Six degrees of Inner Turbulence

I was somewhat disappointed when this came out and especially with disc 2. I think the reason for this was that I had heard samples of a couple of songs, and I think they were 'The Glass Prison' and 'Test that stumped them all' and I expected the album to be mostly like those songs. I don't own it currently but I'll probably give it another shot as it doesn't seem that bad to me now, but at the time I was not impressed with it.

This is one of DT's goodies... Excellent choice you got there!

I hate agressive and heavy  and its really only the glass prison that is agressive and heavy

Six Degrees is the DT album I listen to the most... but it still doesn't get a lot of playing time.

I've never really "kicked" on DT, they're too obsessed with technique and not paying enough attention to content, imo. It gets boring quite quickly, none of their songs are really memorable in the same way as, say, CTTE, Echoes, 21st Schizoid, Thick As A Brick etc. And James La Brie has never sounded better than he did on the latest Ayreon album...

My favourite DT RECORD NOT ONE WEAK SONG!

Ivan:

read how many reviews there are giving images and words or scenes from a memory 4 or 5 stars.

If 90%/the majority of people on the site hate dream theater as you say then why would they recieve so many positive reviews? SFAM is one of the most reviewed and highest rated albums on the site.

DREAM THEATER Scenes From A Memory Metropolis Part II ratings (144 entries)

Essential: a masterpiece of progressive music (72%) Excellent addition to any prog music collection (12%) Good, but non-essential (3%) Collectors/fans only (6%) Poor. Only for completionists (7%) also: if you do see lots of dream theater threads it is much easier NOT TO READ THEM than to rant on them. It is hypocrytical that you delibrately seeked out this thread about dream theater to rant your views when it would have been a lot easier just to ignore the thread. Saying this, i do not wish to offend you or stop your from posting your thoughts as i find your points very interesting to read but you have made this thread go off topic from the album it is intended to be about (granted, i am probably also being a hypocrit by ranting and being off topic). I think that this forum works best by us all working as a team and you are disrespecting Dream Theater fans right to discuss the band. I think that people should be allowed to discuss a band as much as they like (whether DT or ELP) as long as they are not repeating other peoples threads.

I voted no myself for example, but I absolutely love DT, I cant wait for the next album(well I can , I have to anyway) I just dont think theyll be the greatest Prog band ever!!!! My sentiments exactly.

Read the posts written in that thread, those are the voters.

For example. read the posts on that thread by: Popesta, Bluetailfly, Dreamer, Certified, Easy Living, Tuxon, Radioactive toy, Shatterwolf, Peter, Danbo, Man with Hat, Reed Lover, Richardh, Lunarscape, Chorus of One, Fuzzy Dude, Jim Garten, Joren, Bumheed7, NetsNJFan, Miaugion, Crimson Prince and Synthguy only in the two first pages out of seven in that thread.

23 members opinions against DT in different degrees just in two out of seven pages.
