Well, then maybe this forum isn't for you. No one is forcing you to come on here and read all the discussions. We are all entitled to our own opinions. If I want to make a 1,000 word rant about how the new album sucks, who's gonna stop me? You? You really think this thread you made is going to...

This. I think the TS's attitude is far worse than the people who are just honestly giving their 2 cents about an album they paid for. If you liked the album, great, if you hated it, great. I hate how we are all supposed to kiss SX's ass for everything and if we say even something remotely...

No. Well actually, I think everything that could have been said about this album has already been said. Overall, I speak for most people here when I say this album was disappointing. This album wasn't necessarily bad in any way, we were just hoping for something "bigger", especially with the...

Allen said it'd be like Dark Side of the Moon, where there wouldn't be one beginning-middle-end story (like Paradise Lost) but that it would be a collection of songs that all share the basic themes of sensory overload, human devolution, technological surperiority, etc.

I like the idea of sending the band money to record the album beforehand and getting your name in the CD booklet like what Marillion and Spock's Beard did. It would be awesome if we all pitched in for SX to record a sequel to V, since it's a concept album. They would probably end up spending the...

Very true. I wonder why so many people are so bat shit crazy about them. I know a lot of people who refuse to listen to anything but DT and just can't stop talking about how Petrucci is god. I like some DT songs, but there's just so much better music out there.

My username is actually SymphonyXV and I should have perhaps emphasized the V more. I like SX, don't get me wrong, but that doesn't mean I am obsessed with them and I definitely don't owe them anything. I never kiss up to bands. If I don't like a band's direction, that doesn't mean I'm not a...

Yeah, I can't believe they got rid of Charlie for him. Charlie's voice sounds perfect to me. I think vocals are like a crutch in most music. Like a lot of songs don't need vocals, but for whatever reason, bands feel forced to add them. DT really doesn't need vocals.

I wish DT would re-record their whole discography sans vocals. It's really hard to appreciate the music when all you can hear is a screeching voice.

Yeah I think I'm gonna pass. If they make a live album soon, I'll check that out and see if the new songs sound good live.

I'm hoping for a new LTE album soon just in case this new DT album isn't all that great. Labrie's voice just makes me cringe.

I agree. DT are great players but I usually skip the verses because most of them are horrible. I think Keith Sudano of Eternity X should replace Labrie and that might end up being the greatest prog metal band of all time.

So is it that much better than PL? I'm kind of avoiding this album right now because I feel I'm going to be disappointed.

I'm pretty sure they'll be going on a fall US tour then will probably go to Europe in winter or spring then some festivals in the summer of 2012 and a Japanese tour then maybe another 4 year hiatus?
