Opeth has a wicked quality that I don't think DT will ever have (maybe if Petrucci embraced Satan and Petrucci, Myung, and Portnoy sacrificed Labrie who can give real metalheads the giggles, in a ritualistic ceremony, and ate his entrails it would give them the power to start making edgy music).  Of course I am not endorsing such an act, but I just feel that DT lacks bite. 


You're hilarious on this site. LOL

Anyway, I go with Opeth as well. Both for a preference to darker metal and just out plain quality/consistency.

I honestly hate Dream Theater and I find Opeth to be quite overrated, but I guess I'll go with Opeth as some of their albums alright.

Both are fantastic.... but it would be a crime for me to go against Dream Theater on this one. Opeth is one of my favorite bands as well.

I think Images and Words is better then my five Opeth albums (not combined), but Systematic chaos....nope cant listen to the hole thing without getting bored, bought Awake today so I might listen to that for now

I realy like Opeth also have there 5 albums from Blackwater Park til Watershed soon i will go backward (moonwalk) to their more death/black metal albums, looking forward too listen to Stil Life

Opeth is one of my favorite metal bands and I'm not a fan of Dream Theater in the least. 
Obviously voted for Opeth. Rawks

Hmmmm..... this thread looks oddly familiar.
Perhaps I've seen it on a different website. LOL
 
Went with Dream Theater then, and I'll do the same here as well.

Opeth by numerous country miles. Never been a DT fan, and I'm afraid I'll never become oneWink.
