:lol It really does seem like I'm the only person who doesn't think SA is amazing. I mean, it's not bad or anything, it's always just struck me as a really bog standard solo guitar album. Never understood the obsession over it.

I felt the same on first listen, but after a few listens I really loved it. At first it feels a bit empty compared to LTE with the lack of keys, but now that doesn't bother me at all.
It's not just the lack of keys, it's the lack of variety of ideas for me.

Well I initially thought the lack of keys gave it a lack of variety, so that's why I mentioned it. Personally I think it has plenty of variety though, with his soloing showing more styles than he is able to showcase within DT. And I must admit, I am a huge sucker for JP's rock playing, and there is a lot of it on the album. Wishful Thinking - 6:37 = yummy.

Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

Gahh. TG. Was going to ask him about this at his Sydney clinic but the line was too fast and I was too n00bish and afraid to ask him so instead chatted for 5 seconds about his beard's volume reduction  :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm:

Can't wait for it.

YES YES YES YES.

I would have given up new LaBrie, Jelly Jam, and Rudess all for a new JP CD without question. Now I can has them all. :D
So everyone's got their side-projects going. Weren't most the first side projects right before Scenes From A Memory?

So we're getting a new JP solo album, a new JLB solo album, and possibly a Jelly Jam album. 2010 is going to be a good year for music.

Opeth doesn't write good songs, but I like Akerfelt as a vocalist and a guitarist.

I'm not a huge Porcupine Tree fan, but Fear of a Blank Planet is a really good album, and I think Steven Wilson is capable of writing great music.

Agreed. Suspended Animation is solid enough, but it doesn't do a lot for me. I'm still looking forward to what JP does with this one, though.

I really hope he calls it "Welcome Back, Guitar N00bs".

This, most definitely this.

The great thing about SA is that, with the lack of keys, JP can start layering out the wazoo. At times there are six or more guitars going on at once! He can't do this with DT - it would just get too busy/muddy and impossible to reproduce live.

The instrumental stuff in LTE is so awesome, though, that JR and JP taking turns soloing in DT really pales in comparison IMO.

Yeah most of the time it does.  There are some compositional elements or something present in LTE that are largely absent from DT's music, and I think it goes beyond just "LTE is purely instrument-driven".  I've often wondered what is behind some of those differences; I mean a lot of LTE still falls within the realm of "progressive rock/metal", even if it doesn't sound like DT minus LaBrie.

Other acceptable album titles would be:

"Pedalboard of Death"
"So Many Memories of Death"
"I Don't Care Yngwie, Shut Up"
"Yes, I am Your God"
"World Domination Mode"
"Killzone Mode"

The first one was a collection of re-hashed riffs from various tours thrown together to make "songs".....it was pretty much fanboy fodder..with some exciting solos thrown in so people didn't feel completly ripped off.

As much as I really do love SA, I agree with this. Here's to hoping a hefty amount of new ground is touched upon.

Ditto. If it's even better than SA, it might well become the standard background music for sperm banks.
