Now that we are five albums into the "Mangini-Era", I wonder what a single-disc compilation for the band would look like if they wanted to release one as a way to cover the last five albums/ten years of the band.
The rules are:
1- No more than 80 minutes of music! It must fit on a single CD. You may make an edit or cross-fade songs as you like, but please specify. You can also include radio/single edits of songs if they exist.
2- No more than 3 songs from any one album, just to not overly lean into one album or another.
3- Must include at LEAST one song from each of the last five albums, so even if you don't like The Astonishing, you've still got to include a song from it.
4- Come up with a title that isn't a title already used by the band. You can use a song title that isn't an album title, or a lyric from a song you choose as the album title.
Other than that, have fun!! I will need to take some time to think of my song choices and figure out how I can fit them into 80 minutes, but I'm excited to see what you all think would make for a great MM-Era compilation disc!

Gonna be tough fitting songs from The Astonishing on. But The Gift Of Music, 3 days. Our New World and Moment Of Betrayal should feature.

Those are solid choices, good picks from The Astonishing, and probably some of what I would pick.

I listened to most of Disc 1 on a bus ride last week. Lot of good songs on that whole album.
-
Dang I made a Playlist on iTunes with my fave 3 songs from each album and even without A View From The Top it's already 92 minutes.
But my Best of Mangini Era would be
" It's A Marathon Not A Sprint. The Best of Dream Theater 2011 - 2021 "
-
If I MUST keep the "singles" from the albums, it can't be done! LOL
-
Tried to spread it out a bit, which was hard give how much I love ADTOE lol. I completely ran out of real estate at the end. Honorable mentions are This is the Life, Out of Reach, Transcending Time. Anyway, I think it could be called Velocity or Between Dimensions (lyric from Room 137) or Weaving Through Time (lyric from The Alien)
1. Bridges in the Sky
2. Breaking All Illusions
3. Enemy Inside - really like the song but not a top 3 on the album IMO. I felt somewhat obligated to include it though as this was the first glimpse we got of him as a full member of DT who was around for the song writing process.
4. Illumination Theory
5. Gift of Music
6. Barstool Warrior
7. Pale Blue Dot
9. Awaken the Master ( could even be substituted with Alien, which isn't my favorite song, but MM really does a fantastic job, as usual, here)

If it’s a greatest hits album, it would have to include the singles, which are as follows:
On the Backs of Angels (8:42)
Build Me Up, Break Me Down (6:59)
The Enemy Inside (6:17)
The Looking Glass (4:53)
Along for the Ride (4:45)
The Gift of Music (4:00)
Moment of Betrayal (6:11)
Our New World (ft. Lzzy Hale) (3:24)
Untethered Angel (6:14)
Paralyzed (4:17)
Fall Into the Light (7:04)
Barstool Warrior (6:43)
At Wit’s End (9:20)
The Alien (9:32)
Invisible Monster (6:31)
Awaken the Master (9:47)
That makes a total runtime of 1:44:39, so obviously some songs would have to be cut. I guess I would cut all post album release singles which narrows it down to this:
On the Backs of Angels (8:42)
The Enemy Inside (6:17)
Along for the Ride (4:45)
The Gift of Music (4:00)
Moment of Betrayal (6:11)
Untethered Angel (6:24)
Paralyzed (4:17)
Fall Into the Light (7:04)
The Alien (9:32)
Invisible Monster (6:31)
That brings the total runtime down to 63:43.

I tried to offer slightly more balance than I usually do with these sort of things, but I'm still quite happy with how much I managed to squeeze in.
Dream Theater - An Astonishing View of Events over Time
1. False Awakening Suite 2:35 - Slight edit to cut out silence at the end
2. The Enemy Inside 6:17

9. Out of Reach 4:04
10. Illumination Theory 17:54 - Ambient section before the strings removed, along with the 'easter egg'
Total Runtime: 79:49
After a little more time with AVFTTOTW, I may end up wanting to have Sleeping Giant or Awaken the Master in there, so I would have to swap out The Enemy Inside and Three Days I think.

IT is clogging up too many of these CDs. No way that song should take up 1/4 of a compilation album. My opinion of course. :)

I converted the run times to decimals and added them up like that. Turns out I was almost bang on.
For example six minutes and fifteen seconds would be 6.25 .

Because of this thread, I got interested in making a Mangini-era playlist. One CD was too constricting a length so I went double. Still had to make some cuts, but most of the good music is here and in an order that makes sense/sorta tells a story.
Mangini Mania: Double Stuffed
Part One:
On the Backs of Angels
Answering the Call
Lost Not Forgotten
This is the Life
Room 137
S2N
Transcending Time
Surrender to Reason
A View from the Top of the World
Part Two:
False Awakening Suite
The Alien
Build Me Up, Break Me Down
Barstool Warrior
Sleeping Giant
The Bigger Picture
At Wit's End
Begin Again
Illumination Theory
Counts by album:
ADTOE - 4
DT12 - 4
TA - 1
DoT - 4
AVFTTOTW - 5
A couple notes:
- I swear The Astonishing isn't that bad. But the tracks almost entirely don't work outside the context of the record, so it's hard to put them in any sort of playlist
- Leaving out both Bridges in the Sky and Breaking All Illusions is weird, but both songs, in spite of their (numerous) good qualities, have serious structural problems. At a combined running length of over 20 minutes, I'd have to cut out too many other songs I like
- Also not really thrilled about leaving out Far From Heaven, Beneath the Surface, The Looking Glass, Our New World, or Paralyzed. But they didn't make it for length/flow reasons
-
IT is clogging up too many of these CDs. No way that song should take up 1/4 of a compilation album. My opinion of course. :)
A lot of people really like IT, although there is a mean old fart on this forum - not referring to anyone on this thread- who would have you think otherwise :lol

Spent more time than I would like to admit tallying up the results thus far. Probably fat fingered a few but this should be fairly accurate. All songs with five votes or more:
Breaking All Illusions 15
Bridges in the Sky 12
At Wit's End 11
Fall into the Light 9
The Gift of Music 9
Our New World 8
Answering the Call 7
Barstool Warrior 7
The Enemy Inside 7
Transcending Time 7
Along for the Ride 6
Illumination Theory 6
On the Backs of Angels 6
The Bigger Picture 6
A New Beginning 5
A View from the Top of the World 5
Awaken the Master 5
The Alien 5
This Is the Life 5
If my math is correct, you can basically take all songs with seven votes or more plus Along for the Ride, which gets you to 80 minutes. You also end up in a situation where every album is represented by two songs except for Distance over Time (3). I would probably arrange that playlist as follows:
1. The Gift of Music
2. Answering the Call
3. Bridges in the Sky
4. The Enemy Inside
5. Barstool Warrior
6. Breaking All Illusions
7. Along for the Ride
8. Fall into the Light
9. At Wit's End
10. Transcending Time
11. Our New World

There have been some great compilations AND titles here! I'm finally able to sit down and get around to making my compilation, so here it goes...
Breaking All Illusions - 2011-2021
01. False Awakening Suite (2:42)
02. The Enemy Inside (6:17)
03. Barstool Warrior (6:43)
04. The Gift Of Music (4:00)
05. The Looking Glass (4:53)
06. Bridges In The Sky (11:01)
07. Paralyzed (4:17)
08. Awaken The Master (9:47)
09. Untethered Angel (6:14)
10. Breaking All Illusions (12:25)
11. At Wit's End (9:20)
Total Time = 77:39
I wanted to include most of the singles from each album, so I came up with the above, which is kind of balanced. But if I wanted to make one of my own favorites, it would definitely be filled with the longer tracks from each of the five albums:
Don't Leave Me Now (The Long Songs)
01. False Awakening Suite (2:42)
02. A New Beginning (7:41)
03. At Wit's End (9:20) (8:20 without the Fade-In Ending)
04. A View From The Top Of The World (20:23)
05. Breaking All Illusions (12:25)
06. Beneath The Surface (5:26)
07. Illumination Theory (22:17)
Total Length = 79:14
I know a couple of those aren't technically "long songs", but I like the way FAS bookends with the "Easter Egg" after IT, and "Beneath The Surface" just works so well after "Breaking All Illusions" that I wanted to keep them together. For a single CD, I would have to cut out the final minute of "At Wit's End" (because it would go over 80 minutes otherwise), but if this were a double vinyl, you could totally put it back in, and I would also stick in "Far From Heaven" before BAI as well to complete the closing trio of ADTOE (which is THE epic side of the album, more so than BITS/Outcry, IMO, as much as I love those two songs).

This looks like fun. Ill go with this:
Album:
- Magnificent Bastard -
Tracklisting:
- 1) The Enemy Inside (6:17)
- 2) Answering The Call (7.35)
- 3) Barstool Warrior (6:43)
- 4) Sleeping Giant (10.05)
- 5) Moment Of Betrayal (6:12)
- 6) A New Beginning (7:40)
- 7) Transcending Time (6:25)
- 8) At Wit's End (8:25 - deleting live ending)
- 9) Breaking All Illusions (12:26)
- 10) Pale Blue Dot (8:26)
Total Time 80:14 (Still in the 80 minute mark, so reckon I could be forgiven for 14 seconds over ;))
Actually looks good for a compilation. Might add those to a playlist...
-
Now that we are five albums into the "Mangini-Era", I wonder what a single-disc compilation for the band would look like if they wanted to release one as a way to cover the last five albums/ten years of the band.
The rules are:
1- No more than 80 minutes of music! It must fit on a single CD. You may make an edit or cross-fade songs as you like, but please specify. You can also include radio/single edits of songs if they exist.
2- No more than 3 songs from any one album, just to not overly lean into one album or another.
3- Must include at LEAST one song from each of the last five albums, so even if you don't like The Astonishing, you've still got to include a song from it.
4- Come up with a title that isn't a title already used by the band. You can use a song title that isn't an album title, or a lyric from a song you choose as the album title.
OK, I did this without reading a single post but did want to follow the rules.
The CD is called "Our New World".
1. On the Backs of Angels (8:42)
2. The Enemy Inside (6:17)
3. Barstool Warrior (6:43)
4. The Alien (9:31)
5. Pale Blue Dot (8:25)
6. Bridges in the Sky (11:01)
7. Surrender to Reason (6:34)
8. Sleeping Giant (10:04)
9. Untethered Angel (6:14)
10. Our New World (4:12)
Adds up to 77:43 or so.

I tried to maintain a good album flow the way they did with A View and most other albums.
I also kept with the tradition of having a ballad be the second to last song.
Also I was pleasantly surprised by its length.
