Wasn't there a thread not too long ago where we ranked DT's "epics" or voted for our favorites?

If there was, I'm sure you'd be able to find it. 

ACOS = IT = SDOIT

Hey, is that supposed to be a shit sandwich (hold the sh), or are you just fuckin' with us?

Ranking the epics: ACOS> Illumination Theory > Octavarium > Six Degrees >>>>>>>>>>>>>ITPOE

I genuinely don't get the love for A Change Of Seasons... and I've listened to it like 3 times.

1. Octavarium
2. Six Degrees
3. Illumination Theory ( Although I prefer The Count of Tuscany if we're counting it )
4. In The Presence Of Enemies
5. A Change Of Seasons.

[TheCountOfNYC]

Octavarium
The Count of Tuscany
A Change of Seasons

Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence

In the Presence of Enemies
Illumination Theory

[Adami]

Ya'll are nuts.

The answer is obviously...

1) A Change of Seasons
2) 8VM
3) Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence
4) Illumination Theory
5) In the Presence of Enemies
6) The Count of Tuscany

I was honestly with you until point five

I just really don't like The Count of Tuscany minus a minute or two here and there. I'm not super fond of either of the last two songs, but Enemies just has more moments I enjoy.

I feel the same way about IT.  As far as I'm concerned, IT may as well not even exist. 

[hefdaddy42]

I don't even count TCOT as one of the epics.  For me, it's just a long song, like ITNOG or TMOLS.

This would be a great time for DT to release some Official Bootlegs. I miss them so much and the fact that live concerts are a year away or two makes more sense to release some (as well as the London show that was filmed earlier this year).

yes please!

I'd love it if they remotely recorded and released a short EP with 3 or 4 songs (depending on their length) from unused ideas or whatever they already have lying around this year. Write some lyrics about the current status of the world and you have a wonderful EP while we wait for the next album/tour cycle.

[Cool Chris]

Nothing controversial about the last 5 posts.

[Kotowboy]

It really irks me the different ways people abbreviate Octavarium.

[faizoff]

I get the feeling only MP was very keen on releasing those official bootleg shows. I think the others esp JP only want to release live material that is shot and edited professionally. That's the impression I alwyas had.

[TAC]

It really irks me the different ways people abbreviate Octavarium.

How would you abbreviate it?

[hefdaddy42]

I use 8VM.

[gzarruk]

I use 8VM.

Or OVM.

[TAC]

I use 8VM.

I use 8V.

[pg1067]

I've seen 8V, 8VA and 8VM.

8VA is how octave is represented in musical notation (and 8V is also sometimes used), so it's not really a good candidate.  8VM is a good choice, but it's a bit of a "whatever" thing.

[Dublagent66]

I use 8VM.

[King Postwhore]

I'm not a sissy and type it fully out.


It may be spelled incorrectly but you get the gist.

"I really like 0ctovarietyum."

Exactly!

New OctavarYUMs cereal from Kellogg's is packed with 8 vitamins and 5 minerals and TONS of hidden nuggets!!!

Too bad I have no photoshipping skills at all.

OCT..

But I prefer to type Octavarium as it takes like one point five seconds.

[Kotowboy]

8VRM is a weird one as you could literally take one more second to type out the whole word.

[gzarruk]

What about Awake?

[Kotowboy]

A


Nah seriously I type Awake.

[LCArenas]

Whenever I see WDADU I mentally pronounce it as "Wuh-dah-doo". Is that controversial? Is that even an opinion?

[Kotowboy]

Six Doit.

S-Fam sounds like some vapid Instagram Famous Celeb.
