Dream Theater's music videos are consistently dull other than Forsaken - why do they keep bothering?

They couldn't bother to try and give us some real imagery and visual insight into the album?

Great song, great melodies, lots of emotion, sweet solo. Drum production leaves a bit to be desired but it's pretty similar to I&W's anyway.
Music video is serviceable, visuals are ok, not bad though.

"They couldn't bother to try and give us some real imagery and visual insight into the album?"

Are you serious? Have you seen all the effort that went into the initial marketing - with character pictures, a map, locations, "NOMAC" sketches, critical location artwork, an album trailer and emails from both 'sides' of the story being drip fed bi-weekly to fans for months before the release?

I've never seen a band invest so much before. Whether you like the album or not, you can't deny the sheer effort that's been put into it.

The video is average at best. The song is good though, however, it's nothing that gets even close to Metropolis: Scenes from a Memory. Unfortunately pretty much all their music has gone downhill since then.

This basically.

so overrated, they had like 2 good albums from start to finish and even that's debatable

Good song, mostly good video though would like it more without the story-related visuals. Watching DT play is always fun even if you don't like their music.

At least the cgi in this video isn't as bad as the trailer. That was hilarious.
