Tribond - Dream Theater edition

[aprilethereal]

I like this game as it is, but I've always likes figuring things out. The fact that it can be about anything and everything only makes it more interesting I think.

[?]

Bump. Anyone got ideas for a new one?

[aprilethereal]

Me, but it sucks.

[Elite]

Go ahead. I have a sucky one if anyone wants to see it. You'll get it in no-time anyway.

[aprilethereal]

Unfortunately I think a lot of people won't get this one. I told you it would suck

Build Me Up, Break Me Down
The Count Of Tuscany
This Is The Life

[Elite]

All feature the title in the lyrics.

[aprilethereal]

not what I had in mind

[Lucidity]

All feature a section with no drumming?

[BlobVanDam]

All feature a section WITH drumming?

[aprilethereal]

All feature a section with no drumming?

nope

All feature a section WITH drumming?

That's quite a bold theory, blob.

[Elite]

Is it related to the music itself or is it a little more obscure than that?

[aprilethereal]

A little more obscure again, even more than the last one

[bertoltus]

Bump.

They're all about seven minutes long. Except CoT.

[aprilethereal]

Nope. Maybe somebody could start a new one, I don't know, because mine is maybe a bit too ridiculous.

[bertoltus]

Just give a cryptic hint.

[Elite]

Okay:

- Metropolis Pt. 1: The Miracle and the Sleeper
- The Root of All Evil
- Scarred

GO!

[Sycsa]

They all feature liquids:

Metropolis - Lake of fire
Scarred - Blood heal me
TROAE - Booze

[wasteland]

They all deal with events that could (metaphorically) seriously injure your skin:

- Lake Of Fire
- Keeps burning deep inside
- Maybe I'll leave them here and BURN!

[bertoltus]

All of them feature a keyboard solo.

[Elite]

All of them feature a keyboard solo.

To the other guesses; no, not correct. But it does have something to do with the lyrics. Good luck.

EDIT: You could swap out Metropolis for Lines in the Sand, if that makes it easier for you.
Meaning:

- Lines in the Sand
- Scarred
- The Root of All Evil

[Scorpion]

They all contain the name of another Dream Theater song in the lyrics.

Lines in the Sand -> Stream of Consciouness
The Root of All Evil -> This Dying Soul
Scarred -> Never Enough
Metropolis -> The Dance of Eternity, Home

[Elite]

There we go, good job!

For the record, Metropolis contains 'The Dance of Eternity', but as the full song title is actually 'Scene Seven: I. The Dance of Eternity', that could be misleading (although it's basically always called The Dance of Eternity, like every song on Scenes, the 'Scene X' part rarely gets mentioned).

[Scorpion]

Alright, how about this.

- To Live Forever '91
- The Best of Times
- The Count of Tuscany

Hint: it's stupid and too complex.

[GasparXR]

Alright, how about this.

- To Live Forever '91
- The Best of Times
- The Count of Tuscany

Hint: it's stupid and too complex.

If you look at the year they were released, they were all released 9 years away from the year 2000.

TLF > 1991
TBOT and TCOT > 2009

[Scorpion]

Nope.

Think live.

[Elite]

Those songs have not been played live in the past 2 years.

[Scorpion]

Far more retarded.

[Elite]

So, that makes it unguessable?

[Elite]

- None have been released on a live dvd/album

[Scorpion]

Nah, not unguessable.

It has something to do with their position on the albums they are on and live performances. That should be a clue enough.

[Elite]

On the respective albums, the song before the songs in the tribond has never been played live.
Those songs would be:
- Don't Look Past Me
- The Shattered Fortress
- The Best of Times

[Scorpion]

Maybe I gave away too much, but I was afraid that it would never get solved without it. You're up Rich!

[Elite]

Easy one, for the hell of it:

- Trial of Tears
- In The Presence of Enemies, Pt. II
- False Awakening Suite

[Scorpion]

Multiple movements within the song.

[Elite]

Oh, you thought it was that easy?
