Train of Thought is great and Distance Over Time was a great comeback after The Appalling, I mean The Astonishing. 

The new one is good, but I didn't get back to it after listening to it a few times. Gotta find some time and mood for it.

One of my very favourite bands, and one of very few that I own every album by.

I voted for I&W (one of my favourite albums of all time), Metropolis Pt 2 and BCASL. The latter has two of my favourite epics (TBOT and TCOT).

Extremely honourable mentions to WDADU, Octavarium and 6 Degrees. And more love for ACOS here too!

Awake, Systematic Chaos and The Astonishing are the 3 weaker albums for me….

I was just going to post the top two only but had to mention this EP that really was the first Prog Metal album I ever heard. The title track blew me away but there was some pretty cool covers on there as well. These guys can play! A guy I work with has had James LaBrie sign some stuff, they live in the same town about 40 minutes from where I live. Kevin LaBrie is his real name and what those who grew up with him still call him.

Nice to see some love for Change of Seasons! The title track is still my favorite DT song of all time, and I've always been a big fan of the closing medley as well. Though to be honest, I've always been a bit surprised at some of the song selections... in the sense that I expected more proggy Kansas, Journey, or Genesis songs for them to cover LOL Well, still cool nonetheless

Rudess is awesome, Thumbs Up Moore quit the band and want's nothing to do with DT. He was asked several times to do some special appearance gigs, yet refused. Mangini is a killer drummer, but I prefer the music made with Portnoy. Wink Don't be such a hater. Music and life move on.

Thumbs Up
Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

So far I'm the only one to vote for anything with Mangini on it!

Two Mangini releases are in my DT top five, so I’m with you. I still haven’t heard the latest album, but it seems to get near universally good reviews, so I’m hoping to enjoy it when I finally get around to it.


For me, A View is a big grower. The first time I heard it I was very underwhelmed, especially after all the immediacy of DoT. However, every time I play it back I get sucked into a section I hadn't considered previously, and the production just keeps getting better and better. Mangini's best performance and best sounding drums to date.

I haven't listened to every album by this band, but of those I have, Six Degrees, Systematic Chaos, and Octavarium are my favorites. Falling Into Infinity would be my fourth choice.
