Octavarium (the song) is really beautiful, but it doesn't really have that special something that songs like metropolis have. I love the keys theme in it though

6doit is better than 8vm. Title track and Sacrificed Sons probably top anything on 6doit but the rest is clearly below - not memorable at all.

I think he was being sarcastic... Octavarium was a very good album, far from bad. As someone else said, their is no bad DT album to date. Octavarium was pretty good just missing that sorta groove, these guys tour alot, and write alot of music and work on a shitload of other projects so releasing an album that is not topping all their work can be difficult, and for some un faithful fans makes them crappy! ToT and I&W and Metrop are my favorite albums, but the others are very good as well, Their new album will be better than octavarium, don't worry. (and i know some smart ass is going to say "thats not hard to do") Octavarium was not as groovy as other albums, but you can say it was unique on its own, and 5 years down the road we'll look back and see it was an impotant part in dt history. NO MATTER WHAT YOUR OPINION IS!

why do people bring that up whenever someone says something negative about DT on the SX forum. My reasons for not being such a huge fan anymore have nothing to do with SX>proulxski said:
ps: and yes, 6DOIT is better than 8VM easily.

EDIT: This sentence came out horribly. I don't even really understand what the hell I was trying to say.

8vm = least fav. therefore you like 6doit more. unless you're confusing yourself.
Haha, this thread is funny. I like how everybody find's their opinions about DT albums facts. I agree with the comment about how Octavarium wasn't groovy like their other stuff. I just think DT got fed up with their record label so they just plowed through their last albums left to fill up their obligations and move on with their careers. Both ToT and 8varium sounded rushed and now it's time to slow down and rock it. And rock it they will

It's good to see that there are some people who acknowledge how good 6DoIT is, because it seems (among many hard core DT fans, at least), that album gets underrated, compared to the rest of their stuff. I think one reason for that is because it followed SFAM, which was undoubtedly a masterpiece. Anything that followed that album would be subject to intense scrutiny, all because it followed something as awesome as its predecessor.
But 6DoIT is, I think, one of their awesomest works. Taken away from any relation to SFAM, it's a really musically and dynamically versatile album. "The Glass Prison" on one end to "Disappear" on the other. And the second disc just speaks for itself.
It is alarming how quickly they seem to churn out new music. I can just picture Captain Portnoy with a whistle around his neck: "I know we can move faster than this, people!"

I love how some people posted the same thing multiple times in this thread. It's like those "NO WAI!!" "YES WAI!!!!" arguments

yes, in fact I think 6doit is their best album or at least I prefer it over all their discography.

Man, I hadnt really thought about like that but damn. Certainly two opposite ends of the spectrum in that regard.
