DT has two great albums, I&W and SFAM, and maybe disc one of 6DOIT, but I actually haven't gotten anything of theirs since ATOT. Grew out of them maybe?For Riverside I got ADHD last year, and all the rest this year. And I love them all!!! So Riverside it is! |
You don't like the 2nd disc of Six Degrees?
Well, If you like I&W and SFAM the most, you'd enjoy their new one
|
Not necessarily, I love those two albums but the new one is as dull as ditch water IMO.

Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

Not really sure. I do like it and I have listened to it quite often (I usually rotate albums a lot). But not a single cord or lyric or whatever sticks. No part of it sticks in my head. I always thought that Systematic Chaos was DT making a parody of DT. If that't the case then aDToE is DT making a muzak version of themselves, or maybe an easy-listening version. But I still like it.

So this will end on my birthday.
How nice of a present it would be if Dream Theater miraculously came back by the 25th :D

I’m surprised as well. I thought the final round would be DT v. PT or DT v. Marillion. I guess Riverside is more popular than I thought.
Both bands have 3 entries in PA’s top 20 Prog metal albums. One of DT’s is ADTOE. How did that happen?
Only counting Full length studio albums, Riverside has 75% of their discography in the top 20, DT only has 27%.

I dont know why your surprised, only last year we had a DT vs Riverside poll which Riverside won, and people are still talking about it.

I'm sorry, but even DT's less than stellar albums have at least a few really great tracks.

Dream Theater are great but Riverside are just amazing. Mariusz Duda's vocals and bass work are just phenomenal. The best Riverside albums are better than the best Dream Theater albums for me.

Just give it all an hour by the concrete lake.

I'm sorry, but if an album has 2 mildly enjoyable songs on it that doesn't excuse the rest of them being awful
|
I object! The defense calls Tarkus to the stand...

See, now that's your opinion whereas at least 3/4 of DT's songs are objectively bad

Probably not the best place to be asking this, but does anyone know how to delete images from the file manager? I'm trying to do it so I can update the tournament tree, but it's been imposible so far. I can highlight the files but when I try to delete them, it keeps appearing that bloody "no files selected" sign.

If you use Internet Explorer, I believe that may be the problem.
