3) Under a Glassmoon
4) Pull Me Under
5) Surrounded

1.Surrounded
2. Metropolis pt.1
3. Learning to live
4. Another Day
5. Wait for sleep

1. Learning To Live
2. Metropolis Part 1
3. Pull Me Under
4. Wait For Sleep
5. Take The Time

Take the time took a while to grow on me. I still don't like the intro all that much.

I agree with that, it just didn't fit with Dream Theater really, but then towards the middle of the song, the instrumental parts are really great. The kinda funk bit (hard to describe..) with short staccato notes is awesome, along with kevin moore's best lead for DT.

It's a hard album to choose from because the songs are all great but the part in surrounded 'i know its easier..' always kills it for me.

That part in surrounded is absolutely beautiful, James is wonderful there.

According to the 5YIAL commentary, Mike was listening to alot of early rap aroud that time, that's where the influence on Take the time came from.

Yeah he is good, I am one of the rarer fans who actually like James LaBrie instead of think he ruins Dream Theater so i don't disagree, but it just seems cheesy to me, maybe the lyrics i dont know. Just like that part in Learning To Live where before it, the lyrics are great, then it comes to 'the 90's bring new questions..' and it just seems so cheesy to me.

I think most of the regular posters in this thread like LaBrie and believe him to be an asset. Me being one of them.

That's a lyrical thing, I think.

Actually, most people in here love James, I know I do. Except that one guy in here, I forget his name...

Doesnt Cain hate LaBrie's vocals?

Same here. I wish I had a voice like LaBrie's.

I dont really wish I could sing like LaBrie. I would much rather have the ability to shred like Petrucci.

I wish I could do both. At the same time. Petrucci has a pretty good voice as it is though. Those backing vocals on Silent Man on SFAM are awesome.

Thats Petrucci...:eek: . I thought it was Portnoy.

He does have a good voice.

I heard it was overdubbed in the studio though because Petrucci got the words wrong. Still, great voice.

If I sold my soul to Satan, would he let me sing like James in exchange?

Maybe. Try it...

I think you have to play images and words backwards to communicate the message to him.

Either that you you can Instant Message him. Im sure they have the internet down there.

I don't know. He seemed to just get really shy.

He is also

I have yet to hear Myung talk.

He did an instructional video. That must've been hell for him.

Really. I would love to see it. Did he give a wise a[I]s[/I]s answer about what he was playing once on a DVD?

He only talks sparingly in the commentaries.

I love the bit in I&W live when everyone goes to get a cup of coffee and a toilet break in Mike's drum solo.

Whats their best DVD after Budokon?

LSFNY is my favourite...
