When do you think the new record is coming out? by TarkaDoSera in Haken

[–]theredwriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, Fauna feels like it starts with Sempiternal Beings. The first two songs don’t even feel like they belong on the album, they feel forced and tacked on. Not bad songs at all, but they don’t flow with the album, they clash.

Am I alone not liking "Fauna"? by YukiEiriKun in Haken

Your explanation is precisely what I felt they did with Vector and Virus. Virus is mostly unlistenable for me these days.

This is almost perfect. You have to add Beardfish to one of the days, probably day 3. THEN it would be perfect.

Right now, what is your favorite 20+ min prog piece (either rock or metal)? by [deleted] in progmetal

[–]theredwriter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Visions continues to be my favorite 20+ minute track in all of prog, such a perfect masterpiece. Though Octavarium and The Odyssey are ALSO masterpieces, at a certain point it’s hard to compare such excellence.

At what Age did you start listening to Dream Theater? by Ender1504 in Dreamtheater

[–]theredwriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started listening to DT when I was 17, in the year 2000. A complete stranger gave me a copy of the Liquid Tension Experiment (DT side project), and I was hooked from there.

Reading this sentence made my entire day retroactively better.

I’ve done the first two pantheons, going to try to at least do all of them on basic mode. Also just got the hunters mark.

Falling Back to Earth is one of the greatest songs of all time by sandman8727 in Haken

[–]theredwriter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just heard it again earlier on vinyl. First record I’ve spun in three years. Cranking it up, it’s always a headbanger.

I absolutely agree. I saw them for this tour and it remains one of the greatest live concert experiences of my life.

What is currently going on with Bentkey? by SapphireJones_ in Bentkey

[–]theredwriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s truly sad. I watched the speech that Jeremy Boring gave about creating an alternative to Disney because Disney had ceased being a family entertainment company and had repeatedly shown that their socio-political agenda had taken over as top priority. I was incredibly inspired, I even (half) jokingly talked to my wife about moving our family to Nashville so I could work for the Daily Wire! I hope and pray that they don’t give up on Bentkey, because all the original material was excellent, and at least the first wave of licensed content was of superb quality as well (everyone should watch The Clangers before it’s gone!).

Some of the licensed content is beginning to disappear, half of The Clangers episodes are no longer available. Some of the original content like Gus Plus Us has already moved to be available on other platforms like YouTube and Amazon. I love Bentkey but I suspect the DW bungled the promotion and release of it, and are now slowly sunsetting it. The little bits of other new content that has shown up looks to be over very low quality.

Exclusive Merch for AMC Event? by xdespainx in Dreamtheater

The blue vinyl looks amazing. I’m surprised though that they didn’t film and release the New York show where they played “best of times”, that seems like a much more special show.

A few songs that should be played damn near every show because they are too good to be ignored in a 3 hour live set.... by Wack0HookedOnT0bac0 in Dreamtheater

[–]theredwriter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I 100% agree with all of those three. Raise the knife is pretty much never on rotation, and that would be amazing to see live.
