ADToE>8vm, 6DOIT, ToT, SC, BC&SL

Yes, no, no, yes, yes. 

[Mindflux]

ADToE>8vm, 6DOIT, ToT, SC, BC&SL

Yes, no, no, yes, yes.

ADTOE < Everything other than WDADU

[BlobVanDam]

Here's a new one.

The Silent Man is the best song off Awake.

It's definitely one of my favourites off the album, so I'm ok with this.

ADToE>8vm, 6DOIT, ToT, SC, BC&SL

Yes, no, no, yes, yes.

ADTOE < Everything other than WDADU

Well at least we can agree on something today.

[Mindflux]

Word.

ADToE>8vm, 6DOIT, ToT, SC, BC&SL

I made a mistake. I posted this in an opinions thread when it is clearly fact. Sorry for the confusion.

ADToE>8vm, 6DOIT, ToT, SC, BC&SL

Yes, no, no, yes, yes.

ADTOE < Everything other than WDADU

You like Awake more than WDADU (not baiting, genuinely curious)?

[Cedar redaC]

ADToE>8vm, 6DOIT, ToT, SC, BC&SL

I might put 6 Degrees on the same level as A Dramatic Turn of Events, otherwise, yeah.

[Jaffa]

I probably shouldn't speak for Blob, but yes, I'm pretty sure he likes Awake better than WDADU.   

[Scorpion]

Derp. I meant ADTOE.

So Blob, do you like Awake more than ADTOE?

[Rattlehead]

ADTOE < Everything other than WDADU, FII and 8vm

FTFM

[Pols Voice]

ADToE>8vm, 6DOIT, ToT, SC, BC&SL

Yup. It's better than WDADU too.

[BlobVanDam]

Derp. I meant ADTOE.

So Blob, do you like Awake more than ADTOE?

They're actually both at the bottom for me, so that's a toughy. As an album ADTOE is more consistent, but up until Lie, Awake is a very good album.
I guess if I had to choose, I'd go with Awake, but lop off everything from Lie onwards.

Wow...so Lifting Shadows doesn't do anything for you?

I don't hate it, but "does nothing for me" would be an accurate description.

[Zook]

It's not cheesy and 80s enough.

[BlobVanDam]

Yes, because every other DT song I listen to is cheesy and 80s. 

[Zook]

Go to bed, Blob.

For me, if they had started the CD at Innocence Faded I'd be perfectly content.  Not that 6:00 and CiaW are horrible songs, but I don't always look forward to hearing them live.

[wasteland]

I used to think the same way, but then I heard 6:00 live... 

[JayOctavarium]

I used to think the same way, but then I heard 6:00 live... 

I used to be indifferent towards 6:00. That was until I hear it live

[Cedar redaC]

I saw it live before I heard the studio version. I think that both are awesome!

[JayOctavarium]

I saw it live before I heard the studio version. I think that both are awesome!

how is that possible?

[Scorpion]

YouTube video, perhaps?

Anyway, my opinions on Awake form a sort-of reverse-Blob: if the first three tracks were cut, the album would be then best DT disc by a long shot. Not that they are bad, and Awake is still my third favourite DT album, but the other tracks are really, really awesome and on a whole different level.

Maybe he hadn't gotten into their full discography yet, but he enough of a fan to wish to check them out live already. I think he will tell us the truth quite soon

Yeah, I think this is the case. I might remember wrong, but hasn't he not heard Scenes in full yet (or maybe I'm thinking of someone else)?

Yes, he is still a pretty new DT fan... and we already corrupted him! 

[Cedar redaC]

Ok everyone, here's the story: I got into Dream Theater in the fall of 2011, around the time of the release of A Dramatic Turn of Events. I really got into their music and wanted to see them live. At this time, I only had A Dramatic Turn of Events and Images and Words on CD. When I saw them live, they played 6:00 after Bridges in the Sky (this was the North American Summer 2012 leg of the tour) and I knew that I had to have it on CD. Pretty soon I had bought Awake, Six Degrees, and Octavarium.

I have heard Scenes on Grooveshark, but I haven't got the album on CD yet.

I would buy more of their stuff, but I've been discovering so much great music lately that I haven't been able to focus on completing any discographies yet.

[JayOctavarium]

It's all good

[Lucidity]

Here's one: Octavarium is a fantastic album, and is better than Awake.

[Meatrose]

How about this: Pull Me Under is by far the weakest track on Images And Words.

[Lucidity]

How about this: Pull Me Under is by far the weakest track on Images And Words.

I think that's generally agreed on

[TheLordOfTheStrings]

I've got one. I really don't know why everyone freaks out about JMX writing lyrics. I don't think they're that great. Other than BAI, which I really like.. but then again, JP helped with that one, so who knows what JMX actually wrote. But I really don't see what the deal is with songs like Lifting Shadows.

That being said, I absolutely love JMX and I think he is absolutely incredible.

Trial of Tears would like to have with you.

Have what with him?
