What your favorite DT album says about you
« on: February 09, 2018, 09:57:45 PM »
I kept seeing these for video games recently and thought it would be fun to make one of my own.
This is absolutely not meant to be taken seriously.

In all seriousness, my favourite album, Images and Words, sorts of describes my fear of time flowing away. And I usually become more philosophical when I listen to it.

Well, I'm a big fan of heavy music who is over 40 and if I do not post on DTF every day, I really do NOT miss MP.

What's so confusing?  :huh: I know a couple of people for which this is true, and they can't stand any other DT album besides TA

Jordan took Moore's boring, pedestrian parts and elevated them considerably to take them from barely palatable to stellar.

I think it says more about the one who came up with it than the one who likes the album. I would rather say:

You like and have probably seen at least one Opera or Musical

I'm not yet 40, but I do spend a lot of time on these forums, and about not having controversial opinions... I mean... would you categorize like that people who enjoy Van Gogh's Starry Night, Beethoven's Ode to Joy or Star Wars? there's a reason why everyone love that stuff, they're actually that good.

(I picked some examples off the top of my head but you get my point)

So, it came to be that I'm after my 40's ;) and posting on dtforums each day. I'm also a big fan of heavy metal music and Mike Portnoy. Almost everything is true, only age does not seems right, but I'm close to that ;)

I do not like Evanescence! 

And while I do like The Dark Eternal Night, I think those lyrics are kinda border line as far as cheese goes but I do like almost all the other lyrics on SC. 

I also do not miss Portnoy sooo....this list is pretty accurate.

So, basically, I have uncontroversial opinions, really like experimental music, know every single Disney song and don't miss Portnoy at all? I got 3/4, so it's very accurate ;)

It sounds like, "ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk." Instead of the more pleasing kick drum sound of, "gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk."

What witchcraft is this?! :omg: That is scarily accurate, didn't even realize!

I do like some experimental music, but I'm nowhere near 40. ;D

I guess I know the lyrics to every Disney song by heart, have uncontroversial opinions, love hidden details and am willing to forgive subpar songs for really great ones, like experimental music, and don't miss Mike Portnoy. Let's go in order:

1) Okay, so first of all: Disney has 200 songs so you really just learn the highlights if you want to preserve your sanity. Secondly: have you actually listened to Disney songs? Like...really listened? The lyric writing is amazing (there's a reason why Tim Rice and Howard Ashman are frequently cited as among the best lyricists ever), the songs are BEYOND catchy, and there's a lot of really intricate stuff going on in the accompaniments (which are usually very dense orchestrations). They sound pretty much exactly what the lovebaby of Broadway Showtunes and Film Music would sound like. I honestly just don't understand why metalheads throw around comparisons to Disney like it's an insult. And finally, guilty as freakin' charged.

2) The Astonishing is my favorite Dream Theater album.

3) No argument there.

4) Depends on what kind of experimental we're talking about. I can eat up some Close to the Edge, Kate Bush, SDoIT, or Aphex Twin's saner stuff but I'll take a hard pass on a lot of what is considered experimental. Like modern classical. Or most Radiohead. So...maybe?

5) Yeah, I don't care. Good music is good music, no matter who the drummer is.

Also, Evanescence's "Fallen" is a good album and I don't care what anyone says. Fight me. (their other albums are really mediocre though, so fair enough)

Not to goo too off topic, but Nightwish could have written Let it Go, or some Nightwish song could be Disney-ized with minor changes.  Sometimes the two worlds aren't as apart as they seem.

tbf, Tuomas Halo...Hali...Holo...Jalapeno has cited Disney music as one of his biggest influences. Heck, he wrote Fantasmic as basically a love letter to Disney movies/music.

I don't like Evanesence, though I think the singer is cute.

I'm usually too busy listening to the instruments to worry about the Dark Eternal Night lyrics.   ;D ;D

Nowadays, I'm really enjoying Awake and DT12 as my favorites nowadays.

That means, I post on DTF almost every day and am young and like concise tightly-written songs.  Yep, makes a lot of sense to me.

Regarding TA being compared to Disney, I do enjoy a fair amount of Disney songs. You'll Be in My Heart, I'm Still Here (Jim's Theme) are my favorites and I enjoy the Circle of Life (the intro is hard to not sing out loud).

My favorite is I&W and I am 30 so... what evs. Its just a damn good album.

But if it wasn't for that album, then my favorite would easily be Train of thought. Its an album that gets right in your face and doesn't take any shit. And I can respect that. And its an album that helped me through some very difficult shit in my younger years and for that I will be forever grateful.

I'm amazed at how opposite your two favorite DT albums are :lol
