...Now you can agree or not, but let's not pretend we don't understand what Easy reports in every post; it sounds like a broken record, always repeating the same things, but he's actually being asked the same questions over and over again. It seems that the final point of Easy's opinion is simply not accepted. He says what he thinks. It would be more interesting to talk to him, maybe about other groups, other artists, other rock movements. The topic of DT is just too overexposed.

I think we are all going a bit crazy repeating posts and phrases that have already been said and over-said, to the point that I skipped some of Orione's posts entirely, reading only the last sentence of each one, as I already knew his opinion about the DT. Now, let's take a moment to abstract and deduce: Easy particularly loves (to summarize) indie, noise, new wave, punk, garage rock, dark wave, and perhaps he also has a soft spot for some Power pop. Now, it doesn't take a genius to see that he doesn't care much for metal, and even less for prog metal. He doesn't care about technique, he doesn't care about aesthetics. Now let's do the math: metal (except maybe for certain avant-garde) is poorly regarded by certain intellectual (or more simply historical) critics, due to its inability to renew itself. Therefore, combining metal with progressive, a rock movement that died artistically practically in the mid-70s, for one of these hypothetical critics (whom Easy undoubtedly aspires to in his thoughts), can only appear to him as a historical aberration, as well as extremely conservative in substance. Thus, according to Easy, the DT draw the worst from each element of inspiration: the worst from metal (which has become synonymous with musical reactionism) that reflects on itself, not moving even a millimeter, and the formal virtuosity of progressive, which today can probably only be formal, having already artistically said everything it had to say. It’s no surprise then that the most "discriminated" Metal subgenres are precisely prog metal and also Power Metal, meaning the main metal sources from which today’s so-called photocopy bands, one just like the other, emerge...

"Which '70s progressive band drew from funk?? The Pink Floyd of the '70s."

But Tear Jerker is really beautiful, I have to tell the truth, even if it has nothing to do with the Korn sound.

a review that has no reason to exist, take a look in the mirror is even worse than this.

Epochal.

Mercury compared to Mozart?????? But why? WHY?

Pixelid, I used to be a big fan of Queen, but you are overestimating both Mercury and the others in the band too much. Queen, I say this with some regret, actually didn’t invent anything... they were “special” in their early albums, they created more than worthy songs, but in reality the legendary bands are others.

shitty review, decent album.

I'm starting to think that you have serious mental issues.
