Do you think Awake was the last good disc of DT?

[Luis]

These days, ive been listening to Images and Awake...DT USED to be so great. Why they are now a mechanical band?? Where their magic have gone?? I miss old DT

Do you share my thoughts??

 

[Yngtchie Blacksteen]

Anyone answering "yes" to this are insane, cause Awake is certainly not the last good DT album.

Remember Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory?

 

[Johnny Wonderpants]

Their last good album was Train Of Thought...

 

[Yngvai X]

I agree Luis...Scenes is good but its no Awake...everything after was downhill.

 

[DoktorShred]

Images and awake are amazing, scenes was about 1/3 amazing, the rest sucks a bit.

So no awake wasnt the last good album, but its close

 

[Snowmaker]

I LOVE Train of Thought! Scenes From a Memory is really good too. The only one I'm not to fond of is 6DOIT.

Awake is definately one of their greats but it surely isn't there last one. All their albums are great in their own respective unique ways. Their change was all part of being creative and coming out with different material. no one wants to listen to the same sounding stuff over and over and over again.

 

[NegrocK_SyX]

Train of Thought is their last good album Btw I like more than that 6doit

 

[Velocity]

Train of Thought is their last great album, and I think Scenes is their best album EVER! In fact, Scenes From a Memory is the best album in the whole world!

IMO, after Awake, the band goes... in a different way. I just enjoy some songs, or even just parts of songs, rather than the entire album.
SFAM, to me is totally overrated. Yes it's good, yes it's catchy... but it's not a genius masterpiece or whatever. Too much wankery (thanks JP and JR :Smug: ), filler songs (through my words, one last time) and average quality material. "Home" is the best song in that disc, IMO.
So, we have different DT in the 3 eras... I don't know, maybe Awake is their last good album to me. I really can't tell now.

 

[Rediscovery (Part II)]

I personally do not like Awake at all, for me their last good album was Train of Thought

 

[yyzmoose]

Stupid question. SFAM was awesome, as was SDOIT. In fact I enjoy both more than Awake, which is also great. Train of Thought might not be the direction I want the band to go into, but its still a very good DT album.

My sentiments entirely

 

[Demonspell]

Their last really consistent album was Scenes, apart from Dance of Eternity and Beyond This Life I'm not too bothered by the overplaying on it...and even those are far more enjoyable than the pair of limp ballads. And Fatal Tragedy was for a long time my favorite DT song ever, still one of the top five they ever did IMO.

 

[yyzmoose]

I voted no, but I'm also still a DT fan, in fact quite the fanatic.

 

[Knight of the Templar]

Well... Fatal Tragedy is just... WOW!!
That's a good solo, maybe wankery, but really catchy and well structured.
Beyond this life, in the other hand... it's what I call "how to waste a great song". The intro is really great, like "Of Sins and Shadows"... and then it goes too long... a really weird solo... and then some goofy ending. I don't like that song.
The Dance of Eternity... up to Myung's bass solo is good (specially the JR ragtime solo). After that... note after note after note... without getting nowhere.

That's all IMO... so, please, don't flame me...

Peace!

Awake was the peak for Dream Theater in my opinion, yet Scenes From a Memory is also very good even for them, at least as good as Images and Words. Train of Thought is easily their worst album so far, only good songs are "In the Name of God" and "Stream of Consciousness". "As I Am", "Vacant" are average, and "Endless Sacrifice" is horrible.

 

[Kronikle66]

Images and Words is the best CD by Dream Theater
A Change of Seasons and The Glass Prison are the best songs by Dream Theater
Scenes from a Memory is incredibly overrated. I didn't think it was that great.

That's my 10 cents.

Yes, I share your thoughts. "Awake" was the last good Dream Theater album.
