8 comments so far (post your own)Now that the “holy trinity” of prog (Rush, Yes and The Moody Blues) have been inducted and since Metallica had been inducted previously, there might be a possibility of seeing a Dream Theater nomination in about 5 yrs. or so. I happen to like some songs from the new version of Dream Theater. I happen to think that ‘On The Backs Of Angels,’ is definitely one of their best songs and I like the fact that their music does not appear to be sonic sludge any longer, it sounds more like Rush combined with Yes. So how on earth, could I not like it? ;-) Posted by Enigmaticus on Monday, 06/18/2018 @ 10:47am |

DT has an excellent reputation as a serious band who are committed to making music on their own terms. That said, I don't get much out of their music which I find to be a bit ponderous and self-indulgent. I don't think that the mere inclusions of poly-rhythms or odd time signatures alone should merit the praise heaped on them for geeking-out musically. Sure, they are capable of playing quite well and anyone would be lucky to be able to play at their level though it's not as if any of their albums are on repeat - at least for me. It could be that it's their fans that bug me more - some of whom think that sweeping arpeggios and tapping are required for a guitar solo. If you have to break every song down into permutations of specific techniques then maybe it's not that good of a song to begin with ? Again, DT are great musicians but seeing them perform live can be like going to a clinic at GIT in LA. I do hope they get recognition just for staying in the biz as long as they have which is miraculous. And no - I am not Mike Portnoy trollin' on the band.

Very talented and influential band, but I just can't see it happening. Posted by Tyler Partnow on Thursday, 01/17/2019 @ 20:10pm |
