[QUOTE=The Depressed]If you want the best representation of constistency - go studio album. If you want an incredible range of some of their very best songs with a few flaws - go Budokan.

Speaking of that, I've just finished watching the DVD. Disappear is an incredible song. One of my favourites by DT. Just thought I'd mention that...[/QUOTE]

Yeah, when I first heard Disappear I didn't think much of it. But when I was watching Live at Budokan and it came on, I wondered why I never really liked such a amazing song.

It's probably because it's an understated song on 6DOIT. You look at the tracklisting for the first disc and you automatically think that it's a filler tune, because of the length compared to the collosuses before it. Which is a shame, as it's my favourite song on the album.

[QUOTE=lecky]hey everyone, i love my dream theater like i love my taffy ...and im a man who loves his taffy. glass prison is my favourite id have to say followed closely by erotomania, and im pleased to see another day made it onto the songs that make u cry thread so frequently, coz thats one hell of an emotional song. peace[/QUOTE]


great reference to family guy :thumb: mayor adam west

The only track i really dislike on SDOIT on the first disk is The Great Debate. It just dosent grow on me aye.

I love the Great Debate, its got some awesome riffs. Reminds me of Symphony X a lot.

Fair enough, maybe it will grow one day.

6 degrees of inner turbulence and Awake

awake is an awesome album
that and images and words are amazing

I 'm thinking of awake and a change of seasons
if I can scrounge some money I can get them and my cannibal corpse album
if awake is more like I&W that's what I want

Awake is heavier than I&W. Check "the mirror" [URL=http://www.progarchives.com/Progressive_rock_discography_BAND.asp?band_id=378#mp3]here[/URL]

I & W is one of their best albums tho ;P

[QUOTE=Yaksha]I & W is one of their best albums tho ;P[/QUOTE]
right you are :thumb:

another day is an awesome song

I love Images and Words. Do they have any other songs that are in the similar genre/style of "Take The Time".

^ your same avatars are confusing me. i'm just now hearing of DT (yes i have been living under a rock......in a hole) and am currently downloading "A Glass Prison" and "A Change of Seasons". what should i buy as my first dream theater album?

I say go with Awake or Images and Words. Awake is heavier but I personaly like Images and Words better. They both are great albums. Also,

Follow the link and you can hear some of their stuff from all their albums.

Come on people give Metropolis Pt 2 some love. its a great album.

It's an overrated album, really.

The concept is great, and the storytelling good...but the music, I mean...they have far better songs than the stuff on SFAM.

I got some Dream Theater stuff...

I think overall they're pretty hardcore, but they're too radiofriendly to keep me interested for long.

(yes I know, they have 10 minute songs, but just because they're lengthy doesn't mean they aren't radiofriendly in sound)

whoa... I thought this thread died ages ago.

Go DT.

i love how their songs are so long and have totally different styles, keys and riffs all rolled up into one song.

I don't like Metropolis Part 1 per se...but man, the middle part of the song is amazing! the part when Myung is tapping and the keyboard does some wierd scale...****ing amazing!!!!

The only song of theirs that is radio friendly is actually on the radio, "As I Am"

Seriously, DT stuff is generally too complex to be radio friendly.

Some of their stuff off Images and Words might be radio friendly, but generally, anything from Awake on really isn't, save "As I Am"
