Your top 15 albums :)

[Horus]

Thats cause Petrucci sounds good ALL THE TIME, not like James, who either sounds really good, or really bad..of course it might have something to do with the studios too, casue I swear when I first got Human Equasion, I couldnt tell at all that it was James...even now, everytime I listen to that album (which is like every day) I never relate James to it...

Well, that's probably also because it's not Dream Theater. Dream Theater does different things in the studion than Arjen Lucassan does. Different mixing, equalization, equpment, etc could completely chnge a person's voice. I love how James's voice sounds period. Besides, he sounded great all night at Radio City on the 1st.

 

[RobbM]

Yeah, I know. DT has to take some notes from Arjen then cause James never sounded better IMO...

 

[Tubbs]

Ayreon and Dream theater are both great, but I much prefer DT.

 

[Anonymous]

I never bothered listening to Ayreon.

 

[Tubbs]

Ooh boy! You need to. That's awesome stuff. Really progressive and far different from DT.

Then go out and but The Universal Migrator. Right Now. If you're still reading my post, then you shouldn't be. You should be out buying The Universal Migrator right now.

 

[Tubbs]

Hey! The Human Equation is awesome too!

Actually, all of his albums are good. (But I like The Human Equation the most.)

 

[RobbM]

I never bothered listening to Ayreon.

WTF is wrong with you...

All I can say is, if Issac Asimov was a songwriter, he would be Arjen.


Give me your mailing address, and ill send you some, errr, samples, yeah, thats it, samples...

I like The Universal Migrator better. it had alot more Power Metal kind stuff on the 2nd disc. Into the Quasar is one of the best songs I've ever heard in my entire life.

Into the Quasar!!! (Into the Quasaaaaar!!!!)
The gravity's higher,
Black sun in the skyyyyy!!!!!!!

NP: Ayreon - Into the Quasar

Ayreon is not really that progressive. they're definitely very 'prog' however, and the extensive dialog & poor lyrics turn me off to them, despite the quality of people involved. I much preferred Star One, or for another group, Avantasia.

 

[Bryant]

1) Vanden Plas - Christo (Yes it is that fucking good)
2) Metal CHurch - Blessing in Disguise
3) Dream Theater - Images and Words
4) AC/DC - Back in Black (I think their other stuff is mediocre at best, but My God does every song kick ass on this ?)
5) Accept - Metal Heart
6) Vanden Plas - The God Thing
7) Avalon - Eurassia
8) Powermad - Absoluter Power
9) Tad Morose - Modus Vivendi (is there better than Urban Breed on vox?)
10) Pagans Mind - Celestial Entrance/Enigmatic:Calling (Both kick ass)
11) Metallica - MOP
12) Queensryche - O:M (One of course)
13) Dio - Holy Diver
14) Goo Goo Dolls - Dizzy Up the Girl (make fun if you wish. I love it)
15) Redemption - Fullness of Time


This is not necessarily my fave 15 albums, just what I felt like writing down at the time.

Thats cause Petrucci sounds good ALL THE TIME

I'd agree if it weren't for the solo in "As I Am." uke:

 

[Androz]

13) Dio - Holy Diver

What an amazing album, Don't Talk to Strangers give me chills every time I listen to it, I hope I can see him in the Holy Diver Live tour this year(it depends in the price since i am going to see Opeth and Paradise Lost this year too)

 

[Kenneth R.]

I'd agree if it weren't for the solo in "As I Am." uke:

that song rocks in comparison to the abomination that ends that album

I have to disagree on the poor lyrics part, some of them are just repetitive.

BTW, I thought the solo in As I Am was great.

Lol, Octavarium makes my ADD go nuts and I pretty much have to restrain myself from pressing fast-forward. (I usually give in and fast-forward the start)

 

[Horus]

HAHA!!! I know exactly what that feels like! But I just think 3 words to stop those urges. "DREAM THEATER GOD!!!"


EDIT: The album, or the song? Because the only song on the album I seem to have trouble sitting through is I walk Beside You.

 

[RobbM]

I listened to the first 2 tracks and took it out of my player...

 

[Anonymous]

I meant the song. How it starts out retarded and like a "sounds of the ocean" relaxation tape.
