@Parama: Ah, that makes sense. TROAE is an extremely good song. Top 3, with Sacrificed Sons and 8vm. I'm guessing you would rate 8vm second and Sacrificed sons....3rd maybe?
Some DT opinions/facts that I highly disagree with or completely disagree with:
1) "Oh my gosh, Dream Theater is not progressive rock/metal. They are thrash metal."
My response: Dude...do you even know what thrash metal is? Thrash metal bands are Slayer, Anthrax, Metallica, Megadeth, among others."
2)"James Labrie sings so bad because he takes drugs and all those stuff! He smokes also, that's why he sucks!"
My response: ................... You know what? I'm not going to even respond to that, except these two words: Food Poisoning.
3)"FII is THE worst Dream Theater albums ever! Their attempt to go mainstream are just horrendous."
My response:I wouldn't say it is THE worst. I prefer this over WDADU and ADTOE.
4)"James Labrie is killing Dream Theater."
My response:My same two words: Food Poisoning. I don't care if it isn't grating like some other singers, but Labrie fits with his vocal range. His voice is full of emotion and his pitch range is just amazing.
5)"Mike Portnoy is really impatient. He always has to come in as soon as possible and he can't even wait."
My response:I don't he is that impatient because in some songs, he waits perfectly fine: 8vm, Surrounded, The Answer Lies Within, etc.
6)"Jordan Rudess is all speed and no emotion. Why is he so technical? At least Moore and Sherinian had some melodies."
My response:Have you checked out the songs Disappear, TCoT, TBoT, Wither, A Rite of Passage, heck the list could go on forever.
