hey guys I just heard the new dream theater CD and wow it sounds like the art bears? all the songs are 150 seconds long and filled with commie rhetoric and there's like a elbows on the piano solo and the drums are orchestral rather than ornamental

dont bother using p2p u wont find it how i got it is secret

Seeing how you spell, you must be an amazing reviewer "doing good what you do best"!

Unfortunately, I doubt that the review paints a good, relatively unbiased picture. The guy is clearly a huge DT fan, perhaps even fanboy .

I will not read a review of that album... with other bands I may do that, but with The Dream, I don't want any ideas to crawl into my mind and act as pre-judgement when I finally get ahold of a copy of the disc.... I want to hear it with open mind and clear ears (better wash them! )... Then I'll write my own review and then I'll read someone else's takes on the record.... If it's so heavy as some say, I probably will be dissapointed.. But I won't allow myself to be dissapointed EVEN BEFORE I actually listen to the album.... I want to have my brain free of pre-conceptions and judge the album according to my parameters...

If that review is accurate, then DT has done everything I was hoping they'd do (i.e. focus on the thrash and Floyd influences, don't write cheesy ballads, make the overall vibe dark and heavy without sounding forced, like in some of TOT).

Unfortunately, I doubt that the review paints a good, relatively unbiased picture. The guy is clearly a huge DT fan, perhaps even fanboy . So, the answer to the question, "Is the new one a masterpiece, or is it DT-lite like tracks 1-7 on Octavarium?" is (IMO) most likely, "somewhere in between".

I hope I'm wrong, and the reviewer is right when he says it's "undoubtedly" their best in "many years".

And what's with the discotheque and Robbie Williams crap!?! WHAAAAAAAAAAA????? I suppose it could be good or another "Disco Queen."  And Forsaken being a radio smash a la Evenescense? ugh.... I can stand poppier stuff by Dream Theater (I love The Silent Man, Innocence Faded, and even some of the more shocking pop/rock on Falling into Infinity) but I don't know if I can take something like Evenescense.

kinda squeamish about the "Evanescence" but the techno elements I don't mind, Fates Warning pulled them off quite effectively with Kevin Moore on Disconnected......but not Disco Queen, pleeaaaasee
