Hi guys, this is my first post here.

I found my way here to this thread because I've got the same opinion as the OP, and googled led me here :)
Even though MM is technically better than MP, in my opinion he does not bring in the same groove and feeling that MP did and also I miss the songwriting abilities of MP.

When I heard the self-titled, i was like what is that? :omg: That's not DT... at least not to me. Listening to the self-titled now gives me a better understanding of what MP must have done behind the scenes. I can imagine it was sometimes hell working with him, but that musical conflict between JP & MP somehow, at least for me, made DT so great. And now that part is missing...  :'(

I really don't get this. I mean, I can totally understand people not liking DT12, two of my best friends don't like it, but to say it's not DT? I don't understand, sincerely! Explain, because I'm very interested.

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on.  Jesus is awesome, but he's damn sure no Billy Sheehan.

I think he meant to say the fleshy patch where DT's balls use to be. :neverusethis:

Actually, and I'm being dead serious here, I thought Mike already looked a little like the popular depiction of Jesus in that photo, without being retouched (see The Last Supper for example).

I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces
