I used to be a big fan of Dream Theater, but I can't get that enthusiatic over them anymore. They're all extremely technically skilled, but the music is weak compositionally. Still, Scenes from a Memory is a fairly good album and probably my favorite from what I've heard. LaBrie's vocals aren't bad, but they're tons better on Ayreon's The Human Equation. Arjen Lucassen really brought out the warmth and depth of his voice on that album. He has this way of bringing out the best in vocalists.

Again, I think Dream Theater focuses too much on virtuosity and not enough on their overall composition. Look at Genesis, for instance. All of the members of Genesis during the Peter Gabriel era were virtuosos of their instruments, but they never felt the need to sacrifice their compositions with instrumental wankery. There were certainly lots more solos in Yes's work, but they were almost always tangential to the composition.
