My favourite track on 6 degrees would be Disappear. I love it so much.

[QUOTE=Prince of Darkness]I don't see why everyone likes 6DOIT so much. It's not that good.[/QUOTE]


Its not their best. Im just comparing the first and second disk.

I've been into the song "Octavarium" a lot lately.

It's a brilliant song but the intro is far too long.

hey what is the best album of Dream Theater?

[QUOTE=Lemuria]hey what is the best album of Dream Theater?[/QUOTE]

The general consensus among fans is Awake, Images and Words, or Scenes From A Memory.

My order is:

1)Images and Words
2)SFAM
3)Awake:thumb:

thanks^^^^^

Metropolis pt II: Scenes from a Memory.

I was messing around on the internet and i found a list of songs covered by Dream Theater, i was shocked when i found Would? by AIC. Does anybody have any info about that cover?

[QUOTE=Lemuria]hey what is the best album of Dream Theater?[/QUOTE]
For me they are Images and Words, Awake and Train of Though.

My order is:

1. SFAM
2. Awake
3. Images & Words

I've really been digging ToT lately. It's strange... I'm a fan of DT's early stuff. That's when I think they were at their best (part from SFAM - that album is effing brilliant), and although ToT is their heaviest album, there's just something about it that I love. I think when you really delve deep into the music and give it hundreds of listens you find the prog elements are still there. They're not Awake or I&W prog-standard, but they're still awesome.

Having said that, I hope DT's next album makes a return to their early 90's era, otherwise we may never hear that special, unique music again. :(

^ i want them to take their music where it hasn't been yet.
that's what progressive is all about right?
going back to the early 90's era (I&W and awake) would be in essence...regressive.

fave album right now is 8vm. mainly the title track. it fills me with so many emotions when i just turn it up real loud and listen to it straight through.

Yeah you're absolutely right ghetto, but I'm saying that I feel like they're turning FROM progressive all together. With their earlier music, you could tell straight away it was a very technical/prog song, however with their latest music, at first it seems like it's fairly straight, you know? Like just another rock or metal group, despite the prog element still being there.

You follow?

yea i gotcha.

in that case, then yes. i want them to retain prog elements, while trying something new.

I&W is still my favourite album.

My recent fave album is Train of Thought.

It was my least fave for a while, but now I love it.

Ah yes, but then it could be seen as progressive, making a full circle in their styles.
That means another power metal-ish album first :D

Hahaha DT doing power-prog. Dude, I can totally see that. James can do soaring high vocals:

"HIIIIIIGH ABOVEEE THE MOOOOOUUUUUNNNNNNNTAAAAIIINNNS THE FLAME OF THE DRAAAAAGGGOOOONNN SOOOOARRRSSSSS!!"

I would cream. It'd be like a dream come true.

Twould be great indeed.

Hmm, I really can't get into DT's earlier stuff.

I've been listening to Images And Words and Awake lots and neither of them do much for me.

I much prefer the newer, heavier DT, from SFAM onwards.

i love it all... :D of all the albums i have there isnt one that i havnt thoroughly enjoyed...

The older albums are better IMO.
I really can't dig ToT that much, it has good songs but some tend to go on way longer than they should. I kinda lose intrest in some of them.

Ya'see...

I really dig ToT and 8V - I love the heaviness and the synths with it, it just appeals to me a lot more.

I dig 8v more than ToT that's for sure.

Same here. 8v has a wider range of stuff. ToT's just heavy all the way through, minus Vacant of course.

Dream Theater are awesome.

Yeah, 8vm has really grown on me since I first got it.

My all time favorite is Scenes from a Memory, but I love them all. My current favorite is Octavarium or Images and Words.

oh please no pleasepleaseplease

Yeah I agree. Both HTF and ITNOG go for too long, especially the latter. Endless Sacrifice is a pretty good balance, I think, and SoC is perfect.
As I Am is a pretty good length, but TDS is a tad long as well.
