I love it, you could talk different shades of Lebanese horse piss and it would still end up in a Dream Theatre based discussion. Well at least I agree with you all.

Jordan Ruddess is one of the only two keyboardists that I actually enjoy listening to solo, and one of the big reasons is his patches.

Yeah, I completely agree. Most of Rudess' sounds are disgraceful, especially since he has a really sweet synth setup (OASYS, I think?). C'mon, it can't be hard to program better patches with a monstrosity like that.
Anyway, Dreamscape is new to me, and I much prefer Moore over Rudess, so I'll definitely give 'em a go.

I believe that "never" was on purpose.
I agree, they are very good. They were in my recent discover-new-bands-spree, along with Stride, Winds and Mechanical Poet (I know they split up, and I know a lot of people hate them, but I like the feeling they get in their songs).

I agree with Jax on that one, but to a lesser extent. The patch he uses in Glass Prison at the part "Help me. I can't break out this prison all alone..." is such an out of place effect. Also, in The Dance of Eternity, there's one part in there that reminds me of a chase scene from a cartoon or something. But some of his patches are really cool though.
I really need to start staying on topic more.

100% agreed!
First, Kevin Moore's "style" had deviated almost completely from anything Rudess or Sherinian are doing these days. Moore's new material isnt even metal, or close to it. I absolutely love Chroma Key, O.S.I., Ghostbook and Graveyard Mountain Home, but I just find it ridiculous to compare him to the other two guys.
Jordan's sound certainly lends itself to some criticism, but I still think it's the best fit for DT as a band right now.
But if I had to choose my favorite of all 3, NOT just basing it on DT material, Derek Sherinian is my favorite, by far...

This gets my vote as post of the year; you’re a girl after my own heart! Marry me and lets run off to the West Indies!
It's like well its Dream Theatre, they the assumed masters of the genre so we dare not question some of their sounds for they are our musically intellectual superiors. If we don't like Jordan sounds it's because we don't 'get it' and the artistic value is lost on our unrefined palettes.
Arts for arts sake can kiss my arts!
Vote Kevin Moore in the next general election!

Ha ha I know the part you mean, I had it down as a more silent western cowboy movie motif.
The playing technically on that part is awsome I must say albeit somewhat out of place.

Jordan's patches just have more a more powerful sound than most other keyboardists imo. I personally hate keyboard solos (weird coming from someone who's favorite band is SX) just because the tones are always so weak and bland. Its not that they cant write decent solos, but I just dont think the keyboard has the right sound to be a lead instrument in a metal band.
