As far as pure musicianship, they're second to none in the prog-metal scene. I mean, Petrucci played G3 with Vai and Satch! And Petrucci and Myung being from my hometown, I'll always be a bit biased. Dream Theater may not be terribly progressive when compared to other bands in the genre, but they're definitely one of my favorites. IMO, Octavarium is their strongest album since Scenes From a Memory (though "In the Name of God" and "Stream of Consciousness" off Train of Thought are probably in my top ten), so I'm excited to see where they go next.
Jam it back in, in the dark. |

One of these days I'm going to sit down with that album and really pay attention. I keep forgetting that I have it. >_< I don't know why there are so many Labrie detractors out there. I think his voice has a wonderful tone and his range and command are excellent.
There's nowhere I can't reach. |

I would stick to live versions of When Dream and Day Unite. The original vocalist was mediocre at best (I can't stand his voice personally).
I think the only thing that Symphony X and Dream Theater have in common is that they're big-time prog metal bands. Symphony X is more power metal whereas DT has limited power metal influences. I like them both. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
