Looking forward to listening to their new album, hopefully Jordan will give the other members some space on this release (he knocked himself out on ADTOE)

A Dramatic Turn of Events is excellent, which was a pleasant surprise after Systematic Chaos and Black Clouds. Their best since Six Degrees (and just slightly better than Train of Thought) IMO.
I'm excited for the new album.

I recomend picking up the last album. It's a very weird return to form. More of a prog rock than a prog metal album. Still a good bit of metal on it

I used to WORHSHIP Dream Theater from I&W up through SFAM. From there, they started getting repetitive, IMO. Still extremely impressive musicians, and a great singer, but I got to where I could tell what they were going to do as a song went along.
To this day, I have neither bought nor heard ADTOE. I keep meaning to pick it up, but just never do. The closest I came was recently I saw it at the used CD store, took the case to the counter to buy it, and they could not find the disc. :(

implying most of Dream Theater's discography doesn't just sound like a rip off of Rush, I thought that was why people listened to them
Jonas' comment is a pretty accurate description, depending on the styles of music you like. Edited by Triceratopsoil - 04 Apr 2013 at 10:49am |

I really don't know why Black Clouds is such high praised. A Nightmare's only really great bit is the middle section, The Count Of Tuscany is only good at the start at the end, Wither's an alright ballad, A Rite Of Passage is one of the bands weakest songs, The Shattered Fortress is just alot of old ideas put into a new song and The Best Of Times just sounds like a ripp of off Rush

Personally I find that most of their albums feature incredible tracks, some standard quality stuff and a couple of really saccarine ballads or power ballads. Some albums are more interesting than others. My personal favorites are Images & Words and Awake.

Not exactly, more like they have a lot of pretty unremarkable albums that are maybe worth hearing once. |

I'm very excited to hear this! I'll echo everyone else's sentiments, and say that I hope Mangini is involved more in the creative process this time around.

I find Falling into Infinity to be one of Dream Theater's weaker albums. I adore Black Clouds and Silver Linings, one of their best albums in the later part of their career. I like A Dramatic Turn of Events although it didn't quite live up to my expectations because Black Clouds was so ace.
In regards to DT releasing a new album, I'm excited to hear it!

Yeah but I�m sure you agree that it�s essential listening if you�re interested in progressive metal?

I�d recommend getting started listening to Dream Theater. They are like THE kings of the progressive metal genre. Start from an end an work yourself through the disco. I think that�s the best way to experience their massive discography.
