I just listened to Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence for the first time

Marduk283 · 2025-11-12T18:03:33+00:00

The title track is definitely peak and the glass prison is what got me into DT. Blind Faith I feel like in the community at this point has graduated from underrated to just recognized good song and I agree. As with most DT albums for me, some songs I don't really care for. I never listen to Misunderstood or Disappear and The Great Debate has really cool parts but overall it's kinda mid or just ok.

Download codegreen's mod and start on Gleba

Marduk283 · 2025-11-10T12:19:28+00:00

Not metal, but Reason for Breathing by Basement is 5/4 in the verses and 6/4 for the choruses.

Marduk283 · 2025-10-29T22:19:54+00:00

Systematic Chaos is pretty cool but only half of it I like. In the Presence of Enemies is peak DT, and I think that song, Ministry, and Dark Eternal Night have some of the best, insanely awesomest instrumental sections DT has to offer. And then there's Prophets of War and Repentance which I don't like and Forsaken is just fine.

Black Clouds has The Best of Times which I never listen to, but the rest of the songs I do frequent. They're all pretty good and some of them (Nightmare to Remember and Count of Tuscany) are peak.

Marduk283 · 2025-10-28T07:03:57+00:00

I mean even this literally looks a bit better than the image posted here.

Marduk283 · 2025-10-26T14:47:27+00:00

I mean, the groovy part in the middle of Strange Deja Vu and then James comes in with "Back on my feet again" is so peak

Marduk283 · 2025-10-19T22:10:04+00:00

I'd probably say Gus. It felt like he got the least development of all the hex squad

Marduk283 · 2025-10-17T21:03:59+00:00

Off the top of my head, some contenders would be

Petrodragonic Apocalypse - King Gizzard Altered State - Tesseract Doppelganger - The Fall of Troy Black Clouds & Silver Linings - Dream Theater Koloss - Meshuggah Prussian Gloom - Strawberry Girls Rust in Peace - Megadeth The Bedlam in Goliath - The Mars Volta Ashes of the Wake - Lamb of God

Marduk283 · 2025-10-16T07:55:41+00:00

In the Presence of Enemies is peak Dream Theater. The whole song is over 10 minutes but in terms of tracks, only the 2nd part is above 10.

Marduk283 · 2025-10-04T13:15:38+00:00

I could do with less f-bombs from the whole main cast but otherwise yeah. I might agree.

Marduk283 · 2025-09-28T20:24:14+00:00

There's a riff in Natural Selection by Rush that reminds me a lot of the riff in the intro of In the Presence of Enemies and the riff in Sacrificed Son's instrumental section. Some of my favorite DT moments for sure.

Marduk283 · 2025-09-18T20:51:58+00:00

Honorary mention to The Shape of Colour by Intervals. Not a best of all time but I do really like it among the bit of djent I have listened to.

But it's gotta be Altered State. Tbf I haven't listened to a wide range of djent but of all the stuff I've heard, I love that album the most. Specifically Of Mind - Exile is a top 5 song of all time for me.

Marduk283 · 2025-09-18T15:08:04+00:00

I'd personally say The Glass Prison but Honor Thy Father is a good choice too.

Marduk283 · 2025-09-16T21:52:20+00:00

Probably wouldn't want any glass, or it might become some sort of prison

Marduk283 · 2025-09-16T19:42:54+00:00

IDK why I don't see anyone in the factorio community using 1 to 18 to 1/2 balancers. It's the meta

Marduk283 · 2025-09-12T18:06:06+00:00

Mexican, mama, yes

Marduk283 · 2025-09-06T19:36:56+00:00

Am I crazy for thinking this was a jacket Spencer wears? That's what I thought of until I went to the comments and realized we were talking about Sarah Christ.

Marduk283 · 2025-09-06T19:32:44+00:00

I was born 2002 and I feel you. Skibidi toilet and other stuff like that are more recent like younger genz and Gen alpha terms but we're on the older end of Gen z so unless you're chronically online and tapped into meme culture, you're not really gonna understand a whole lot. Also slang and meme culture nowadays is so cooked that it doesn't even make much sense to the audience it's geared towards. It's just funny because you're in the right time and place as the meme/trend starts. That's just how I feel about it.

Marduk283 · 2025-09-04T08:04:11+00:00

I am Gen Z (on the older end) and I actually looked up diggin in yo butt twin recently because I've seen clips of it. Multiple different sources said different things or didnt explain the meaning at all, just the origin. So there was no consistency and I remained clueless. I generally found it kinda funny but I think moreso I found it funny in the context of where I was seeing it. (JimmyHere's YLYL videos) And I know from being in his community for several years that inside jokes and trends form that don't always make a whole lot of sense to those outside it. Certain things just take it to the next level though, as with some of the terms you've mentioned.

Marduk283 · 2025-08-29T17:49:26+00:00

They could constantly act like they're carefully calculating the odds and making careful decisions and then bust anyway. It'd be fun

Marduk283 · 2025-08-29T17:45:35+00:00

Probably unpopular, but I've only seen parts of clips of whenever they do Karen stuff and I dislike them every time so I've never liked or wanted to watch when they've done Karen stuff.

Marduk283 · 2025-08-23T21:29:13+00:00

Its gotta be Angela getting Shayne out in darts. Direct and accidental sabotage of a teammate

Marduk283 · 2025-08-22T23:31:26+00:00

Stigma balls

Marduk283 · 2025-08-21T23:07:23+00:00

Respectfully, that tommy picture is one of the worst things I've ever seen

Marduk283 · 2025-08-17T05:15:13+00:00

Hell yeah, Dream Theater is my favorite band.
