Dream Theater Constant Motion

I'm sorry, but I&W was somewhat more bland compared to the innovative charge of WD&DU. I'm not saying it's better or worse, but the inventions found in the former I haven't seen in an entire album, just in a few separate songs (Metropolis Pt. 1, or A Change of Seasons, for example, which coincidentally they had started writing in the late '80s with Moore).

The truly innovative album by Dream is When Dreams And Day Unite; in that case, it was indeed about picking up a conversation, the same one that the Rush had started, for example, and bringing progressive structure to metal.

I confirm, but at least I reviewed the album that had fewer reviews. (It's curious that it has fewer reviews than Systematic Chaos, which hasn't come out yet, when at the time it was an eccezziunale veramente album).

Come on, bets are open on who will reach 100 reviews first: Pink Floyd (in the lead with 88, but no longer producing records [oh my, you never know]), Iron Maiden (close behind with 85 reviews, but still active) or Dream Theater (behind with 69, but with an album that already boasts 5 reviews before its release).

As usual, the usual fans demonstrate on Debaser how democracy isn't really the perfect system after all.

"I also wrote it in the review: the CD was already ready and mixed BEFORE signing with Roadrunner. The label agreed to sign the contract AFTER listening to the CD, which was produced by Portnoy and Petrucci. Get your facts straight before writing." I apologize, then I confirm that for me they are dead and gone, something like that is inconceivable. That doesn’t take away from the fact that Roadrunner deserves my contempt.

an objective review of the album, not at all objective about the band. You can average it out a bit, but I agree about the album.

Labrie and Portnoy in Growl? Where? I’ve listened to the album and, frankly, I thought it would be worse, but for me, Dream Theater died after a mediocre yet catchy SFAM. However, I don’t see any reason for this free and senseless hate; the Dream have done mooooooore better and original stuff (the debut album, for example), but to call this the worst record in the history of rock is quite a stretch. The biggest mistake was signing with Roadrunner.

Opeth Still Life

I would say that the influence of Camel is felt more than that of Pink Floyd (Akerfeldt explicitly mentions them; the first arpeggios of Benighted echo the beginning of Never Let Go by Camel, indeed). There are quite a few affinities with Porcupine Tree, given that Wilson produced three Opeth albums (in chronological order: Blackwater Park, Deliverance, Damnation). I'd say that to start, this Still Life is great, or the latest Ghost Reveries, but keep in mind that each album is quite different from the others. Even if you’re not satisfied with these two, Damnation will definitely please you; it's devoid of the "heavy" component (growl, heavy guitars) and is an album entirely shaped in the style of the '70s.
