Um, I'm pretty sure it's my opinion that I think they're boring and I don't want to listen to them? I don't know about you, but it's kind of hard to back up why I think they're boring with "cold hard facts". They're just boring to me. That's pretty much it, and I think that's a perfectly valid reason not to listen to them and to not like them.

It is a perfectly valid reason to not listen to them. But is it a perfectly valid reason to say they suck? Not really. Anywho, I see this is just getting out of hand. I just wanted to defend Maynard a little as I freaking love APC. (Tool I like but not near as much as I like APC.) And yes, Lateralus pretty much bores me to death too. It's easily their worst album.

Kai:
I'm pretty sure it is a valid reason to say they suck, just as you saying you don't like the metal screaming is a valid reason why the entire genre sucks. (which, by the way, is generally pretty retarded, since metal is such an absurdly vast genre with so many different styles and to write the entire thing off because of one certain thing is pretty dumb)

--- Quote from: beat mouse ---PS; James LaBrie fucking SUCKS. He can't hit a single one of those notes live. Not to mention I've never been so annoyed with him. Dream Theater are pretty decent, (although their new album is a piece of crap, sad to say) but for the amazingly talented guys they are, they really need to work on songwriting. Who am I to judge these guys? I dont know, the target audience they're trying to sell to.

He's easily my favorite part of Dream Theater, and I only listen to the songs that rock more than they prog, because Dream Theater is really bad at prog.  I blame Portnoy for being an entirely mediocre drummer, mainly.  I still don't think any of the other members are really good enough, compositionally, to actually write a reasonable prog album.  If I want prog, I'm going to listen to some guys who can really pull it off and make it sound good.  If I want to rock, I'm going to listen to Dream Theater.  Also, their new album is one of the first where there are whole songs on which they don't try too hard.  Also, everyone has to admit it  better your solowas better than the music holocaust that was Train of Thought.  "We wrote it in three weeks!"  Maybe if they'd spent longer on it, it would have been good.


--- Quote from: Hat ---That doesn't meant that Rudess doesn't kick total arse in everything he's done with DT.

They need Moore back, or even Sherenian.  Rudess just doesn't fit their style at all.  Probably because, if I recall correctly, he doesn't like metal.  Hard to write in a genre you don't like.  They also need to stop those stupid unison licks.  All it's doing is showing that they can play in unison really fast.  It rarely ever benefits the song.
