Dream Theater self titled album discussion - [SPOILER FREE DISCUSSION ONLY]

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

NO! LIES!

[Joshin U]

UHMM they released cover and tracklist + epizode 2 ( sing something???!  ) and now?.. Now is dead silence? What a hell?   

Something big is coming !!!

Yes, something big is coming. An album 

It's only been "dead silence" for less than a week.

I really don't know why that section is so controversial. It's just another cool little DT instrumental section. I don't why it's enough to make people feel that strongly. Each to their own, of course!

Moments like the tickle section (and it's ilk) are one of the major reasons I listen to Dream Theater at all. If I didn't like things like that, I'd listen to other bands.

Exactly!

I have to agree and say the "tickle" section within LNF is pretty much awesome. Seeing them play it live during the US tour for ADTOE...? Mind. Blown.

Hoping they release a single before they hit the summer tour circuit.

Lost Not Forgotten - My least favorite part of Lost Not Forgotten is most of the lyrics.

Newbs - I just turned 2 here on DTF, I'm still just a baby, but like to think that I've been here "a while" now.

New DT album - I had a dream I heard one of the songs, it was the most perfect sounding guitar I have ever heard.

[rumborak]

Hoping they release a single before they hit the summer tour circuit.

You'd think so. The opportunity to see new material live, even if it's just one new song, should increase the draw.

[chrisbDTM]

these threads kinda suck between details and reveals. but i cant stop checking just in case

Did I miss something? I thought it's been established they're not going out on tour until 2014, and by then the album will have been out for some time. No need to release a single just so they can perform it live as they've done on previous cycles.

[rumborak]

I was talking about DT touring in my head. Sorry, should have been more specific. I hope they release a single before they start touring in my mind again.

If only JM stopped blabbering during songs on those tours.

[matte.braso]

currently in progarchives.com DT12 has been ranked #1 in terms of average user ratings (I wonder who has already listened to it )

[Lucien]

Only four people.

Can anyone rate it? How can we be sure the ratings are actually from people who have heard the album?

Jesus Christ, DTF:

1)  "Prog" is nothing other than "progressive" without the last couple syllables.  There's no reason to get upset when people say DT is a progressive band, because they are a progressive band.  That's the name of the genre.  Whether you think DT has pushed the boundaries of music is another matter.  This conversation makes about as much sense as it would to talk about whether Zep was technically a "rock" band since the band members are carbon-based life forms rather than rocks.

2)  No, DT are not jazz musicians.  Go listen to some Weather Report and check back in if you think SFAM has jazz sections.

3)  The tickle section kicks ass.

Okay, I think I'm up to speed.  How about that new Dream Theater album?

Son, I am disappoint.

[chrisbDTM]

the tickle section rules. and its short. really a petty complaint in the end if you don't like it

What? One song I love the theme and lyrics!

Well! Not especially. It's a bit more like debating whether Zep were necessarily rock and roll cos the name of the genre "hard rock" derives from rock and roll. It's about semantics-then and semantics-now, and in this case, it's about the mutation of what was an adjective in the seventies into what's become a noun - and the curious position we're left in where the noun hasn't necessarily rendered the adjective redundant, it's just pushed its meaning (rather than its definition) a few metres to the left.

But frankly, having forged a new subgenre almost single-handedly, it's hard not to grant DT both variants of the phrase "progressive rock." That's... not a boast many bands get to make, and sticking to a signature style twenty-five years on doesn't diminish the fact that they were the ones that defined a minor subculture.

we don't, but the site is quite serious about the prog topic, I don't think it's a joke, but it might be...

Here in Spain, there is a famous musical journalist called "Tío Emilio" who likes to discuss music with fans in a forum, and he just received... Well...:

Radiohead...?


RADIOHEAD?


RADIOHEAD??!!

Is Radiohead even kind of considered progressive around here?
