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

[Blitzkrieg]

I quite like it. After listening to OIALT some of the songs really don't sound as good on the albums etc.

That being said, it was my first DT album, so that might have something to do with it...

It was also my first DT album, but I think the mix could better. The instruments are very uneven, some are too loud and others very soft. James messes up a few times, but thats understandable, and his positives outweigh his negatives.

A better live performance is on the DVD Live In Tokyo, I think that's the title, I can't find it right now to check, but it's totally awesome.

Also, I really need to find ToT though I am saving money...

Live in Tokyo isnt on DVD yet. It is on video, and yes, it is great. James voice is crystal clear on it. I think LSFNY is their best live offering though. It has pretty much everything you would want... Voices, A Change of Seasons, Learning to Live, SFAM... Only Scarred could have made it better.

Live in Tokyo rules. Live at the Marquee (my first DT album) also rules. LSFNY is pretty damn good.

OIALT is bad, though, especially considering they ditched the guitar solo from Scarred - what next, Deep Purple scrapping the intro to Smoke on the Water?? Either play the whole song or not at all!

 

[Blitzkrieg]

I like it.

 

[Cyclonus]

I have Live In Tokyo on DVD.

I thought it was a bootleg as it's on a DVD-R, but I guess someone got the original film and trasnfered it to DVD because its ultra good quality.

Probably the best DVD I have.

Hey Spawn... A little birdie told me that a parcel arrived at your house the other day with a certain album in it? A certain Dream Theatery album..

 

[spawn]

It did! But I havent listened to it yet

 

[Celestial-Todd]

Hurry up ya lazy bastard!

 

[spawn]

I have other cds to listen to!

 

[Southy]

But noneas good DT's newie..maybe

 

[Celestial-Todd]

Indeed!

 

[spawn]

It isnt that good, though it isnt that bad. Why do they keep throwing in time changes all the time? Are they just wankers? It pisses me off, like in the verse for As I Am, its annoying as all hell. I like Metropolis better The boyz certainly have some l33t skillz though.

 

[Spruce Goose]

shutup

 

[Celestial-Todd]

Well said Goose!

 

[spawn]

I think you need to buy some other albums if you think its heavy Did I mention I like Metropolis better? Cos I do

 

[Celestial-Todd]

I said it's heavy for Dream Theater... I never said it was the heaviest thing I've ever heard....

meh, either way, I still love the album!

 

[Spiff]

Tis a good album. I think the Blackened bit is a little TOO obvious though.

 

[Cyclonus]

I downloaded the full version of As I Am, and holy hell, that is a heavy song.

Very heavy.

In my opinion of course.

I need to find this album.

JB HiFi in Melb have it now, but it's $34. Comes with a bonus CD or something, right? Hmmmm I need dosh. Me wants Machine Head's new album too. Oh well.
