One of the very few reviews I've liked on de baser, and the first compliments I'm giving to a review and a reviewer. Well done. The situation you described in the review is something I've experienced myself, and since then I've started to understand a few things. Soon I'll get my hands on the entire discography of these "cheerful" guys.

In fact, this review is a critique not only of the DT but also of a way of understanding music, the "erudite" metal of recent years.

For Easy: In my opinion, the measure of judgment cannot be the same, and I believe the existence of specialized criticism in the musical field partially confirms this (even though I'm not exactly sure how specialized it actually is). Anyway, aside from the countless nonsense that criticism has thrown out in its assessments since the concept of music has existed... I wouldn't be able to analyze and comment on Fugazi and DT using the same method. Their musical/compositional/technical/exp ressive goals are too different.

Easycure has a post-modern vision of music, matt instead modern. That's it.

But in general, it does hold true.

No, on the contrary, because metal was born as a branch of rock, but now it lives its own "life." And you would agree with me that playing rock is one thing, and playing metal is another... Punk didn’t need Petrucci's solos to be Good Punk!

In their genre, they know how to play. Every genre has its own requirements and its own criteria for critique. When judging Scenes from a Memory, you cannot use the standards of New Wave, man! Just as you cannot apply ABSOLUTE musical criteria to review any genre of album.

No, Billy Corgan has made history, he and the Pumpkins, you can't trash him like that, Matt. You can't say he doesn't sound like Petrucci and therefore makes low-quality music. I mean, that's an argument that only someone who listens to prog metal would make. And it's not a very good argument. Composing great music does NOT ABSOLUTELY REQUIRE EXCEPTIONAL TECHNIQUE. Rock, in general, doesn't need technical virtuosity to be of quality; metal does, because it's one of its prerogatives.

Therefore, in light of this, you will notice that DT is one of the least conservative metal groups despite everything, because at least they have merged prog with metal, giving life to a particular subgenre, not innovative, but particular, as before them it "officially" didn't exist or was practically unknown to most. In ten years, when the terms PROG METAL are mentioned, the mind will undoubtedly go to DT, and we will understand that they have made their "little story."
