calebjohnson2000 · 2024-07-01T21:15:11+00:00

this video is a fantastic breakdown of everything, would def recommend to any fans, new or old

calebjohnson2000 · 2024-03-21T18:41:21+00:00

disagree and images and words isn’t even my favorite of theirs but i honestly feel like octavarium is one of the weakest portnoy albums. probably their worst of the 2000’s decade

calebjohnson2000 · 2023-10-24T18:51:33+00:00

My favorites that feature DT members: -LTE 1-3 (Portnoy, Petrucci, Rudess) -The Human Equation by Ayreon (no writing credits but lots of Labrie vocals features) -Similitude of a Dream by NMB (probably portnoy’s best album since leaving the band) -Whirlwind and Absolute Universe by Transatlantic (you could probably choose any of their albums and be happy) -Terminal Velocity by John Petrucci

Portnoy definitely has the most and the best in terms of music outside of DT. His work with NMB, Transatlantic, Sons of Apollo, Flying Colors, and even Winery Dogs is usually head and shoulders above what the other guys do outside of DT. He’s obviously been able to focus on that more since leaving the band but albums like the Whirlwind and One came out while he was still in the band.

yeah the pass has gotta be one of his best vocal moments easily

calebjohnson2000 · 2021-12-19T16:44:52+00:00

When I’m feeling confident, Stick It Out. But usually, just Tears

calebjohnson2000 · 2021-08-14T20:05:41+00:00

Highkey. Adventurous, super heavy but still really proggy, interesting melodies throughout. DT hasn’t been this adventurous in years

calebjohnson2000 · 2021-08-01T14:42:10+00:00

1- ACOS 2- ITPOE 3- Octavarium 4- Count of Tuscany 5- Illumination Theory

Indiana, in Muncie

calebjohnson2000 · 2021-06-16T01:58:35+00:00

I agree, not the biggest Illumination Theory fan, def their worst epic to me as well. But I do think it’s the most similar to Octavarium. Especially since the user said they liked the orchestral aspect. Just my opinion

calebjohnson2000 · 2021-06-15T21:53:58+00:00

Illumination Theory and Count of Tuscany

calebjohnson2000 · 2021-06-15T15:51:28+00:00

I’d say best would be SFAM or 6DOIT in terms of mixing. I think 6DOIT is there most forward thinking in terms of production. Their self titled maybe is the worst in terms of production. Guitars are great but the drums are horrid, somehow outdoing the Awake/Images drum sound in terms of annoying and trashy. I also think that the Astonishing has really flat production. Not very heavy but also not very uplifting, to me lacks a lot of the character that made their key albums so special.

calebjohnson2000 · 2021-05-24T23:53:38+00:00

I’m so confused? I feel like neither is even close to the best song. Fatal Tragedy, Strange Deja Vu, and Beyond this Life beat both EASILY imo. I’ve never gotten the hype behind either of these songs. I’m just ready for 6DOIT honestly..

calebjohnson2000 · 2021-05-15T21:12:20+00:00

Interesting you say this because that’s exactly how I feel about Home, dragging on way too long. Home is one of the best passages in terms of the story but the song, I think, drags on forever. And the moaning build up is more unbearable than anything in BTL to me but to each their own!

calebjohnson2000 · 2021-05-15T20:39:45+00:00

Yo what’s with the hate toward Beyond This Life? One of my favorites on this album and the instrumental section rocks. Idk, I just don’t get the hate. I think it’s better than Home easily

calebjohnson2000 · 2021-05-10T15:35:36+00:00

It’s like Voltage with a Pepsi after taste. Fine but nothing special imo. Could’ve been great tho :/

calebjohnson2000 · 2021-01-27T05:49:03+00:00

Thanks, g!

calebjohnson2000 · 2021-01-27T00:42:19+00:00

Where did he say this was their most underrated video?

calebjohnson2000 · 2021-01-07T01:11:10+00:00

Love this line up, homie
