Only one piece on the first half tastes any good IMO, the rest all have rather bizarre toppings.Now, WDADU is an okay pizza but some guy named Charlie spat all over it and a sound engineer threw it down a tunnel.
Not sure if this is controversial, but Vacant is one of the best DT ballads...possibly the best.

What is the subject matter? I also like the song, but I have no clue what it's about
so basically fuck everything

My major nitpick with DT comes in Wait for Sleep. It's in the part when James says "She has too much pride to pull the sheets above her head, so quietly she lays and waits for Slee-". The Sleep word seems like it was cut out in mid air. In the live versions James extends the Sleep word, so I can't understand why did they cut it in mid air. It's a petty complaint and I feel really nitpicky, but it somehow bothers me. Not like it ruins the song or anything though.

The Dark Eternal Night is beyond terrible, it's like Dream Theater trying to be some god awful nu metal band like Korn or Slipknot.
Here we go:Train Of Thought Is easily the worst album Dream Theater ever did.When Dream And Day Unite is top 5.There is not a single bad song on Falling Into Infinity.The Dark Eternal Night is beyond terrible, it's like Dream Theater trying to be some god awful nu metal band like Korn or Slipknot.

Here's an opinon not so much about Dream Theater, but of their fans.If you listen to Dream Theater and can not apprciate both prog and metal you are an idiot.

Which is unfortunate, because they really should look at the bigger picture.

That main riff is total stop start stop nu metal. Obviously Petrucci plays better than any of those bands, so maybe a better sound alike is Sepultura's nu metal era. Think "Roots Bloody Roots", total garbage.

Only King could mis-spell a LETTER.
Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

Everything else about the song, the instrumental breakdown, the mystical lyrics, the sludgy outro doesn't remind me of Nu Metal at all. Either way, TDEN is an awesome song.

SeRoX is right!
SeRoX is DTF's JLB!
As usual, SeRoX is correct.
I agree but Slipknot is not that bad.
Awake is way better than any pizza I've ever eaten.
Zydar is my new hero. I just laughed so hard I nearly shat.
Quote from: SeRoX on December 12, 2013, 09:49:18 PMI agree but Slipknot is not that bad. And speaking of which, if you want to blame DT of Nu Metal influences, maybe The Glass Prison and that record scratching transition should be looked at before anything else.
Though most prog fans disagree, I think a fair amount of nu-metal is quite good.Particularly Linkin Park.
Sycsa is perhaps the most brilliant and insightful man I have ever encountered.
