Dream Theater - Systematic Chaos

Are you being serious?
As the reigning DT fan here, I'm justified in saying they haven't released anything of quality since ACoS......12 YEARS AGO.
I guess I'll have to give this a listen
 
Falling Into Infinity and Train of Thought SUCK

I forgot about Scenes From a Memory (duh). Awesome album. One of my all-time favorites

Awake was probably their best album btw
 
I like 2 DT discs ... IMAGES AND WORDS ... and TRAIN OF THOUGHT

where does the new one fall?
 
I used to love DT but after all their various and endless side projects I learned that "prog" is a euphemism for "crap".
 
about this album: I heard it sounds like if DT listened to a bunch of death and 80s metal and decided to record something?
 
I've totally written off this album without even hearing. I haven't been able to get over falling asleep while seeing them live, and haven't had any hope for them since.
 
Yes, I have... Comfy seats at Kingsbury Hall.

I went semi-willingly. At that time I had a woman who was way into the band. She wasn't too happy when she woke me up after the first set. Then after the second set. Then after the show was over. :/
 
Same thing almost happened when I saw Opeth, btw... No place to sit though, so I was just standing half asleep.

I can still, for some reason, listen to their music though.
 
John Petrucci = amazing
Mike Portnoy = terrible
John Myung = boring
Jordan Rudess = annoying
James LaBrie = his style fit "Scenes.." very nicely but everything else has been questionable for me. Might be better off singing in a musical or something.
