I told some dude that I liked Stratovarius. He told me to try some Dream Theater. What songs do you guys suggest me?
Re: dream theater
Uh oh.
I suggest you listen to a few songs from each album. Start with 'A Fortune In Lies' from When Dream And Day Unite album.
I'll leave the rest up to the other Dream Theater geeks on this forum.

I like Dream Theater but in the moment I'm trying don't think about the band because I couldn't go to the concert in my country

Re: dream theater
You just have to listen to Train Of Thought. That album is off the hook.

Re: dream theater
My beginning was Metropolis Part2: Scenes from a Memory. And I can promise, when you heard this album, you won't give away it! But beware: I only listen it when I have 80minutes for it because it's like ONE story...!
Or taste Images and Words!

Re: dream theater
Octavarium and Images and Words are the albums that I like most...
But if you like ballads you shoud try somethings for Scenes from a Memory, bescause that's a very good album too.

Re: dream theater
Yeah, I recommend Train Of Thought. It's more metal and less wankery.
By the way, I'm not by any means a DT nerd, so feel free to completely disregard my opinion..
And for the record, I'm not really clear on how someone comes up with "Hey, you like Stratovarius?! Try Dream Theater!".

Re: dream theater
The two bands have some common elements (very high levels of skill on all instruments, complex songwriting) so it's easy to see how one person can appreciate both.HvyMtlClickWitch wrote:Yeah, I recommend Train Of Thought. It's more metal and less wankery.

Re: dream theater
Try to listen, without any other thing to do, and if possible desconnect phones and stuff like that, the OCTAVARIUM album. It's simply Magic.

I really wasn't impressed by Octavarium. Train of Thought and Six Degrees of Inner Turbulance were much better in my opinion.eternity_strato wrote:Try to listen, without any other thing to do, and if possible desconnect phones and stuff like that, the OCTAVARIUM album. It's simply Magic.

Re: dream theater
I can give you an advice about a DT album : "Image And Words". The best DT album, according to me. "Pull Me Under" and "Metropolis" are great songs.doc_holliday wrote:I told some dude that I liked Stratovarius. He told me to try some Dream Theater. What songs do you guys suggest me?

Re: dream theater
Well these songs are really good, I can't say something negative about it. But on the Metropolis 2, a 86minutes story with highs and lows, with passages of pain and love, of trouble and peace, of a relaxing beginning and a very surprising end!!!! It's like a movie - ENJOY! -MetalAngel wrote:I can give you an advice about a DT album : "Image And Words". The best DT album, according to me.

Train of Thoughts also is one of the best of DT. It's a wonderful piece!

Re: dream theater
Well, my 3 favorite DT albums are Octavarium, Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence and Images and Words, those 3 are just genious
but beware, i found DT to be harder to listen than strato becuase they are more complex and vary a lot, even the same song but their songs have mostly grown up on me, very few were instant classics (Though Metropolis pt 1, The Glass Prison, About to Crash, Space Dye Vest and Stream of Conciousness deserve honorary mention for kicking ass from the first time I listened to them)

Re: dream theater
Isn't there anybody to suggest the masterpiece called ΑWAKE?
Great songs like Space dye vest, The Mirror-Lie, The Silent Man 6:00..

I think Scenes From A Memory is the easier Dream Theater album to listen to. With it you will turn crazy about them. Then you can continue listening to the rest of their discography.nepi wrote:My beginning was Metropolis Part2: Scenes from a Memory.

Re: dream theater
I can't believe u call them boring. And u like DrangoForce. I listened to that song of DragonForce, one of the new ones, (Fire and flames?) and I felt like I was listening to a song in Valley of the Damned. The same shit, the same shit, all over again. And u say DT is boring?

Re: dream theater
wOOt DT is IMO one of the best Bands in the whole fucking world.
This high technical pretentious songs with great intelligent lyrics just kick my ass.
The old albums and the newer albums as well.
By the way do they have the best drummer and one of the three greatest guitarists in the world in their band.
Yeah DT is the ultimate mixture of Metal and Progressive Rock.
Ok you can have your own opinion about these guys,
but calling their music "boring" is maybe the consequence of a prematured comprehension for such exacting and versatile music.
Nevertheless are "Images And Word" and "Awake" the best ProgMetal Albums ever.
