The Dream Theater LPs
« on: May 15, 2011, 12:46:56 AM »
I've been getting way more interested in listening to music at the best quality possible.  I was wondering how the LP's compare with their CD counterparts?

And what LP's are available by the way?  I know of WDADU, IAW, SC, and BCSL, and I think Lie, but what else?

The bass cuts through on vinyl more and it's less compressed so it sounds a little bit better. I've only encountered a few parts on BC&SL that sound like crap and that's on TSF where it kind of sounds distorted, and that's a small gripe. Other than that there really isn't much difference.

Atlantic didn't care about doing special things for DT then and I don't think they have any interest in doing so now, so I think seeing DT on vinyl is not going to happen for a while. 

But I can add that Awake was released on vinyl as well (ZeppelinDT posted a pic of it here somewhere), but chances are anything pre-SC is incredibly rare.  Even then, with most modern albums, the LP doesn't have massively improved sound over the CD version except in a few cases, so I don't think it'd be worth spending money on BC&SL or SC (because marginally better sound quality will not make SC a better album  :biggrin: (also because they're expensive as heck))
