How awesome is this band?

Discuss it here.

 

[Mort Divine]

Not very awesome.

 

[King Richard]

Pretty fakkin good.

Just listened to When Day And Dream Unite and I dig it. Not a huge fan. Hoping that going to see them live in a bit will let me get into them more. But overall I like them. They are undeniable insanely talented musicians. Don't particularly love Keveyboy, though.

 

[King Richard]

I've been playing their albums back-to-back the last two weeks.

Is that the only DT album you have?

 

[waif]

No.
Octavarium - mediocre
Awake - good
Images and Words - good
Train of Thought - my god, like 5 songs over 10 minutes
When Day And Dream Unite - good

Train of Thought is my favorite. Systematic Chaos is great as well

I think it's hilarious that people think 10 minute long songs are extreme. That length of songs sounds normal to me.

ONOES PROG METAL WITH 10+ MINUTE SONGS?!

 

[King Richard]

Yeah, definitely fucking gay with alot of masturbation. Better put this is the shit pile.

 

[waif]

gets boring after a while...I don't mind one or two, but the inability to write something concise and catchy is a failing in my eyes.

 

[King Richard]

You are looking at it in the wrong light. A 60 minute long album is a 60 minute long album. Individual song lengths shouldn't matter at all.

You must NOT like prog rock or prog metal then

 

[waif]

except that they frequently begin and end the same.



look, let's not have this argument

 

[rms]

For DT, can't stay awake during em. Gave em a shot many times on album and saw em live last year(Redemption+IE worth way more imho) and almost fell asleep, props to a 3hr set though, real headliners.

 

[King Richard]

What begins and ends the same?

And yes let's have this argument. You want intelligent conversation, so let's do this.

That's pretty much the opposite of prog music.

 

[waif]

The songs. Begin with 2 minutes of acousticy noodling and keyboard doodles, followed by 8 minutes of slick wanking.

Prog =/= shitty
