Dream Theater -Train of Thought

Great shredding as always, but you always have to make excuses for LaBrie....sometimes it is ok and then at other times it just ruins the rest of the song. Petrucci will still impress all the guitarists here though.
 
GAHHHHHH!!!!! now I know why that riff is there!!!!

This Dying Soul is the sequel to The Glass Prison.

fucking hell. It all makes sense now.

Rap is the anti-antichrist (since the the antichrist is a good thing in metal)

but there is no rapping on the DT album, everybody knows that.... its actually "agressive singing" :loco:
 
I don't like all of DREAM THEATER's releases, but TOT is my favorite. I've followed them since their first album "WHEN DREAM AND DAY UNITE" (I think that's the name, the one before IMAGES AND WORDS), and this is my favorite. I think this is a more agressive DREAM THEATER, tackling some serious issues lyrically. Besides, tis band is a "MUST SEE" live.
 
I've liked Dream Theater for a while now, and I think ToT is a great album. I don't see where this section is causing pain for people to listen to, I'm fine with it. It doesn't last long anyway. Besides, I don't listen to just the vocals, Labrie has never been a favorite of mine, I'm in it for the Myung/Petrucci combination. And Ruddess is awesome too.

ToT is deffinitely a step up from Six Degrees in my opinion, but I don't know if anything will ever top Awake and Metropolis Pt2. Awake had some nice heavy parts, and Metropolis had some fun rythms along with a good story to it. The only thing I'd like better about either of those would be if they got different vocalists for each character in the Metropolis story. I don't like James singing essentially four males and a female.

In short: ToT good, but not great... unless you're talking musicianship, they've still got it.
