Dream Theater

Has anyone heard the new album? I love DT, and fancy buying the new one to add to my decent collection of their stuff but, for some reason, I'm slightly worried about it being DT by numbers. Anyone got any reassuring comments?

Black Clouds and Silver Linings? Available on Spotify (including a twice-as-long special edition)...

Thanks JD. It wasn't there when I looked yesterday. I'll give it a listen!

 

[matthewpiano]

Nope! Link doesn't work for me, and the album is nowhere to be found on Spotify. Thanks for the help though JD. Now to solve the mystery of why your Spotify seems to see different albums to mine!!

Hm - I'm not on premium or anything...

Haven`t heard it as yet Matthew. However, Classic Rock magazine reviewed it this month and described it as `brave and inventive` and gave it 8 out of 10. Sounds like a safe bet to me.

Well I listened to the first minute of the first track and had to turn it off, but I like musical theatre so you can take that under advisement. The extended edition appears to have an eclectic assortment of covers though, including Stargazer (played a bit too fast), so may require further investigation (sorry to rub it in MP...

)

Its there for me and listened to the opening track which sounded great. Another fine recommendation Matthew

It's there on Spotify for me too,am busy listening to it now.

 

[John Duncan]

you just have to keep rubbin' it in, dontcha?

Anyway Matthew - are you set up for the correct country in your spotify account? I think which albums are available depends where you are...

I got it through on Monday, but haven't had a chance to listen to it yet. Watched 'Valkyrie' on Monday night, so that was that night gone. Had my parents over last night for mine and my Wife's 35th birthday. Made a curry, ate the curry, parents went home, and we watched 'Gran Torino', so that ruled out Tuesday

Day off today so I'm gonna stick it on right now. The Wife hates D.T as she thinks they're a load of pretentious t*****s.

Big Chris:The Wife hates D.T as she thinks they're a load of pretentious t*****s.

My wife thinks that about all the music I like. Either that or they're "miserable whiny t*****s". Or, more succinctly, "sh-te".

 

[John Duncan]

Though talking of which, anybody going to see Chickenfoot tomorrow?

 

[Big Chris]

Wow! After 10 albums, I thought I'd heard everything in Mike Portnoy's arsenal. But at 14:44 in track 1 he does blast beats!!!
