THE OFFICIAL DREAM THEATER DISCUSSION THREAD

[Tubbs]

This track listing just does not seem right... it sounds like a black metal band.

Maybe they gave a false one out on purpose?

 

[Horus]

Well they are signed with Roadrunner now, maybe they were all like "Okay,, guys, I know you're not Metalcore, but this isn't metalcore enough."

 

[LudwigVan]

Now that you mention it, it does look like a Black Metal track listing.

 

[Kenneth R.]

Kenneth, help me out here. How do I convince my keyboardist that the members of Dream Theater actually do have egos that are as big as Mike Portnoy's kit?

Octavarium.

or, see live antics where they break into videogame themes, etc.

or, visit portnoy's forum.

Wrong! There is nothing that says anything about teh eternal evilz or Satan!

 

[Kenneth R.]

or frostbitten, bleak midwinter forests.

or trolls.

 

[Matt]

Or anything Lord of the Rings related, etc.

In the Bleak Midwinter is a great hymn actually.

 

[FatalDreams]

This album, much like all albums since Scenes, is the creation of DT and only DT with no label touch. Even moreso with this album, as they worked and got to the mixing stage even before the RR deal went official and public.

 

[progmetaldan]

Just got announced on MP's forum, DT now has an official myspace...

www.myspace.com/dreamtheater

 

[Tubbs]

Heh! It doesn't have to have mentionings of gr1m evilness or fr0stbitten forests! It still sounds black metal-ish to me.

 

[The Stormbringer]

Octavarium.

or, see live antics where they break into videogame themes, etc.

Do you actually think there is any kind of sense in your ranting?

 

[Kenneth R.]

Do you actually think there is any kind of sense in your ranting?

yes. i believe it's called 'reason'

 

[The Stormbringer]

Yeah, because Lord knows doing three-second comedic bits at live gigs is a waterproof symptom of having a huge ego.

 

[Kenneth R.]

you sound like you're very experienced with egos.

someone doesn't worship dream theaterz. omgz.

 

[Matt]

I don't worship teh Dream Theaterz d00d.

 

[Killing jOe]

I totally worship DT.
They're awesome. and i really think that the new album is going to be something you'd have never expected, like every new album they do

 

[Meedleyx10]

Octavarium.

or, see live antics where they break into videogame themes, etc.

Not sure what you're specifically referring to about Octavarium, but how the hell does playing video game themes and the like constitute having an ego?

 

[progmetaldan]

It doesn't, it just means they like to have fun with their music...

 

[The Stormbringer]

someone doesn't worship dream theaterz. omgz.

Neither do I... it's just that you enjoy riding the Anti-DT bandwagon a little too much.

 

[Kenneth R.]

Maybe you didn't read all the posts where I stated that I enjoy most of their albums, have been to their concerts at least 6 times, and own 2 of the DVDs?

A little critique is healthy. The "all positive" people are just fanboys.
