Title: This might be silly to do on a DT forum...
Post by: pianoman on March 05, 2010, 10:25:00 PM: As dumb as it may be to compare DT's masterpiece with a lesser known band's masterpiece, I'd like to ask DTF to compare the two. Both are unbelievable albums. If you haven't heard this album, you must. It's a musical masterpiece. Seventh Wonder's Mercy Falls has to be in my top 5 albums of all time. I don't think there is a dull moment on that album. As much as DT is my favorite band, and SFAM is one of the greatest albums ever, there are a few (not a lot) moments that are just not that great. Which one do you like more DTF?

I must admit, this was my first thought.

Post by: OperantChamber on March 06, 2010, 08:58:36 AM: Sounds good!
:tup

I'll listen to the rest of the album a little later. They give me a Symphony X vibe.
Partly because I'm completely unfamiliar with Symphony X.

Well, this thread didn´t have much hope of not failing to begin with.

Post by: black_biff_stadler on March 07, 2010, 03:38:38 AM: Never heard of them till I just opened this thread. Currently listening to Welcome to Mercy Falls https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwg58wfB798 and I gotta say despite the vocals just taking a touch to get used to I definitely like 'em better than JLB and their ability to abruptly change keys without hurting the flow of the song is very impressive. It's kinda like if Vanden Plas took some Metamucil.
