Yeah, but then you'll have to go and make an even more perfect album, or your opinion will be invalid.

I'm confirmed about weaknesses of DT12.  Guess I'd better go make a perfect album...
How about a collaboration? I need to make a perfect album too.

Cool.  Think you could handle, like, everything?  I have no musical skill whatsoever.

What the hell is that  :rollin

You should really travel to Hoogeveen, Holland, close to where my parents live. There's a small venue here (max 100-200 people) that hosts Metal Nights once a month. You'll probably get everyone headbanging anyway :P

That's my band. You haven't heard of us? We're the #1 Plague Metal band of all time!

But really, that particular mix is beyond terrible, and believe it of not, it can sound better.

2. If you don't like the album why you're still a DT fan.
3. If you're confirmed about weaknesses of DT12 then why don't you make a perfect album.
4. All hater's should make a album which can amaze DT members and  they become your fan.
5. If you think DT lineup is not good why don't you guys make a perfect band.
6. I love DT, i love their decisions, i love current lineup and i know they're perfect.
7. If they're that bad then start listening to A7X, 1D or bieber.  :xbones

I don't know why am I still a DT fan. I am confirmed about weakness, but can I not make perfect album. I guess I guys must make perfect band. Back to 1D and Bieber for me.

It is possible to still like DT even though you dislike an album. So DT12 isn't an album I like. It's not a big deal. It's not like I've sworn off the band and condemned them. They have already proven themselves to me. I respect their decisions even if they don't cater to me personally. They are still a great band.

In all seriousness, I do like DT12.  It still hasn't quite clicked with me in the way that DT's other albums have, and nothing on it really blows me away, but it's consistently very good.

I have no idea why you have to defend DT12 so much Haceeb. It's great that you love it, as it means that DT still has the ability to impress some fans.

But for some people it's just not their cup of tea or they might just not like the songwriting. It doesn't mean because they don't like the latest album they have to stop listening to DT or create their own perfect album or anything.

Do the people there care much about playing ability, 'cause.... We have none.


back to Dream Theater and this:

1. It's my favorite DT and also my album of 2013.
2. If you don't like the album why you're still a DT fan.
3. If you're confirmed about weaknesses of DT12 then why don't you make a perfect album.
4. All hater's should make a album which can amaze DT members and  they become your fan.

7. If they're that bad then start listening to A7X, 1D or bieber.  :xbones
8. DTvarium till death!

Assuming you aren't trolling:

1. That's great.
2. Huh? people can dislike the new album but still love their back catalog.
3. This is a retarded YouTube style comment. A person doesn't have to be an expert guitar player to critique an expert's guitar playing.
4. Same as above, and really, this doesn't make sense.
5. I have. KrotchRaut anyone?
6. That's great.
7. A7X, 1D and Bieber walk into a bar...
8. Enter the brutal KrotchRaut!

i agree it's not their cup of tea but you can't deny Prog Mag rating and it isn't even included in Eddie Trunks list so now you know where the hate is coming from. Also consider two grammy nominations.

So, it got a good rating in a magazine and a Grammy nomination, plus Eddie Trunk didn't mention it, therefore it's perfect?

I've said before I don't like it... But does that mean I'm not a DT fan? No, let's be serious, do you love WDADU?

Also if ratings and Grammys meant anything nicki Minaj and beiber would be the best musicians in the world....

I don't see how that post is very different from something you'd see any given Bieber fan post in response to criticism. Just because someone doesn't like every single second of music a band has produced doesn't mean that person isn't a huge fan and doesn't appreciate their music. You can't just assume everything DT has made is flawless because DT made it. Bliiiiind faith, we have in you...
