Systematic chaos is 9 days away now, and I am pretty excited. What are your favorite five tracks and three albums? Pour moi: Tracks: 1.Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence(Live from Score) 2.Take the Time 3.Metropolis 4.Finally Free 5.The Great Debate Albums: 1.SDOIT 2.Images and Words 3.Scenes from a memory (In no particular order) That was hard and they are all with LaBrie. But I probably should say, my favorite pre-LaBrie era song is 'Only a Matter Of Time'. Anyone else here like a bit of Liquid Tension Experiment? |

I used to live in silence, I used to sleep in silence. Now all I hear is a marching of soldiers in my head.

Hmm, Nice choices. I haven't listen to that much of octavarium, I know, I'm a sinner. I spent ages looking for The Ministry of Lost Souls in my music collection, I forgot it was off Systematic Chaos. I am however sad theres no instrumental tracks on SC. |

The Ministry of Lost Souls makes up for no instrumental tracks. The majority of the song is vocal-less. I usually dread instrumentals, honestly. There's only a few I like, and they're usually from these guys. Like, Hell's Kitchen or Overture 1928; I enjoy those very much. Majority of Dream Theater fans (mainly older fans) don't enjoy Octavarium though. =[ I don't really care though, its one of my favorite albums by them. It's basically a huge nugget. You have to read the guide about it, there's a link on Wikipedia. |

1. Overture 1928 2. 6:00 3. The Root of All Evil 4. These Walls 5. Stream of Consciousness I just started listening to their new album this morning so we'll see how I feel. I'm with JP though, I really enjoyed Octavarium. Although I jumped on the Dream Theater train pretty late, I have their previous albums and like Octavarium the most

I just got into Dream Theater about two months ago, but I have at least 5 of their albums, along with the Live At Budokan. I'm still hoping to get a hold of everything they've ever made. ![]() Songs: 1. Instrumedly 2. Octavarium 3. As I am 4, Stream of Consciousness 5. A Change of Seasons Albums: 1. Train of Thought 2. Octavarium 3. Images and Words There's only a few songs by them that I haven't really liked. |

As I am Is a good song, i also really like Another Day. Overture 1928 was a brilliant remix type of thing of the original Metropolis, it is brilliant listening to them one after the other. Zeus, I wouldn't call myself one of the Old dream theater fans, but I generally like their older stuff. Root of all evil was brilliant on the Score DVD, have a look at this if you haven't seen it before. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AfdicFlGGw I did really like Score, but I felt they left out some of the classics, but I guess with so many songs, and mainly long ones, it must be hard to fit it in. |

I wasn't saying newer fans don't enjoy their older albums. I plenty enjoy them as well, tracks such as Another Day or Lifting Shadows Off A Dream. I'm saying that their older fans (Images And Words, Awake, etc) don't enjoy Octavarium all that much, if not at all. Reason being is that the whole album sounds a lot like they were trying to cover other bands (I Walk Beside You sounding very U2-ish, and Never Enough sounding very Muse-like), and that ticked off some of their fan-base. I thought it was a very interesting album, somewhat experimental for them, although they usually always are a bit experimental in their music. (Repentance on Systematic Chaos, <3) It can be seen as a sort of tribute-like album to their influences. |
