You're right. It's my fault for even trying to express my feeling when I should have known from past experience that they won't be taken with at least a little bit of seriousness.
I will always love Dream Theater's music, and it will always be some of my favourite music ever. Even during times I haven't listened to much DT, any news about new albums has got me really excited with butterflies in the stomach. They are truly a magical band. We are all alone. We all experience music in our own unique way. So there's no way we can really understand what other people get out of music. It's a real shame I can't truly share my enthusiasm for something that brings me genuine joy in life (and joy is a rare thing in this world, let's be honest). It's a shame that a passage of music that for me brings me goosebumps or excites me, does absolutely nothing to the emotions of the next person. It's immensely frustrating. In my head I'm going "How the hell can you not hear the beauty of this?!", but to no avail.
So as I said, I love to engage with people who are excited and who love modern-day Dream Theater. But there are too few of those people around here. Maybe they too are repelled by the negativity around what is to me some of the best and most heartwarming and memorable music DT has ever made.
