Most of DT's best stuff was done better by Fates Warning.

Mike Portnoy should back up Geddy and Alex on a small venue tour and the rest of dream theater should sell cars.

If we're talking Canadians who could replace LaBrie, I'll add Sebastian Bach.

i know I'm some kind of terrible prog-pop wonk, but i expect to never be interested in dream theater until they put out a single-LP record where no song is longer than six minutes I'll even give them an hour-long CD where nothing's longer than seven minutes every time I've tried to listen to them, i just end up going "these are some very nice bits of musicianship but holy gently caress are they DONE yet?"

Only one track is longer than 7 minutes (7:40) out of 34 tracks. Most of them are 3-5 minutes long. It is also the one of the least liked Dream theater albums.

I was just thinking about Falling Into Infinity the other day with the MP news, and I've come to the conclusion that in terms of song arrangement, everything that was forced onto Dream Theater for that album improved it as a whole. Hollow Years and Lines in the Sand both flow better without the cut pre-choruses/verses, Burning My Soul is a better song overall for having Hell's Kitchen chopped out of it and made into its own track (and frankly the new ending for Hell's Kitchen is a highlight of the record), and while You Not Me is an unfathomably stupid song, it at least has that stupidity going for it over the original You Or Me, which is a bit of a nothingburger. Still wouldn't have minded having some of the cut songs like The Way It Used To Be or Raise the Knife over some of the tracks that did make it onto record, though.

Paladinus posted:Portnoy's been in so many things since his departure, I don't know if he's still got that Dream Theater spark in him. It's definitely going to be an interesting album, though. Honestly, the thing DT needs the most right now is a good injection of ideas from outside the DT bubble so if Mike's wide-ranging meanderings outside the band help him offer that then that's all to the good.

Yeah, the band 100% needs Mike's influence in songwriting if they want to go back to making records that people want to listen to. I love JP as a musician and some of his songwriting can be charming but holy god drat we've gone too long without Portnoy to tell him that sometimes his poo poo really does stink.
