if vinyls were still the most marketable way to play music, but allowed for the same amount of space as a cd, how would you split up Dream Theater albums and why? cause it's the natural halfway point? the first track on the second side would start it off the best? etc... we have to assume each side of vinyl can handle 40 minutes or so of music, since cds can handle 80 (i know vinyls can only do, what, 25 minutes?)
ill start so you guys get an idea
I&W - this one is pretty obvious i think. Side 1 would be from Pull Me Under to Surrounded. Metropolis Pt 1 would start Side 2. It's easily the halfway point, AND would kick off Side 2 well
Another obvious one would be
Scene From A Memory - i think Home would kick off Side 2, as there is no transition from Through Her Eyes into Home. I also, again, find it is the halfway point in the album
there's going to be albums where it's hard to say where the following side would be. SDOIT i think is going to be the most controversial one. i guess in the 70s disc 2 would be one album, but our vinyls for this discussion can handle around 40 minutes of music (but an obvious halfway point would be between TTTSTA and GK)
im curious to see what others have to say
