Pretty much all of us here love Dream Theater, so im gonna just put the word out that the new Dream Theater Album, "Systematic Chaos" is VERY Good, it has some of there coolest riffage yet, and of course John Petrucci melts your face with some Amazing solos, some that will burn your skin with speed, and some that will calm you down and bring a tear to your eye. Here is the video track for one of my favorites off the album, "The Dark Eternal Night"

So anyway, what your opinnions of the new album? My favorite song off there has got to be "In The Presence Of Enemies Part 1 and 2", and probably "Repentance","Constant Motion" or "The Dark Eternal Night"

They're pretty cool. I don't know them aside from Images and Words, though

Posted by: Gen Jun 8 2007, 02:01 AM

One of their best albums!!!
Metropolis part 1 is a masterpiece!

Posted by: The Uncreator Jun 8 2007, 03:35 AM

Anything Dream Theater is a masterpiece, im in love with Octavarium

Posted by: Gen Jun 8 2007, 04:10 AM

With the album or just with the song?

As with all of their albums, Dream Theater delivers a brilliant performance on Systematic Chaos. If anyone is considering getting it, go for it! You will not be disappointed.

+1
In the precence of enemies 1 & 2
The dark eternal light

Overall I think the album keeps a very high standard and a big plus for it's heavy.

Constatnt motion has borrowed plenty from Metallica, esp. Battery. But for a band that once ripped off the entire Master of Puppets album on a live performance that's pretty cool

I came back from DT concert 4 hours ago - it was good, although it was too f**** loud and you could only hear drums and bass playing. But the show was great. Don't have any pics 'cause i only had the cell-phone camera with me. They played tons of old songs - from Images and Words and Scenes From The Memory (which is my favorite album from DT), than Train Of Thought songs, and 3 or 4 songs from the new album.

I felt totally wasted after the show - i want to play in a band and i can't find a decent band

Well, anyway - it's the DT quality of the show!!

I've been little out of date with DT recently, so thx to let me know they release the new album. I'm gonna check them right away As soon as I listen to the new album i'll let u know wich songs are the best form me, but surely i'm gonna love everyone

I really like Dream Theater. I also have seen them live here in Argentina and (as Pavel said) the sound was bad because the played in an open stadium. But they are very excelent musicians and I want to get know their new album!

Posted by: Andrew Cockburn Jun 8 2007, 02:21 PM

Hey Pavel, its a crime that you can't find a band - what have you tried? Maybe you need to do adverts, auditions etc and get really organised about it, like you are on a mission! Or do you think there just aren't musicians with the right talents in your area?

Posted by: steve25 Jun 8 2007, 02:27 PM

Personally i really don't like Dream Theater. I heard some of their last album and first and didn't like it at all. This song is ok but i've heard so much better but for the sake that they might have changed a bit i might try their new album.

Posted by: The Uncreator Jun 8 2007, 02:53 PM

When i saw them on GIGANTOUR, It was the exact opposite, for the first 2 songs you could only hear Guitar and Vocals, after the 3rd started though, all the intruments evened out.

But damn, Petrucci can really shred it live, dead on accuracy thats usually better than the studio.

Posted by: Pavel Jun 8 2007, 06:27 PM

There is no point in doing it here - people are jealous and the attitude towards me is:

1. He's a mother f*** shredder and knows nothing about music!!
2. I don't want him in a band because he only wants to solo!!
3. I don't want him in a band because i am loosing my soloing position than!!

OR

4. He's too good to play with us.

Next thing is - bands are created by 17-19 years old guys who know nothing about playing their instruments and can only play pentatonic scale and 2 damn power chords. This kind of bands fall apart after 1 year of existence - i am not interested in this kind of bands. Guys after 22 years think too much of themselves here and think they are too good to play with anyone but they are actually total beginners.

I want to break out of this lousy stinky country after i finish that university and get higher degree in IT.


So, my plan is still as follows: practicing hard while being in university - and by the time i finish it i should have some decent material to send around record labels and create a MySpace profile for further advertisement.

I wish i knew what God has stored for me....



Speaking about DT - i only like the "The Dark Eternal Night" song from that new album!

I stopped listening to them after Octavarium came out.. I find that album boring. And I thought Train Of Thought sucked but damn Octavarium beat that.

I love Liquid Tension Experiment though, everything that they made was an impact to my life as a person and musician. I do find myself wishing that DT should retire and LTE back to make another album or tour.

Pavel why dont you just become a solo musician.

Posted by: The Uncreator Jun 9 2007, 02:19 AM

Dude i would love to be in a band with someone alot better than me, like you

In my mind i could learn from them while writing some kick ass songs, to bad i dont live in norway or you live in florida, or else id be in you rband no problem.

Posted by: Pavel Jun 9 2007, 09:13 AM

One day i hope!

Back on topic:

Train Of Thought is good album in my opinion. Octavarium sucks bigtime. My favorite songs are still from album Scenes From The Memory and Images And Words.

Posted by: The Uncreator Jun 9 2007, 05:16 PM

So im the only one loves Octavarium?

Man i think im the only one who has never been un-satisfied with a dream theater album

Anyone know if Dominici's solo work is any good?

Posted by: Gen Jun 9 2007, 05:49 PM

I love all dream theater s albums, octavarium is not my fave but i really love the last piece!! Octavarium! lol^^
Yea Dominici and his band works pretty good i think!

Posted by: Pavel Jun 9 2007, 05:54 PM

Dominici was a supporting band to Dream Theater on the show i saw. And i must say it totally sucks. The music is heavily COPIED from DT and he can't sing at all.

Posted by: The Uncreator Jun 9 2007, 07:10 PM

Octavarium is a classic DT Track, but Images And Words, Scenes From A Memory are THE Classic DT Albums

@Pavel: Yeah that kinda reminds me when Thomen Stauch left Blind Guardian and Started Savage Circus, And they rip-off Blind Guardian left and right, they have some original stuff, but the guitar tone is quite obviously stolen from Marcus and Andre.

Posted by: Pavel Jun 9 2007, 08:31 PM

Didn't know Thomen started his own project.
Well, Dominici was just stealing pieces of Dream Theater - not only the style - but the exact pieces of the songs!
And he's just screaming in the damn microphone so it sucked big time!

Posted by: MickeM Jun 9 2007, 09:49 PM

You're not completely alone I keep Octavarium high on my charts. These Walls is one of their best songs ever... omfg what a piece that is

Posted by: GroovinMastiff Jun 9 2007, 10:05 PM

I do enjoy the new album, especially "In The Presence of Enemies" parts 1 and 2, but my favorite DT albums would have to be "Images and Words" (no surprise here ) and "Train of Thought" (love the fact that it's heavy and technical at the same time).

Posted by: The Uncreator Jun 9 2007, 10:37 PM

Man, im kinda hesitant about purchasing his solo album now, i dont want to drop $17 for a dream theater knock off when i could spend $17 for Dream Theater themselves.

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Jun 12 2007, 09:59 PM

Scenes from a memory is for me the best album od DT! I wasted this cd... listening to it day by day. I also like Awake very much and talking about the lasts albums I find Train of thoughts interesting.

Posted by: misterj Jun 15 2007, 07:46 PM

i recently bought my first dt album. images and words. i dug it so much that i'm about to buy another. what does everybody think it should be? it seems that scenes from a memory is the most popular. when trying out a new artist, it helps when someone knows their best stuff.

Posted by: Pavel Jun 15 2007, 07:51 PM

Scenes From The Memory is their best stuff in my opinion! I'm not a big fan of DT but Scenes From The Memory is a killer album! And then Train Of Thought is also very very good one!

Edit: I see Gabriel and i agree in many things hehehehe
