I think DT just plays long/fast/complex songs nowadays just for the sake of being "progressive", instead of having substance like their earlier material which was also fast and technical.
@JamesLidia ... It's one of the best tracks in the álbum, although it has a lot of pretty-fucking great songs, this one is kicking ass. How do you say that the midsection is nonsense. Maybe it's boring to you, but, for us, it's a creative piece of art.
@TheMetalBuddy Take the bit after 6:44. How does this flow naturally from the rest of the song? How does it relate thematically or emotionally to what the song is about? It's a scattered mess. This isn't to say I hate the whole song, nor that I hate the group, but bits like this bother me. Reminds me of Octavarium where a freakin' awesome song has to have a muddled, nonsense instrumental section. What's the point?

@JamesLidia Well, that's not what Dream Theatre's about at all. If it worked like that, we wouldn't have songs like The Dance of Eternity, The Count of Tuscany, Octavarium, and countless others. Why not make them all five minutes? Because Dream Theatre has the genius and ability to make them what they are - 10 and 20 minute epics. With that kind of output, they are never going to make songs with 100% middles, but they come damn close, so shush.
To not compliment Mangini is like telling the rest of the band members that they have bad judgement for a suitable replacement. And Mangini plays Portnoy's parts right on, as he should.
The other hand is that everyone can hate my comment about Mike Portnoy doing his job for DT, but if I had a choice of drummers I would obviously chose the original Mike, the man the shaped Dream Theater!
As a person that is not that much into metal or hard rock, I must say, I only started listening to DT about year ago, and I grew to have I have the utmost respect them all, and both Portnoy and Mangini. So please, if I as a not-so-big fan can like them ALL, so can you devoted and dedicated fans.
It seems as if the drums are set back in the mix on this CD more than on other DT releases, but it could be that Mangini doesn't compete with the other parts as much as that other guy. ;-) Could be I'm losing my mind though, too.
this will take to dream theater to the top of the world, noy only in the progresive music. they are the greatest, a band like them never existed,because, who can mix progresive rock and metal, and all of their musicians are incredible, for me, the bassist is the best in history, the guitarrist is one of the best of this times, and history to, well, they are all great musicians, and a great group. YEAAAA DT \m/
i dont care who the best is mangini or Portnoy. As long as the band sounds good and mangini can live up to the task ( which he has)...its all good. I miss the oddities in DT though...those signature changes in the songs...their whole sound mix has changed in this album. Now i know portnoy was a big part of the mastering process too. guitars are just too heavy for me. i want to hear the rest of the band !! wheres the bass ?
Anyone remember the beauty that was The Miracle and the Sleeper? so sick of this variation between horrible structureless keyboard rambling and generic metal riffs to violin fronted block-chord moaning, I miss these guys being badass and telling awesome stories, because this album is boring me to tears at some points. Where have all the cool riffs gone? The Octaviarium style oddities? seems like they compacted everything amazing into Breaking All Illusions :(
@Acidwrath I do agree. I think they're doing it too much for the fans and not enough for themselves. However, I believe that the minute they get a new singer, things will become much better. I also think Mangini will help bring back the originality with his ideas and fresh blood into the band for the next album.
@ShatteredWindowpane Finally, a sensible response! Definately, you can tell they're reaching for a mainstream audience. Can't wait till they get a new singer either, what an edge it'll give. Personally love Mangini's grooves too, I really want to hear him bloom in the future. Hope they play mostly old stuff live!
@Acidwrath To be honest, I'd expect them to get some singer like Marc Hudson from Dragonforce, only less commercial and younger. Could you imagine? Any Dream Theater album would instantly become 10x more awesome. I mean, LaBrie is very good, huuge influence, but honestly he literally cannot sing old songs anymore, and fans won't put up with that forever :P
@ShatteredWindowpane Not sure whatyou mean? LaBrie performs the old songs outstandingly live. I wouldn't get your hopes up, LaBrie is more than likely a permanent member of DT unless he himself decides to leave, which in my opinion would be worse, much worse, than Portnoy leaving.
@MKScorpion06 Have you heard him live? I'm saying compare it to old days. He can't perform like that forever, and I certainly won't see Dream Theater live with my parents if I know he'll be wailing around all the time.
@ShatteredWindowpane I heard him live on THIS tour actually, and he's been doing great. Seems ever since 2 years ago or so he's improved substantially in live performances, and I thought he was at the top of his game.
@MKScorpion06 I haven't actually seen them live, so I guess I can't really say. I'm using footage I've seen on Youtube of his performances and they seem rather wailing.
Guys i have listened to DT all my life and i love it but i have to say that i think this album sounds like a repitition of things they have already played. Im not bashing the band but im just not feeling it with this one.
You know you lost track of time when they call to tell you: Where the F are You? And you're like..: wow i just listened that masterpiece ONLY 4 times..4 TIMES? Shit..It's DT!!!!
@dnazz32 You do know that Mangini didn't build the drums for this album, right? They were built by Ruddess for this album because there was no Portnoy and they started working on the album
@AceMasterDX And it is for this reason that im not saying that mangini is better or portnoy is better for DT until next album (which hopefully has the drum tracks written by mangini)
@braedonROX The next album will be compsed by JR & JP again... The only difference will be Mangini gets to start messing with drums right away. I don't think they will write in a full band setting, so Mangini can't write songs or anything. Sounds weird but it's just the way it is
@AceMasterDX It was Petrucci who wrote the drum skeleton. They actually started to write the album after the drum auditions, so Mangini was already in the band when they hit the studio. Although JP did wrote the drum SKELETON, Mangini changed like 70% of it, because Petrucci is not a drummer. Just listen the instrumental part of "Outcry", how in hell could JP came out with something like that?, THAT is the work of a DRUMMER. Sorry for my shitty english.
@AceMasterDX "John Petrucci programmed some drum machines. In some cases, it was a skeleton. In other cases, it was kick and snare placement, which I did mimic, because after trying different things, he had come up with what I thought was the best stuff." - Mike Mangini.
i love how all u dipshits are acting like mangini wrote this when he didnt.. this was all jp jm and jr's doing so lay off portnoy mangini didnt do shit on this album be learned wat they wrote
The contrast really hits me between different forms of metal music... when i go from an insane headbanger of a Slayer song to the complex beauty of Dream Theater
If you listen to the interviews, they said this album was similar to the last ten years of dream theater sound but not a total separation. They wanted to ease fans into something different. The next album will be when we get the real evolution of their sound
brilliant...what more can I say. It does, though, remind me a bit of "my" Images & Words...which is one of my Albums of all times...Welcome back indeed
Mangini will defintely be great on their next album! I think he did good here considering he was'nt involved in the writing process. Of course DT will sound different, but the guy is not a "poser" by any means. If you want to hear him play some fills with power that are amazing listen to "Crucify" on Elements of Persuasion
Mike Portnoy who?! This is like if John Petrucci left and some poser replaced him, sure he would be good, but not AS good, and can not make the awesome rifts and shreds like John.... DT will never be the same.
this its the DT i fall in love this its the DT i Love This its the DT im fan, This its PROG!!! this its Virtuoso This its Dream Theater!!!!! finally a Song of Gods keep making this DT
this its the DT i fall in love this its the DT i Love This its the DT im fan, This its PROG!!! this its Virtuoso This its Dream Theater!!!!! finally a Song of Gods keep making this DT
I can definitely see people at concerts doing the "OOOO OOOOOO OOOO" thing a la Iron Maiden's Fear Of The Dark during the intro. It would be mind blowing.
Quite possibly the most Progressive & technically challenging album Dream Theater has ever recorded!, definitely not bad for having done it with a brand new member on the drums!.
@gonzalomesa1 It's over 11 minutes long, has odd shifting time signatures and extended instrumental sections, as you already admitted. If you think that's commercial you need to get your shit together, son.
Ignore him, hes just trolling. He thinks he is the shit just because hes studying classic guitar or some shit like that. Sad thing is, that he could never make a single piece of music like this.
@KAIbanezA7X ur perfectly right...i swear i never felt a sensation like this from a song(is called orgasm) for one hour my heart was beating like hell and i couldn't even stop it i can't sleep since i heard the new album
@KAIbanezA7X YEEEEAAAAH, I am still never going to say that. Have you forgotten "Black clouds and Silver linings" or what about "Train of Thought?" Its good, but not as good as with Portnoy... Mangini is great, but not nearly as epic as Mike Portnoy.
PS. I swear if one more 12 year old noob who says that he has been drumming for "years" and about Mangini's, "Poly rhythms" and "Ambidexterity" I'm going to freak... PORTNOY IS THE BEST!.... The end.
He meant DT is better without Portnoy's contributions, not that Mangini makes DT better. Portnoy might have made amazing music in the past, but he had too much creative control, and the band had been making very poor music lately.
A Dramatic Turn of Events is infinitely better than SC and Black Clouds, and probably better than anything that would have come to be if Portnoy hadn't left.
Exactly that. Portnoy's contributions were never a favourite of mine. I'm evidently an A7X fan, and the contributions he made to their album, most notably the song 'Save Me' kinda wrecked it for me. I don't have anything against Portnoy, I think he's a great drummer, and is awesome live. I'm just not a fan of the contribution he prints around on several bands. 'Leaving his mark' so to speak.
beautiful music, those guys really know the meaning of cool prog metal music... 1st thing i'm gonna do tomorrow is to get the album... dt is back with their awesome n creative ideas... thanks to jm, jp, jr, jl & mm for those fantastic music.
That clown is really fucked out there. I mean, 35.000 feet above sea leel, on a fucking rope that is snapping and a boeing that is about to hit him, Sick... He has some darn balls being photographed there just fore this album cover.

I can definitely see people at concerts doing the "OOOO OOOOOO OOOO" thing a la Iron Maiden's Fear Of The Dark during the intro. It would be mind blowing.

Quite possibly the most Progressive & technically challenging album Dream Theater has ever recorded!, definitely not bad for having done it with a brand new member on the drums!.

Does the intro remind anyone else of something Evergrey would do?
Not complaining, just saying...

gonzalomesa1 5 months ago
@gonzalomesa1 It's over 11 minutes long, has odd shifting time signatures and extended instrumental sections, as you already admitted. If you think that's commercial you need to get your shit together, son.

Ignore him, hes just trolling. He thinks he is the shit just because hes studying classic guitar or some shit like that. Sad thing is, that he could never make a single piece of music like this.

@Ejdzbiol91 Really? because FII, ToT, Octavarium, BC&SL, and SC all seem a hell of a lot more commercial to me.

Never thought I'd say this, but I prefer DT without Portnoy. If this is the way the albums are going to continue, then welcome, Mangini.

@KAIbanezA7X ur perfectly right...i swear i never felt a sensation like this from a song(is called orgasm) for one hour my heart was beating like hell and i couldn't even stop it i can't sleep since i heard the new album

@KAIbanezA7X I totally agree, my friend. Dream Theater were a very good band with Portnoy. And now... Dream Theater is THE BAND.
TheNexusReplicant 5 months ago
@KAIbanezA7X YEEEEAAAAH, I am still never going to say that. Have you forgotten "Black clouds and Silver linings" or what about "Train of Thought?" Its good, but not as good as with Portnoy... Mangini is great, but not nearly as epic as Mike Portnoy.
PS. I swear if one more 12 year old noob who says that he has been drumming for "years" and about Mangini's, "Poly rhythms" and "Ambidexterity" I'm going to freak... PORTNOY IS THE BEST!.... The end.

@KAIbanezA7X Mangini had nothing to do with this album. The drum tracks where already written. Ignorant comment is ignorant.

@xPurpleDrinkx9001
He meant DT is better without Portnoy's contributions, not that Mangini makes DT better. Portnoy might have made amazing music in the past, but he had too much creative control, and the band had been making very poor music lately.
A Dramatic Turn of Events is infinitely better than SC and Black Clouds, and probably better than anything that would have come to be if Portnoy hadn't left.

@SpaceDyeDream
Exactly that. Portnoy's contributions were never a favourite of mine. I'm evidently an A7X fan, and the contributions he made to their album, most notably the song 'Save Me' kinda wrecked it for me. I don't have anything against Portnoy, I think he's a great drummer, and is awesome live. I'm just not a fan of the contribution he prints around on several bands. 'Leaving his mark' so to speak.

beautiful music, those guys really know the meaning of cool prog metal music... 1st thing i'm gonna do tomorrow is to get the album... dt is back with their awesome n creative ideas... thanks to jm, jp, jr, jl & mm for those fantastic music.
