Dream Theater signs with Roadrunner

[AFairJudgement0]

^^ hehe beat u too it! Yea, im a big SFAM fan, and am pretty happy with their other albums.. Octa was a stretch, but i kinda warmed too it

 

[all_sins_undone]

lol, as for the posts concerning ToT... ToT is the only dream theater album i can listen to without wanting to kill myself, so i'd say thats a good sign

We are going to see a DT music video soon where Zorro returns and burns another scrawny man. And we will see what happened to the girl who got sucked into the toilet.

Yay!

I love DT, Awake is my favorite album.

SFAM is my favourite, though I enjoy all of their albums, except most of FII and Octavarium... I've got a good feeling about the new album, can't wait for it to be released...

 

[affinityband]

omg i love symphony x. that song with the awesome solo is awesome ^

 

[SextoyAddiction]

Am I onlt one who doesnt give a shit about record labels, as long as the band continues to make good records? allthough, DT did stop doing that with octarvium, or what ever the fuck it was

I don't think roadrunner makes a difference anymore...roadrunner got more metal in the past 3 years when most of you "got more metal." quite a dick statement, but it's probably true. ; )

 

[wankerness]

Isn't roadrunner smaller than their last label anyway

 

[Talking Meat]

Awake is a helluva album, and they've got rare talent on the instruments, but I really couldn't care less about them for the last 10 years or so.

The only 2 songs I really like a lot off of Octavarium is the title track and Panic Attack. The others are ok but no where as good as anything off of ToT or 6DoIT. Though I would have to say my favorite album is probably Awake or Scenes. Most of their cds do have memorable parts though imo.

 

[westknadrian]

yeah octavarium is mostly a pretty miserable album

 

[biggsy]

but images and words is sweet

 

[westknadrian]

indeed

Some bloke at work just lent me a dream theater album - six degrees of inner turbulence...i have never heard them before.

lots of wankery by each musician, I can appreciate the technicality of what they are doing but the songs themselves are not anything special as far as I can tell.

I think the singer at times very weak.

Reminds me of Queensryche and some of the riffing reminds me of recent (heavy) porcupine tree at times.

pretty much "meh"

I got a demo of Systematic Chaos. I haven't gotten a chance to listen to the whole thing yet, but from what I've heard so far, it seems decent at least. First off, it's all instrumental (I believe...if not, then the majority of it is), so you get to hear a lot of Petrucci's work (which I think everyone will agree is the best thing about DT), and you don't have to listen to LaBrie's whiny singing. Its style kind of resembles ToT or SDoIT, IMO, but again, I have 6 tracks and I've only really listened to two of them, and bits of the others.

Octavarium sounds like anything else they've ever done. Pure wankery.

 

[Seance]

new album is utter shit

 

[S<issors]

...and this opinion is based on...?

I've heard some of it on youtube and such, sounds killer.
