Dream Theater self titled album discussion - [SPOILER FREE DISCUSSION ONLY]

[Onno]

I agree, I think of it more as a lead that leads into the instrumental section.

[RMGadelha]

I agree, I think of it more as a lead that leads into the instrumental section.

like a bass solo that leads into a bass solo

[The Boomr]

I never really thought of it as a solo, considering that the guitars are much more up front. A solo to me has to stand out a bit.

Well, that's my problem with the mix....I care much less about JP wah-ing on a couple chords back and forth than I do about JR playing cool, fast lead lines....

[Lucien]

They didn't make any mistakes. This is how they WANTED it to sound.

[Lucidity]

This this this a million times.

[TheGreatPretender]

And judging purely on The Enemy Inside, it think it sounds much, much better than ADTOE. I mean, the difference is like dream and day.

yeah, but that doesn't cater to my specific audiophile opinion

This.
Seriously, I don't remember anyone complaining about the sound of ADTOE anywhere near this much, and it's easily Dream Theater's 2nd-worst sounding album ever in my opinion...

Judging from TEI, the production on the new album sounds good. Best since Octavarium at the very least...

[chrisbDTM]

Just preordered the box set. Can't wait to get it in the mail. I'll always fork over dat $$$ for DT

[aprilethereal]

Well honestly, it's how JP wanted it to sound.

Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence..... ...




... yes that's the ticket.

[puppyonacid]

Hey Kotow

I just checked out some of your music. Juggernaut. I like! I think it's mastered too hot though 

And to the dude that's going to the listening party........can you commit it to memory and record an MP3 of you yodelling the songs. Would be much appreciated.

Well, thanks but i'm no mastering engineer by any means. I like to get my stuff as close to CD volume but without brickwalling or clipping.

I'm totally an amateur and I like Waveburner as it won't even let you export the songs if theyre clipped



Imagine if someone went to the party with some manuscript paper who was an absolute genius at transcription and write down the entire album as it happened - took it home and charted it out in Sibelius and uploaded it for us here

Of course you know I'm kidding. I think they sound pretty cool.

[Kotowboy]

I wasn't sure

Cool !

Oh they did for sure. I'm pretty sure it's the standard thing having been on the boards for 3 releases now.

Cool, I thought I was the only one to have that opinion ... IMO only WDaDU have a worst overall sound ...

I didn't even know about a listening party contest! How'd I miss that one? Oh well, I'm in the states anyway, pretty far from London!
