One of them says he skips “regression” when he listens  to SFAM. “It’s cheesy”

Cheesy? No. Skipping it? Well I could understand someone just wanting to get on with the guts of the music. There's many intros that I blow right past. Personally, I love Regression.

Anyway, I skip all of SFAM. I always go for Live Scenes.  ;D
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

And they said  “finally free” is horrible. I can’t take that seriously. One of them hates “dance of eternity”

Finally listened to those two podcasts where they talk about the band's history. It was a fun listen. I like how one of them left a New Year's Eve party for two hours to drive around and listen to Scenes ha ha  ;D

I was a little surprised they didn't talk about LaBrie's vocal issues and still think he's a phenomenal singer live.

Herrick agrees about the memoralbility of Ruddess' solos and Mangini's drumming.

One of the podcasters only listened to The Astonishing 3 days before that podcast and already made a decision about how bad the album was...then bought it? I'm not into the album either but I think it's an album that needs to be explored a bit more before passing final judgement.

On another note, it's a little odd that they kept buying DT albums on day 1 when they thought the last few albums were terrible or meh. Hell, The Astonishing is the reason why I won't buy the next DT album before hearing it. But these are all just opinions and all in good fun  :tup I'll be checking out their other DT podcasts.

Edit: Oh and Dream Theater with Russel Allen would not sound like Symphony X LoL. What was that all about?

Hi all, James here (from this very podcast!)

I just thought I would jump in here and say we super appreciate everyone taking their time to check out our little podcast here...it's been about a year and we have learned a lot doing it...it has been the very definition of a 'labor of love'.

It's hard to sum up a lifetime of thoughts and opinions on these topics into an hour or two and to be honest, I often find myself wanting to interject with myself when I listen back!  And inevitably there are things we forget to say or things we MIS-say.

That being said, however it comes across I want everyone to know that we love DT (and everything else we discuss) and I hope, above all else, the podcast reflects how passionate we are about the music these guys have created.

Cheers!

One man's cheese is another man's chedder ;)

I've built up such a like for DT and their performances that yes, I for one will continue to listen and buy. Sometimes I may not enjoy how the tunes ended up but, performance is performance ya know?

If all I did was listen to music I enjoyed, I wouldn't be able to do a podcast like this.

The thing that I love the most, is that someone listens and feels the need to discuss it, be it with praise or critique. And I have to say I'm pretty touched that you are discussing it like this.

It's hard to get into the discussion and not let it get away from me though, I mean when doing the cast. Sometimes, the entitled fan creeps through. Either way, to repeat, I am touched with the listens and the conversation. Thank you all so much. Easily DT has the best fan base and it means a lot.

We're going to start a weekly cast on the new Trek show, and, well, that fan base makes me a little nervous.

I didn't know they made a new show. I'm way behind. I haven't even seen Deep Space 9 yet.

Star Trek discovery.

If you like JJ trek and like the political / war side of DS9 you'll probably like it.

the catch?

you have to pay 5 bucks a month for CBS all access.

Ill be honest when looking over their shows it's not particularly a bad deal

By the time I get around to watching it, it'll be out on DVD so I'll just rent it then. Hell there will probably be a bunch of seasons out by then if the show is successful.

Just finished listening to the 2 parts and all I can say, being a thirty-something as well, and having grown up with their lyrics, I so fucking agree with the 2 of them as to what they became after Octavarium, specially when it comes to fantasy lyrics.

I listened. While I agree with both of you about the epic status and quality of this album, I'm pretty sure I arrived via a different path.  :lol

Different journeys for everyone.
