Everyone here will like the new Dream Theater... Even Spawn

[Spruce Goose]

It is very heavy. It has some refereces to old Metallica (Blackened, Orion), it is very heavy, it has some dark lyrics, and it is very heavy.

It's an awesome album. In the Name of God is my early favorite. Its about 3 polittical leaders. It is very majestic with an awesome main riff and brilliant outro. A definate DT Classic in the vein of Learning to Live. Will be awesome live.

Also, there is one of the heaviest pieces of music I have ever heard during Honour Thy Father (Written about Portnoys hate for his Step dad). After James sings 'Dont Cross the Crooked Step' in a distorted voice, a mega riff emerges that grabs you by the balls and crushes them 3 ways from sunday. Tis good shit

I am pretty sure that you would all like this album. It is different to most of Dream Theater's previous work. It does have the usual wank fest parts that I love, but overall, it is a different sound.

Go buy it, and then listen to it.

Oh, the album is pretty heavy too

 

[spawn]

Its heavy.. But does it ROCK?

 

[Spruce Goose]

Its heavy, and it most certainly does rock.

Would it help if I added a few

 

[spawn]

Thats better

 

[salty]

Let me add a few more to the fray...





! ! ! ! ! ! !

 

[salty]

Yes...It is THAT good!

 

[KoichCPA]

I like boobs

 

[spawn]

We all do!

 

[Goreripper]

Dream Theater bores me shitless.

 

[Spruce Goose]

Do you have any early faves Salty?

ITNOG, Vacant/Stream of Consciousness are the major standouts for me at the moment. I love some parts of this dying soul. Fuck that is one heavy track. The opening rules! Endless Strugle has some definate plusses. The main riff reminds me of Michael Jacksons 'Give into Me'. Do you hear that?



I love the little 'techno' dance beat section in In the name of God though. Fits the song so perfectly. I love that song so much.

 

[KoichCPA]

Ok, so what sprucey is saying is that the new dream theater is heavy, sounds like michael jackson and has techno.

thats not a good mix.

 

[Spruce Goose]

Oh but it is

Also has Ragtime, samples, rap, and Satanic movie quotes

 

[spawn]

No boobs though.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

'Give In To Me' is a great song with cool riffs, so it wouldn't be a bad thing.

I am very keen to pick this one up, but might not be able to afford it for a while. Damn Christmas and stuff.

 

[TinMan666]

I'm actually not expecting to like it much.

Too many people are saying it shows a big metallica influence... but I guess I'll get it anyway and give it a chance.

 

[Cyclonus]

I must buy this.

I hope it comes out in Mildura or I will flykick someone.

Probably Koichi.

 

[Southy]

Its very well worth the listening Tinny..it is very fuckin good

 

[KoichCPA]

I'm possibly the sexiest peice of man this side of adelaide.

 

[Celestial-Todd]

The album fucking smokes!

Hard to pick a favourite song, they are all awesome for their own reasons.... but In The Name of God has one of DT's greatest outro's ever!

 

[Gavin]

whats the name of the album?
