Your Controversial Opinions on DT

[Dark Castle]

Systematic Chaos + Black Clouds is the BEST pair of consecutive albums in DT's catalogue, not the worst.

Go home XBOBX, you're drunk.

[King Postwhore]

This X-Box must have the Red Ring of Death.

[Ruba]

The bottle synth solo in Along For The Ride exceeds his older brother's (BTS) already remarkable level of awesomeness.

 

FII is a classic DT album.

 

Enigma Machine is in the top 3 on DT12.

Possibly.

I just sat in my chair, with my jaw wide open for about 20 seconds. I think we just found the winner of this thread

Ah... if it was me saying it... only imagine what would have happened

I'd say the "I&W is the worst DT album" post still beats that one.

With these two I think we've crossed the line from controversial to just plain wrong.

[smegolas]

James needs to be replaced with a more modern sounding and dynamic singer.  Like, yesterday.

[Grizz]

That sounds eerily familiar...

[Implode]

Most song titles have been really lame the past few albums.

I wouldn't say the best in their whole catalog, but I would say they are best pair of consecutive albums post-2000.

Perhaps this has been stated by others on this thread, but I can't be bothered to check it out, so here goes:

Space Dye Vest is a boring piece of shit that the band wrote just so they could see how much they could sink into Pink-Floyd levels of pretension. 

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

....That's just untrue. I mean, you can not like it, but that's just ridiculous.

Talk to Kevin Moore, not Dream Theater. Kevin Moore wrote that song.

A very wrong, harsh opinion at that.

[orcus116]

Of all the songs one could peg DT with as far as pretension goes, SDV is very low on the list.

[AngelBack]

Exactly right.

[Zook]

>calling songs pretentious

[wolfking]

That's not an opinion, it's an assumption.  A pretty poor assumption I might add.

[XB0BX]

SC and Black Clouds are both amazing, perfect albums. You all have bad taste.

I concur... i never really thought of Floyd as pretentious either.

While I completely agree that Space Dye Vest is their most boring song, and quite pretentious, that's just bashing, dude.

Aaaaand we have a winner.

[Sycsa]

When I first read the ADTOE tracklist, it was quite underwhelming. Way too many spiritual overtones for my liking. Lost Not Forgotten also looks terrible without the comma. DT12 improved a lot, interesting titles, sans a few generic ones. Gotta love Enigma Machine.

Outright bashing is not allowed by forum rules.  Plus, what you said is just factually incorrect.

[Kotowboy]

Song titles don't really interest me.

No Bad song was made better by a good song title and vice versa.

[Grizz]

I've got one:
DTXII is the worst RR album.

Enigma Machine is an excellent title. So many others are just 3 words, or most likely a prepositional phrase. Beneath the Surface, Behind the Veil, Lost Not Forgotten, Along for the Ride, Through the Looking Glass, etc

Some of them aren't bad, but DT12 especially, many the titles sound way too similar.

[TheGreatPretender]

Of all the songs one could peg DT with as far as pretension goes, SDV is very low on the list.

Angsty, though, is a word I'd definitely describe it as. But that doesn't keep the piano melodies on it from being awesome.

[XB0BX]

The song titles are arguably the most important aspect of the song for me. I've still never listened to Hell's Kitchen, The Count of Tuscany, and The Ones Who Help To Set the Sun. I just can't enjoy a song with a stupid title.

Your loss. Hell's Kitchen and The Count of Tuscany are both amazing. I hope you don't listen to Frank Zappa, considering his song titles are pretty "non-conventional".

Also, the first thing you, said, LOL. It's funny to know that what you consider as the most important thing of a piece of music is not related at all with the music itself.
