far i cannot stand.


they rush their songs live a lot cuz they have to fit it all within 3 hours. it bugs me as a musician of 10+ years, but it's gotta be done yea?[/QUOTE]

trial of tears is absolutely beautiful, definitely one of their best songs . . .

[QUOTE=EizingerIsGod]Images and Words is one of their best. Personally, I don't like ToT at all. Images and Words will grow on you.[/QUOTE]
fair enough, ill take you word for it. is Scenes From A Memory similar? what album is it most like?

See my post on the bottom of the last page.

rattlehead, thou shalt not blaspheme images and words in this thread. it is...the holy of holies.
actually, feel free haha. it'sj ust a really different style of music. ToT is their heaviest album, so nothing will really compare if that's what you're into.

if you thought the as i am solo was wicked...man. that's just standard petrucci shredding. you gotta hear some of his other stuff.
stand-out solos that come to mind:
surrounded from I&W
octavarium (title track)
ending of goodnight kiss off of 6DOIT
peruvian skies from FII
voices/lie/scarred from awake
the spirit carries on from SFAM

im really not much of a fan of just shred shred shred. hence my distance w/ this dying soul. that last bit is unbearable for me...

Operation get my friends into DT starts today.
Wish me luck.

The two solos that really make my jaw drop (the most) are Stream of Consciousness and In The Name Of God.

[QUOTE=Flower Dance]Operation get my friends into DT starts today.

Just play them I Walk Beside You lots :p .

And the good stuff of course.

cool. i havn't got awake.

yes, i'm more of a heavy listener. but that doesn't mean i am inflexible in my listening, i just dont like heavy cheese, that's all. though that's hypocritical, because i like Rainbow(only the uncheesy bits:p). but yeah, i've been told that IaW will grow on me by two people now, so i'll take back my words for now.

I quite like I walk beside you.

yeah, maybe for starters on I&W try pull me under, it has more of a 'catchy' feel to it, it was the song that i first liked on the album
and yeah the album it does grow on you

Does any one like Honour Thy Father?

It's my least favourite track on ToT

It's my favourite track off ToT.

Bar the rap, but I've edited that out of my version :cool:

[QUOTE=Slapping Penguin]Does any one like Honour Thy Father?[/QUOTE]
yeah it owns. that and endless sacrifice tend to form orgasms. This Dying Soul is great too.

NP: Strange Deja Vu

-i like this album. alot.

my god, someone delete this guy's account. quick.

[QUOTE=Clunge]Just play them I Walk Beside You lots :p .

Yeah that'd probably work.

[QUOTE=Lord Abortion]I quite like I walk beside you.[/QUOTE]

I hate U2 :( :(

I like U2, but it's not all that much like them.

[QUOTE=bwnstl]I hate U2 :( :([/QUOTE]
It's nothing like U2.

[QUOTE=Flower Dance]Operation get my friends into DT starts today.

A bunch of my freinds listen to DT, good luck with yours.

Good to see the DT thread has remained intact while my internet was down.

i rather like i walk beside you as well ever since i saw em play it live.

honor thy father kinda annoys me. that riff over and over again gets to me, but i love the part where james whispers "don't cross the crooked step." it's just so...evil :]

endless sacrifice is my fave bar none off of ToT.

the solos on ToT are impressive, but they're all just...play as fast as you can. plus, JR goes nuts w/ that HORRIBLE keyboard wah tone of his. SoC is probably my least favorite instrumental...

[QUOTE=Flower Dance]It's nothing like U2.[/QUOTE]
I think it is, it has quite a clear U2 influence. As with Lifting Shadows Off A Dream.

I guess so. But I don't think it sounds like U2. At least not as much as LSOAD does.

My favourite off ToT is in the name of God.

I can't get enough of Honor Thy Father. On the surface it seems really repetetive and a bit cheesy really but I can just listen to it over and over.

most of their stuff is cheesy and HTF is nothing to it lol... i really love that song too.

[QUOTE=Lord Abortion]My favourite off ToT is in the name of God.[/QUOTE]


That and Endless Sacrifice are my top 2 off of ToT.

[QUOTE=GenuineImitation]That and Endless Sacrifice are my top 2 off of ToT.[/QUOTE]

2. Endless Sacrifice
3. Stream of Consciousness
4. This Dying Soul
5. As I Am
6. Honour Thy Father
7. Vacant

I've been listening to [i]Octavarium[/i] alot lately. It's grown on me a bunch, its definately becoming one of my favourite DT album now.

Same thing for me. The song Octavarium is quickly becoming my favorite DT song.

Yeah, it's definetly a great album. These Walls is probably in my top 10 DT songs. I love how it doesn't contain all the wankery their songs usually do, and Rudess simply shines on the CD.
