I'm very close to calling an end to this epic battle as Batman(PT) is kicking Superman's(DT) butt. Winner by TKO? I might give it three more rounds we'll see but this is very one-sided. This 4th round puts the third lowest rated album for each band against each other coincidently. This is painful to watch. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Easily Signify for me as well. That's probably my least favourite Dream Theater album although the samples of the latest one The Astonishing could make it the worst one but there's no way I'm buying it just to review it. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

`Signify' a million billion times over! In many ways one of the absolute finest modern prog albums that covers everthing from electronic, ambient, psychedelic, gothic, prog and metal (well, more hard rock probably!), with beautiful thoughtful lyrics from Wilson, making it a high point in the PT discography. It displays a subtlelty, variety and richness completely absent from the other album listed here! `Falling into Infinity' is simply a decent accessible prog-metal/crossover prog hybrid, and I don't care enough about Dream Theater to rate it so poorly compared to their other albums. For many years, this was the only DT album I had, and it was perfectly OK for what it was, tracks like `Peruvian Skies' were terrific...but damn there's also some excurciating moments of slop - `Anna Lee' anyone?! |

Signify's good, but overrated. FII has some great songs ("Lines in the Sand"), but also WTF moments like "Burning My Soul." I'd have to revisit Signify before voting. Hey...50/50 can always become 51/49.  ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

Great post Michael! I love early PT with that strong psychedelic flavour. Waiting is so freaking good,but also Every Home Is Wired and Dark Matter. I like the Stars Die compilation as well that features the early period, a must-have in my opinion. My oldest daughter loves the album cover to Signify. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

I think I'll do two more polls then call it, I'm just curious to see PT's song period against two of DT's more highly rated albums. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Great to hear, John (and happy birthday for the other day too!), a perfect opportunity to dig out a story I might have mentioned once before years back on the Archives! I was kind of seeing a girl many years ago (it never really came together though), and in the early days, she came over to visit and I was wearing my Signify t-shirt, and she asked about the group, I gave her a quick description, and she said `So they use pornography to sell their music?' which I was completely dumb-founded. I always found the cover had a gothic quality, but nothing more. Other than making a severe reach and suggesting that the girl tied up on the cover is somehow VAGUELY related to bondage (which I honestly don't see even the tiniest trace off in the image), I seriously don't know how she even came to that conclusion. I explained the `concept' of the album and what a majority of the pieces were about, but it always came back to `They shouldn't have to resort of such an offensive image on their cover'.... Probably good that never went anywhere!

Very similar to these polls, a bust. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

An interesting story and thanks for the b-day wishes. I'll have to ask my daughter why she likes it so much and what she thinks it represents. It is a strange cover I always thought, quite gothic as you say along with the other pictures. It must "signify" something right? I have the bonus disc called Insignificance(demos). ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Nice thread. Great stories, John and Michael. I agree wholeheartedly, Michael, with your assessment of the place Signify should hold in the history of progressive rock music. A seminal, breakthrough, "re-awakening" album for the new era of prog. ------------- Drew Fisher https://progisaliveandwell.blogspot.com/ |
