Are you talking about the song or the album, DoG?

[QUOTE=Moses]I still listen to Korn periodically but lately I've been sucked into The Odyssey by Symphony X. My god everything is just excellent on this album.[/QUOTE]

I don't care much for that album, except for Smoke & mirrors.. My god, that song blows me away every single time.. excellent opener

Knifeboy you have the wrong album. You're thinking of Twilight in Olympus.

i really dont like the singer, but the music is great.

Im starting to like CoB a lot more...

fuk the singer though

[QUOTE=Moses]Knifeboy you have the wrong album.[/QUOTE]

Oh shi.. I knew something was wrong.. . .But smoke and mirrors still rocks my balls

The Odyssey is so freakin' awesome. The title track reminds me of the epic poem itself and every song is great.

^ Thats the one that jake uploaded right? I don't know, it was a bit to soft for my likeing, as well the singer didn't impress me much. Gimmi DT over them anyday. :p

Here, I'll upload two excellent and really impressive tracks. I think they are more talented than DT especially the singer.

... MORE talented then DT? Please man... don't joke like that. :D

I'd like to be proven wrong though.

Edit: To many users downloading... :upset:

Well the new and old bassists are better than Myung, Michael Romeo is better than Petrucci, Russel Allen is better than Labrie, and Michael Pinella is better than Ruddess (and more musical), Mike Portnoy however is a bit better than Jason Rullo. They're also really catchy which gives them the upper hand on DT.

I'll use YSI then.

[QUOTE=Moses]Michael Romeo is better than Petrucci, [/QUOTE]


you cant be serious. I mean the man is VERY good, but come on :lol:

Member vs. Member, Symphony X has no edge over DT in terms of skill whatsoever.

Myung and Ruddess are awesome.
Petrucci and Portnoy are overrated

No need, I got it. I can't wait to hear this, so I can prove you wrong about whos more talented, you just went against my religion, my friend. :)

Ruddess is overrated too by people that don't play classical/jazz piano. There's tons of people that I know personally that are better than him. I give him credit though for playing a proper piano. His technique is perfect.

Basically when you get to the caliber of DT and Symphony X there's no way to tell whose "better" or more skilled.

Then why did you say that Symphony X is better?

It's my opinion because I like their songs better and I have more respect for them as musicians. You actually brought up that you'd take DT over Symphony X anyday. I'd take Symphony X even though I loves me some DT just because Symphony X doesn't get tiresome the same way DT does.

It's also for the fact that people don't believe that there are better musicians than their precious DT.

Wicked was ok, some parts were annoying. The guitar players tone rather sucks, it sounds like a 100 dollar amp with a 200 dollar guitar... the bassist/drummer/keyboardist don't really compare yet. And the singer isn't as bad as I remember, but he has to lay off that weird effect he uses... I have yet to see this talent that brings them to DTS level. Going to edit this post with review of other song...

i like liquid tension experiment

For better musicians check out Mahavishnu Orchestra.

What effect?

Almost unrelated.. Dream Theaters old keyboard players band Chroma Key is absolutely awesome

For me, there just something [I]missing [/I] from Symphony X, like this empty space in their music that I can't describe.

Alot of people feel that way about DT.

Anyway seeing them both live was awesome. DT had an overall better show but I'm sure if it was Symphony X in their spot I would have been more impressed. The instrumental acrobatics are better received when seen and Symphony X had a few more stunning things, especially when the bassist was just shredding. (finger player too)

Kevin Moore was pretty good on Images and Words.I must check out this.Do they have song samples?

Unrelated:Have you guys heard DT cover of Master Of Puppets?

It's not they, it's his solo band.. :D

[url]http://www.chromakey.com/[/url] It seems very porcupine tree inspired at times, atleast on the old albums

He has this weird swerve in his voice sometimes, almost gives it a strange echo... maybe its not an effect, just a vocal technique or something... when he does his little yells you can hear it.

Anyways I like this song a crap load more, more progression and the vocals are better. But still not DT level IMO.

Have you seen Myung shred Moses?

Press the listen button and that site, and hear an awesome really weird instrumental

Very nice, listening to Yo Go Now, trippy as hell.

Yes, and Myung was less impressive. He taps 50% of the time.

You should get the album "dead air for radios".. That album is pure sex

Edit: You know what.. I'll just upload it for you guys

[QUOTE=Moses]Yes, and Myung was less impressive. He taps 50% of the time.[/QUOTE]
I love his tapping. Do you happen to have any solos by this bass player? (name?)

If you like Kevin Moore check out OSI...Unbelievable F'N band...Mike from DT on drums, Kevin sings and keyboards and the guitar player from Fates Warning I think and maybe the bassist too.

I will >yousendit< if anyone want to listen to a few songs.

i want to listen to OSI.. I've been told that I should listen to these guys for 9 months now.. hehe

I can't stop listening to this Chroma Key.**** you Knifeboy.I think I'm addicted.

Edit : owned, I didn't know da mn is being filtered too

Considering how that music sounds, it's no wonder the guy left Dream Theater due to artistic differences.. Hehe
