matt1722's Top 10 Albums v. Who is this guy . . . And why can't he count to 50?

[Scorpion]

As I already said in various other threads, Devin does absolutely nothing for me, even after trying out Alien, City, Addicted, Ghost and Decon.

However, the rest of your list has been pretty good, so I'll let it slide.

Bridge Across Forever is sex transformed to music. It's a shame I only recently discovered it and that's the only reason it didn't make my list when I made it. Tt would be in the top 10 definitely. Also, Deconstruction is solid, but Devin has two better albums (Ki and Terria) and only the latter should belong in a top 10. It's good, but not that great.

Very apt metaphor there, dude. 

[WebRaider]

Devin is awesome of course and I'm in need of checking out that Machine Head album.

Do it you will not be disappointed.

Yes!! this is completely actuate, I'm a little bummed I did not think of this metaphor my self. 

I love everything that Dev has put out and Ki and Terria are god tier albums, but Deconstruction does something amazing for me.

Humm it's a shame you have't been able to get into Dev I know that he can be somewhat of an acquired taste, Elite did mention Ki and Terria in his posts like I was just writing about up there ^  maybe give those two a try if you want because they are both very good albums, I've found that it can take a while for Devin to click but once he does it's quite magical.

Well let's get this over with, it's been real yo . . . (Acting like a tough guy so I don't cry)    (being over dramatic . . . I think not)

Anyways all dramatics aside I'd like to say thank you to everyone who has followed the list and put up with whatever bad grammar or spelling that I've shat out upon the forum. Yes yes good I've finally used the term "Shat"

So anyways we've now come to the part of the post where I do stupid things and maybe even post some silly pictures to make you have to scroll down and see my numba one album yo.


































Haha if only.

















getting closer I think 












Ok no more nonsense.



My Number One Album Is . . .





















1. Dream Theater Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory (1999)


Hum a Dream Theater album holding the number one spot of someones top ten list on a Dream Theater forum . . . How undramatic, how cliche, how pretentious? With Metropolis Pt. 2 Dream Theater made a truly, truly remarkable album, they made one of the IMO greatest concept albums of all time and one of and my favorite Progressive Metal album. Everything was absoulutley right with this album, I'm talking about all things including line up and every other variable like that. I recall somebody making a rather funny thread about the dream theater timeline going backwards with When Dream And Day Unite being the newest release other then ADTOE. Well in that hypothetical thread somebody posted that fact that DT would have still had this line up regardless of any other variable with recording, and things like that. That was just a cute little aside but I thought I might add that.

Anyways this is another one of the "I'm sure everyone has heard this one at one time or another even if you don't listen to DT anymore" things so I guess I won't spend to much time on it. This album is put together masterfully, it flows wonderfully and provides the listener with seventy seven minutes and six seconds that they soon won't forget. I can't tell you how much time I've spent on this album, time spent either listening to the album or reading about the album, reading up on the concept and trying to understand the story more and where the band was at this point in time. In all that time I've spent, I don't regret a second of it. I still try and listen to this album at lest once every couple of months, but I remember a time when I listened to this once a month or sometimes more then that. With this album Dream Theater did something truly great and something that most other bands could never dream to do in a lifetime . . . I think highly off this album is what I'm trying to get across here. 


Favorite Tracks: Because of the concept and story, all of them.

Another exceptional selection and understandable from my point of view as to how you'd have it #1. It is a great album!

[Elite]

*pretentious

 

Nah, good choice I suppose. I didn't even have it in my top 50, but that's mainly because I had other stuff I like even more in mine. I can totally see why somebody would like it this much though, so this is a good #1 pick. Nice list, thanks, with some very good stuff on it

I'm sure I have no idea what your talking about.

Ok . . . I'll admit it I'm terrible at spelling, I should hire a proof reader, or you know not be lazy and do it my self.

[Scorpion]

This album is great, but not even among my Top 3 DT albums. However, I can totally understand how one might rank this album so high, even if I wouldn't do so myself.

Anyway, I've had a lot of fun reading your list - our tastes are surprisingly similar. 

[Nekov]

That is the right choice for number 1

[jingle.boy]

Made my top 50.  Absolutely nothing wrong with that landing in anyone's top spot.

[senecadawg2]

After what I consider to be a shaky top 10 (of course this is just my opinion), you have redeemed yourself. SFAM is a fail proof way to obtain all the ladies, and me.

[lonestar]

I'm cool with it, incredible album.

  I'm glad you approve.

In all seriousness thanks for reading senecadawg2

I'm cool with it, incredible album.

Thank you lonestar, and thanks for reading.

Trust me to go against the norm, but I actually thought this was a really excellent top 10 that was let down by a slightly dull #1.

[kirksnosehair]

Nice list, my friend.

Glad I could disappoint you Rich. 

Nice list, my friend.


 

Thank you Barry and thanks for reading.

Awesome number 1. Really, it's one of those few albums that deserves a high spot in any list.

[TAC]

I only have 2 of the Top 10! 
Guess which 2!
