Metal Reviews

Screw that, buy Opeth , stick to the good shit.

Awake was much harder for me to get into than Scenes From a Memory. Awake was the 3rd CD I got from them. Falling INto Infinity is the one I like the least from the lot and Octavarium is just one rank above it....

thats how i'd rank DT albums

1. Metropolis Part 2: Scenes From a Memory
2. Images and Words
3. Awake
4. Train of Thought
5. 6 Degrees of inner turbulence
6. Octavarium
7. Falling Into Infinity

You know Opeth for me is interesting, i try to get into theyre music countless of times, I liked Damnation, depressing as hell, but good. But the vocals just fuck it up for me, sorry the music is so good and atmosphere all over the place, very moody band, but again the vocals just not my thing.

My favorite DT album is Awake, my second fav is Octavarium.. ah screw this.

1. Awake
2. Octavarium
3. Images & Words
4. Train of Thought
5. Scenes From A Memory
6. Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence
7. Falling Into Infinity

Anyways, yeah, buy Awake, it was my first DT experience and from day one to now its one of my fav albums of all time.

when dream and day unite...or not? :?

hehe
I don't think very many people like When Dream and Day Unite
But it's one of my favorite albums :? sigh

Judging from what I've heard, I would stay far away from everything except Images and Words. Awake and Six Degrees...bored the shit out of me.

Kinda hard choice, but I think Awake is a good choice after Images and Words, but it's not as strong.

Here's my best of list:

1. Images and Words
2. Awake
3. Scenes from a Memory
4. Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence
5. Train of Thought
6. Change of Seasons
7. Octavarium
8. Falling into Infinity
9. When Dream and Day unite

Meh, I say get When Dream and Day Unite or Change of Seasons.

They are the better choices, they may not be a better choice as far as getting a better grasp of DT's style, however, they are some of DT's best albums.

I guess you haven't heard all of their albums then, have you?

Well, this weekend I finally got the famous "Awake" album !!
Thank you all for all your recommendations !!!
I followed your advice and pick up this one as a second album. I didn't get the time to listen to it yet but I'll give you my impression about it as soon as it's done, ok...

Tell me what you think of "Space Dye Vest".

1. Images & Words
2. Train of Thought
3. Scenes From A Memory

Other albums Suck IMO

Well...I finally listened to "Awake". One month later. Anyways.
It's a good album in general, but I think I really think "Images & Words" is MUCH BETTER, still.
My favourite songs on this album are probably "Lifting Shadows Off A Dream", "The Silent Man" and "Innocence Faded". I'm not disappointed with "Awake" but I don't like ALL the songs, on the opposite with "Images & Words".

What do you think of "Octavarium" ?

Not as good as their others. I mean, it's good, but I'd go for Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulance next. Every song is fantastic, and it's only a step away from Images & Words. Buy it.

OK. Thx ! I'll surely try it too...but maybe later, since I have other priorities to listen to.

By the way, I think "Space-Dye Vest" is pretty good !!

Ha, cool! That song has been a favorite of mine for awhile now, and it's the most depressing song I've heard second only to "Dissapear" from the previously mentioned Six Degrees.

I would avoid Dream Theater. Too me that are talented musicians peiceing things together to enthrall you rather that writing a good qulaity song! I have over a 1000 cds and dream theater cds will never be in my rotation. Only if i wanted to bore myself to death with skilled musicians that are way to "prog" for me to deal with
