I think that's rather a fair statement !
End of discussion ??

...so stop assuming it always makes sense.

 

[sol83]

[cedarbreed]

Do you mean that good lyrics HAVE to make sense ?

Labrie? Forget about this prog plague and start listening to some decent singers for fucks sake... Emotion counts more than skill for me at least...

labrie is the worst thing that happened to dream theater. he's ok, but a band like dream theater definitely requires a better vocalist!

i love dream theater. i have ALL of their albums (including the live ones and many bootlegs in mp3 format) and have seen them live once in istanbul (i was blown away). but save your breath for labrie. he isnt that great. and one more thing: dream theater has the worst lyrics ever (along with manowar)...well, except, maybe, the scenes from a memory album.

check out labrie's solo stuff called "the mullmuzzler." thats much cooler.

heavy metal or no metal at all
whimps and posers leave the hall

where've ya been by the way?

WTF poserlyrics?!?!

read this by example, from 6DOIT.

Why, tell me the reasons why
Try, still I don't understand
Will I ever feel this again
Blue sky, I'll meet you in the end
Free them, free the memories of you
Free me, and rest 'til I'm with you

A day like today
My whole world has been changed
Nothing you say
Will help ease my pain

Turn, I'll turn this slowly round
Burn, burn to feel alive again
She, she'd want me to move on
See me, this place I still belong
Give chase, to find more than I have found
And face, this time now on my own

Days disappear
And my world keeps changing
I feel you here
And it keeps me sane

So I'm moving on
I'll never forget
As you lay there and watched me
Accepting the end
I knew you were scared
You were strong I was trying
I gave you my hand
I said it's okay letting go time to leave here
And I'll carry on
The best that I can without you here beside me
Let him come take you home


I didnt say their lyrics are superb, but theyre far from bad as well.
And there isnt much posing innit! damn!

I dont understand. Have you ever read the lyrics of the following songs?

Take away my pain
Space dye vest
A change of seasons
pull me under


Have you? And btw i dont think the lyrics on the Metropolis II album isnt that good. Its just all fantasy, and I cant identify with that stuff anymore...same deal with Manowar...
