Dream Theater ''Octavium''

[Stoink]

Has anyone heard ''Octavium'' yet, I am not a huge dream theater so I dont know if it is out in stores yet. I got a promo copy and it is fucking bad ass. The guitars and vocals sound fantastic. It doesnt really sound like a dream theater cd or at least ''scenes from a memory''. I like it alot, I am a huge fan of this cd. I would encourage everyone to go out and buy it. Oh , the album is pretty heavy acutally as well.

Peace

 

[Metropolis Part 2]

You spelled it wrong. Its Octavarium

promo copy = download

 

[urinalcakemix]

thanks for letting me know its floating around! =O

 

[Stoink]

its not floating around and I didnt download it. I am an editor for metal-temple.com thats how I got it. Misspelling it shows you how big of a fan I am. Either way it is good cd.

 

[BlindPanzer]

oh ok. cool. More power to you, metal brother!

 

[Barking Pumpkin]

Okay....probably should have made that more clear so that you won't have a bunch of people thinking James LaBrie's new piece of shit isn't Octavarium.

 

[Barking Pumpkin]

Sorry about that. It's just seeing a billion threads of people downloading 'Elements Of Persuasion' and thinking it's Octavarium.....

Soo......it's not like nu-metal or something, is it?

 

[rrhoadsfan1]

I wasn't to hip on the new LaBrie disc either... I think Mullmuzzler was a better project..

 

[Stoink]

I dont know about numetal about it doesnt sound anything like scenes from a memory. That is the only other dream theater cd I have. There should be a review of it on www.metal-temple.com in a couple of days. I am not doing the review though, but I am doing this band called LaLu and they are bad ass. They are in the same vein as Dream Theater and that should be up on thursday.

 

[Barking Pumpkin]

Can't wait to see the review.

Argh! Promo's tick me off sometimes... Starts off with just a few people labels and reviewers having them - then boom! Everyone soon has a promo copy! Happened with Edguy's latest as well... I remember like almost half of the forum users on edguy's site had the promo copy before the actual CD release. It was then like "Do any of you have a purpose in having the promo?"

[Edit: Note I'm not implying this towards you - just the inevitable promo leaks that will occur soon if not already]

Still, glad to see that it sounds good. Can't wait for this!

[AngraRULES]

New Labrie kicks loads of ass all over Mullmuzzler.

Bear

New Labrie kicks loads of ass all over Mullmuzzler.

Bear

i agree. disregard whatever people say involving the phrase "nu metal"

 

[Barking Pumpkin]

The songs I heard from it were so typically commercial and bland, if you want me to put it differently. They had no redeeming musical value at all. I don't have any interest in hearing any more songs.

 

[Ruthven]

It doesnt really sound like ... ''scenes from a memory''.

Ouch. That's not necessarily a good thing for me at least.

Awesome! I was hoping they would continue in the heavy direction! I like their heavier albums the best (Awake, Scenes from a Memory, Train of Thought).

not to get too off topic but, about JLB's latest:

1. its certainly not nu metal in any form.
2. i didn't think it sounded very commercial. catchy at times, but that's a good thing. very, very melodic. if that's not your thing, i guess we have differing views.
