New TMV's the weakest thing they've ever done, but I appreciate them wanting to do whatever the gently caress they want.Snow Cone Capone posted:some decently dep cuts too. Really happy to hear Drown With Me and Buying New Soul live. What's funny is I'd never heard Buying New Soul or Last Chance before this. I need to give Lightbulb Sun a full listen one of these days (Never got around to that or Recordings for some reason).

DoubleCakes posted:Coincidentally I just listened to Lightbulb Sun for the first time and it's on the top half of best PT albums. I don't remember enough of PT's 90s stuff to make a good comparison, but I liked the grooves of Lightbulb Sun. I think it's a frontloaded album, though. Falling Satellites is one of the finest albums of the 2010's. There's something very, you know, progressive about it. Very cool, very fresh.

For any TesseracT fans in here, I'll be airing an interview I had with Daniel Tompkins for my radio show during the 8pm hour (show runs from 7-10pm ET and can be heard here) this Monday night. Got to talk to him about the upcoming TesseracT album, new solo stuff, and IPAs.

Only time I've ever seen them live, so I'm very glad I did when I had the chance this time around (unlike TMV who I missed out on entirely).Rust Martialis posted:His recently acquired mannerisms of rapidly looking Left/right/left to flip his hair and Making Cool Gestures with pointed finger *really* are overdone. The NYC show was one of the better engineered concerts I've been to. Never got too loud to the point of distorting/breaking apart except for the middle of Anesthetize (which was awesome because that's basically the show's climax anyways). Now Dream Theater in 2014 at the Hammerstein... that was the worst engineered poo poo I'm glad I brought my Etymotics to.

Train of Thought - DT going thrash. Works for the most part. This Dying Soul and Stream Of Consciousness bang pretty hard. Octavarium - Probably the final stone cold DT classic. More classically progressive rock in nature with nods to Muse and U2. Systematic Chaos - Portnoy starts going up his own rear end, but in hindsight it's quite enjoyable for some of the swings it takes (even if a few of them don't work), something I wish the Mangini-era did more of (still waiting for that 90125/Abacab/Signals-style synthpop DT album). Black Clouds & Silver Linings - Mostly a dud tbh. Not much worthwhile other than A Nightmare To Remember. A Dramatic Turn Of Events - The best post-Octavarium album. Tasty instrumentals, inspirational as gently caress to the point where it’s kind of nauseating (the lyrics in the Mangini-era borders on Christian self-help stuff and it only gets more blatant from here). Awful album cover, phoned-in drums, good poo poo none-the-less. S/T - Best produced DT album outside of Awake. Bass, guitar, and drum tones are on point (especially on the 24bit versions which have a dramatic increase in dynamic range). Does kinda redo the formula of the previous album but the compositions are still somewhat engaging. The book club-rear end lyrics do start to become grating. The Looking Glass is awesome and might as well be a lost Rush song. The Astonishing - NO. Distance Over Time - I never gave myself the time to sit with this one, but it seems they went the opposite direction of The Astonishit with tighter performaces. I should give it another spin sometime. A View From The Top Of The World - What kind of smug rear end in a top hat came up with that title? Instrumentals can vary from tasty to boring noodling (same can be said compositionally). Nice meaty production, the LAZIEST lyrics, and LaBrie's voice is shot to hell.

Paladinus posted:I rarely check on interviews of the smaller bands I listen to (you're going to hear from Roger Waters no matter what), so I can only hope Arena are still fine. I wish Arena would re-record all their old stuff with Damian Wilson (or at least just the vocals). That's another band where their best stuff is marred by not-great singers. I'd love to hear Witch Hunt with Damian on vox fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucck. Warthur posted:Yeah, I recently purged Pendragon from my collection because I realised I was only holding on to them out of affection for the neo-prog scene they emerged from, even though they've never been on the level of Marillion (or even IQ or Twelfth Night). I got to this one song where the lyrics were telling me to go read a book, and then I immediately turned it off an blasted industrial hip-hop to wash this twee nonsense from my ears.

The one thing I'll say about the 40th ann. editions for previous Rush stuff is that it's the closest the digital versions have gotten to sounding like the OG vinyl.

For me it's A Dramatic Turn Of Events > S/T > Distance Over Time > Systematic Chaos > A View From The Top Of The World > Black Clouds & Silver Linings >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Eating Octo-mom's rear end in a top hat >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Astonishing - A Dramatic Turn sounds like 90's DT to the point of pastiche, but it's goooooooooooooooooooooooood. - The Self-Titled has a Symphony X opening track that sounds almost exactly like the opening track for Dramatic Turn melody-wise (really start to feel their creative burnout here), but the tracks that shamelessly rip off Rush are FANTASTIC. - Distance Over Time is more them going into a full-blown Rush album. It's pretty good. On some days it fucks. On other days I'm indifferent to it. Today is one of those days that it fucks. - Systematic Chaos is an uneven experiment, but I wish the Mangini era took more risks like this album (even if a decent chunk of it doesn't work). - The drum and bass tones A View From The Top taste like chicken and beer (and I'm not just saying that because I'd just left Buffalo Wild Wings and was driving slightly over the legal limit on the Hudson River Drive while listening to this thing) -- Some good compositions murked under tired wank / awful lyrics / James' voice being worse than usual. - It's easy to see why Portnoy wanted out after Black Clouds. I used to like "A Nightmare To Remember" a lot but man it's aged like milk aside for the 'Hopelessly drifting...' part. - The less said about The Astonishit the better.

Warthur posted: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. Portnoy would've never allowed The Astonishing to happen. This is unequivocally a good thing.
