Dream Theater

How can one compare the deliberately raw and gritty sound of Kyuss with the intentionally polished, if you will hyper-produced, and technical style of Dream Theater? Beyond personal taste, we are dealing with two diametrically opposed worlds. It's like comparing a Bach fugue to a Bruckner symphony. However, both are technically impeccable. And to the detractors who see them as soulless and uninspired, I recommend listening to Hollow Years, The Spirit Carries On, Another Day, and Through Her Eyes.
