Well shit, you're right.  Hurray for American ethnocentrism.

what does their name even mean?
Of course Dream Theater isn't that good. Good music is obviously about 3 minute pop songs and catchy hooks.
Dream Theater aren't that good. Neither was Beethoven, or Mozart, or Bach. Pfft, 20 minute epics. Who needs that?

Pretty cool.

Anyone know if there's another album in the pipeline?

So I have their three studio albums on my iPod now. Funeral on first listen was pretty average, but after the second... :hefdaddy :hefdaddy :hefdaddy

I believe that they're currently working with James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem on a new record,

bump

Anyone ever play with these?

https://www.beonlineb.com/click_around.html
https://www.sprawl2.com/

Interactive music videos for Neon Bible and Sprawl II. You can use your cam in the Sprawl II one and move your hands to the beat to keep the video going. They're both cool though. :) I probably prefer the Neon Bible one. It actually made me enjoy the song more.

EDIT: https://www.thewildernessdowntown.com/

Another! Turn your popoff block off and don't click any of the windows till the postcard part. It's amazing. You can enter your city or even an address or specific location.

Pretty sure James Murphy from LCD Soundsystem is producing it. Pretty excited about that.

I swear, I cannot get Régine singing, "It's just a reflektor," out of my head.  The way she sings that is so magical.

This is a good sign that the next album should be pretty cool.  I like the song a lot but I'm not positive that it had to be 7 minutes.  A very minor mark against it.  :tup

I think the 7 minutes goes by really quickly thanks to the groove the song provides.

I've been addicted to these guys this week though, listened to Funeral like three times in two days.

So far all the songs have had a catchy groove to it. I like it.

Yep, I can't wait to hear this record.  I love that video with the three tunes, featuring appearances by, among others, Bono, Rainn Wilson and Ben Stiller.

Interestingly, they are doing some little mini-tour (like a handful of shows and appearances) right now as The Reflektors.  They were even introduced and referred to as The Reflektors on Colbert the other night.  I guess this is their attempt at being clever. :lol

Still can't wait for the new record. :coolio
