I actually hate "back to the roots" mentalia, especially in the Prog sector, but I can´t help but agree on this one...MorphineChild205 said:

Exactly. He has the ability to make the bass drum sound like a baseball bat against a leather couch. ARGH! As if it wasn't enough that he ruined DT's sound, he also stuck his fingers in the Iron Maiden soup. Nooooooo......

I can't fucking wait until the new album. I wish they would've played a song from the new album at the concert......but every song they played I knew so......yeah, they didn't.

Why, is it flying away?Count me among the ex-fans of Dream Theater here. I had high expectations for 6DOIT, was severely disappointed, and "Train of Thought" isn`t going to get my money until I`ve downloaded and heard it some times. Portnoy/Petrucci producing, Shirley mixing, and (most probably) preachy born-again christian lyrics that put Neal Morse to shame sure don`t look promising. I bet they took the "get jordan to improvise riffs in studio and make songs out of them"-route this time around too. What a sad wretch of a band Dream Theater has become...

Just to come to DT's defense here about the song titles, those titles don't necesarily HAVE to mean born again lyrics. "In the Name of God" could be about the Crusades and how people were bloodily killed because "it was god's work." Blind Guardian has a few songs about the crusades. "Honor Thy Father" could be a sort of sarcastic way of looking at child abuse, where no matter how much daddy beats you, he loves you so respect him (which of course is BS but a beaten house wife might tell their child this).
On the other hand, DT has written religious songs before (Misunderstood, Blind Faith), so think what you will I guess...

While lyrics should always be secondary to the music, if they do turn out to be explicitly Christian it won't do much to rekindle the waning appeal many feel for DT here...
