It's easily one of JLB's best albums vocally, if not the best.
Callow and vain, I rest my case.

Not only is it JLB's best album, also JP had his best guitar tone ever on Awake.

I agree about JLB, but I like the guitar sound on BC&SL the most. It's the best aspect about that album actually  :metal

I agree.
Quote from: BlobVanDam on December 11, 2014, 08:19:46 PMHef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

JP's tone is still pretty damn good, but it has never been as good since switching away from the Ibanez.

I agree that it has his best guitar tone. If only the actual mixing job was better, ie. drums were a little bit quieter and bass is more clear.

And a little bit less reverb on the whole damn thing.

I have difficulty determining which of JP's guitar tones is "best." They've always been good.

El Barto

Just popping in to say I agree with Kev. SFaM and 6° both come close, but I still prefer Awake.

Carry on.

This pic makes me want to listen to Awake, among other things.

I think I'd probably put it in their top 5 but not their best by a long shot.

Must be shooped... everyone knows that girls  really don't like Dream Theater

Also, Japan.

Actually, she didn't really like Dream Theater. But she had some pen and paper, so what the fuck.

She can get caught in my web anytime :zydar:
I wouldn't mind if I got a chance to be lifting shadows off a dream with her until 6:00 in the morning :zydarscouch:

I knew someone would say that, but I was actually referencing when MP said during the LaB documentary that in Japan, most of their fans are girls. :lol

This is my listening experience of Awake from start to finish, represented in graph form.


It would be a pretty good album if you lopped off the half hour of waste at the end.
Quote from: MoraWintersoul on March 11, 2013, 09:47:28 AM
This graph is the best thing I've ever thoroughly disagreed with.
My latest concept album "IV: Timber" IS OUT NOW!

Third best DT album:

1) I&W.
2) SFAM.
3) Awake.
4) SDOIT.
5) FII (incredibly underrated).

Oh dear... Not only did she get the wrong font TATTOOED on her, but it was the wrong font with the lower cased R!

If you even noticed she was wearing a DT shirt, I've got some bad news for you....

Zook

Her boyfriend probably bought it for her, and she only wears it so his feelings wont be hurt.

Sure why not? The logo is right beneath where I was looking. My peripheral vision is not impaired.

Speaking of beneath... I wouldn't mind having a peek beneath the surface of that T-Shirt!

No... Okay, that's a lie.

Or "Exhibit A," as I like to call it.

Okay, now you're falling into infinity. We could be following this train of thought until dream and day unite. So let's just stop with all these images and words and remember the album we're supposed to be discussing.
