Yeah, I have no idea what the cakeless person in that analogy is meant to be eating. If he's got some sort of cake substitute, it should really have been worked into the narrative at some point. As it stands, the options are:Hoard a cake just to stare blankly into its doughy edifice.Make futile chewing motions with your mouth while starving to death.

They can't keep accelerating his waning vocal strength. This I & W tour is probably exceedingly stressful (vocal-wise) for him.Adapting the songs to his darker voice at the second leg of the tour helped a lot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kaw_9rel1nAIf they write melody lines that really fit his voice for the next album there won't be problems with JLBs vocal strength imo.

Heavy is fine, but I hope this is a friendlier album for JLB.
Quote from: Prog Snob on June 02, 2017, 06:09:03 AMI'm hoping for something with the heaviness and darkness of Awake. The mood on that album makes it something unique from anything else they've ever done except maybe Train of Thought.The mood on Awake makes it unique and still sounds amazing! I think one of the main reasons was Kevin's more atmospheric/dark approach to keyboards on that album.

I know it's ludicrous and heresy, but I would love a one-song collaboration with KM.
It sounds like, "ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk." Instead of the more pleasing kick drum sound of, "gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk."
Jordan took Moore's boring, pedestrian parts and elevated them considerably to take them from barely palatable to stellar.
Ariich is a freak, or somehow has more hours in the day than everyone else.
I be am boner inducing.
But Kotow is right .
I know i'm not alone in not wanting MP anywhere near DT for the remainder of their career.
SeRoX is right!
SeRoX is DTF's JLB!
As usual, SeRoX is correct.
I feel deep down inside of you, you know KM is the best lyricist of DT and want him back somehow (maybe not a player but like a composer)

But as for me, no, I would not by any stretch agree that he was the best lyricist. Not at all.
Only King could mis-spell a LETTER.
Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

But as for me, no, I would not by any stretch agree that he was the best lyricist. Not at all.Neither would I. I actually found him very hit and miss, and the hits don't make up for the misses.
Not even with comparing the two..Just - if MP was "allowed" to collaborate with DT again - even if it was just a song - you know he'd be all over social media like " back where I belong ! " and all this... And his fanboys being all " welcome back MP ! ".
I like JR's lyrics best.
He is an eccentric individual. I can imagine his lyrics being exceedingly obscure. I wonder if he actually does write at all or journal or something.
I wouldn't want somebody with 18 kids to mow my damn lawn, based on a longstanding bias I have against crazy fucks.
... I'm so fuckin ready for JP to stop producing and I so fuckin ready for him to ask the others to contribute more to the arrangements of songs and the construct of the album instead of just getting musical bits and pieces of ideas from them in jam sessions.I think JP's creative vision needs a long recharging break, an album cycle would probably do just fine.
I still wish on all the unicorns and four-leaf clovers in the world that Steven Wilson produces one of their albums.
I just don't see the SW thing happening at all, for what I know, they guy isn't that easy to work with, and he doesn't even like DT. Sounds impossible to me.

Sounds impossible to me.Maybe, maybe not...Steven might force Petrucci to write a sequel to the Astonishing where Nafaryus laments the death of Faythe, in a real world alternate universe where magic doesn't exist, meaning that Gabriel wasn't capable of saving her. Gabriel is revealed to be a replicant of sorts and goes through an existential of what it means to be human and Arabelle breaks up with Nafaryus, causing further depression. Also the Nomacs kill everyone at the end...
