    Subject: The math of music
    Message-ID: <3.0.32.19980125134742.006930bc@pop.ici.net>

    My scores:

    WHEN DREAM AND DAY UNITE Score: 3.25
    IMAGES AND WORDS Score: 3.5
    AWAKE Score: 3.27
    FALLING INTO INFINITY Score: 3.36

    So *my* conclusion: The band has maintained a steady progression upward in
    their full-length releases since the first album, with the exception of
    I&W, which is generally regarded as their "masterpiece". Of course, all
    this bullshit assumes that the arbitrary numbers anyone chooses to assign
    to each song have some real-world concrete value, and that subjective
    personal issues have now bearing on the ratings. I could just as easily
    have changed the numbers above to make them come out to whatever the hell I
    wanted them to say, much as I'm sure the original poster did.
    TRUE conclusion: This so-called "mathematical model" is about as reliable
    as the clueless reviews in magazines that we are always deriding on this
    list. Why should we believe *anyone's* "4-star" rating? Just because they
    are a fan? I think not.

    Jesus Christ. I usually don't reply to blatant obnoxiousness like this,
    but I had to. Arash has just been trying to get us into one of his new
    favorite bands, and he gets this oh-so-mature "Arashole" response. I urge
    you to consider your own advice in stopping to think before you post.
    Posts like this are completely unnecessary and it leads to other posts that
    _should_ be unnecessary (like mine right now). If you're not interested in
    the band or don't agree with his methods of pushing them, ignore them and
    avoid the infantile personal attacks.

    Message-ID: <34CB81AF.513B@ic3.ithaca.edu>

    Can someone please tell me why everyone has a problem with Innocence
    Faded ??? I keep seeing people bashing it here, and it's beginning to
    piss me off. Innocence Faded is probably one of my 10 favorite Dream
    Theater songs, and I truly wish they would play it as much a they play
    songs like Pull Me Under. Can someone please tell me whats so bad about
    it? There's so much I love about it...the guitar intro...the vocals
    section when Labrie hits that high note on the line "Wearing apathetic
    displays, sharing flesh like envy in cages..." I love the guitar solo.
    And the local radio station here, (well one of 2 at my school) has all
    the DT albums and I call a few times a week and request a DT song, and
    other than Metropolis, Another Day, Ytsejam, and Lines in the Sand, it's
    one of the most frequently played DT songs on there.

    I just read some jerk off who made a rating system of 1 to 5 for DT
    songs. This guy must have his thumb up his ass. He's obviously into
    Dream Theater entirely for the "balls and chunk" aspect of it. He's
    probably one of those jerks that thinks DT shows are the places for mosh
    pits...ya know waht? THEY'RE NOT! You want balls and chunk? Go listen
    to some Slayer. (no disrespect to Slayer...I'm a fan myself) But damn
    it, I'm sick and tired of this shit. I'm not even gonna go into the
    mosh thing! The last thing I want at a DT show is some 16 year old
    faggot hitting me in the head. This fucker had songs like Hollow Years,
    Anna Lee, Another Day, Take Away My Pain, LSOAD, Innocence Faded, and
    Surrounded ranked as 1's and 0's, yet songs like The Mirror, Lie,
    Metropolis, and LITS ranked much higher. Now I love all those songs,
    but it's become obvious to me that this idiot has the idea that "songs
    like Anna Lee are pussy songs, cuz they're not heavy and fast." That
    attitude just pisses me off. I'm sorry I'm coming off as an asshole
    here...but I'm really sick and tired of this shit!

    For all you jammers that frequently browse LSOAR, check out our new
    messageboard. It's kinda cheesey, but it's a chance to drop a line to
    other people who check it out, also it gives you a chance to advertise
    stuff for free. Also, if someone wants to make a graphic to link to it
    from LSOAR I could use one...you'll get credit for it, and who knows maybe
    I'll be able to come up with some way to reward ya for your efforts.
    Normally I'd design one myself, but right now my only access to the net is
    in a computer lab, so I can't really do graphic design here. Have fun,
    keep it clean, and keep on Ytsejammin'

    As long as you have the song in a tangible form (tape, sheet music, etc)
    it is technically copyrighted. But just having it in some form doesn't do
    you much good in the case of somebody making an infringement claim against
    you. Therefore, you need some way to place a date on the song's creation.
    You can do this one of two ways: the real way or the "poor man's" way. The
    real way is to register it in Washington. The "poor man's copyright" is
    simply mailing a copy of the tape to yourself (but DON'T OPEN IT). That
    way you have the postmarked date as a reference. There are certain
    benefits to registering it the real way, but if you're pressed for cash or
    are lazy, then the poor-man's way will get the job done.
            As far as whether you can copy an idea or fragment, there is no
    reason that you couldn't, but you're looking at a lot of paper work or
    trips to the post office. I would suggest copyrighting a fragment when:
            1) You're going to collaborate w/ other writers
            2) You're going to perform it live

    P.S. As an ammendment to my post about Firehouse, there actually is some
    DTC there. In Metal Edge's year-end issue, they asked a bunch of rockers
    their top five favorite albums on 1997 and Bill Leverty (Firehouse
    guitarist) named FII as his third pick

    Ok guys, I'm a little behind on jams, and I realize that this might
    be a little late. I'm sorry if I'm rehashing what someone else
    already posted.

    I got Kadath Decoded about a month ago now from lasers edge.
    I think the music itself could probably be worth all Ken's raving
    about it. Imagine spanish guitar and piano going to electric with
    eerie synth noises going to some nightmare noises and, in one
    song, cats yowling. :)

    The singers were a little annoying at first, but that's just IMHO.
    It all depends on your taste. They just didn't seem as if they
    were as right on as they could be. Otherwise, I think the album
    is really good. The overall story is taken from one of J.P.
    Lovecraft's books, and is about a man who dreams about the city
    of Kadath every night. Pretty cool stuff.

    Like I said, I hope I'm not repeating anybody.

    Got a question for y'all...

    Can anybody point me to some Divine Regale sound files on the web? I found
    the official web page out there, but sounds were "coming soon". :-( I think
    these were the guys that opened for FW recently, right? I found a CD of
    theirs on Metal Blade in the store, and I wanted to give 'em a try before I
    bought it. Private e-mail would be fine. Thanks a lot.

    I won't say anything about Arash, except it's a pretty safe bet he's never
    read 'How to Make Friends and Influence People'.

    And Empty Tremor? Well...you know, I spent the better part of yesterday
    combing the Web checking out bands that I've been meaning to, well, check
    out, and I've come to the following conclusion: just because a band is
    'prog' and therefore contains a lot of the elements that I love so well,
    does not mean that I will find them at all compelling.

    Empty Tremor? Wow, they do have chops to burn, but then so do most 'prog'
    bands. And given their ages, you've really got to think that they are onto
    something. Mayadome? Same thing.

    But is anyone else but me getting sick of 'prog' cliches? I mean, get a
    drummer that has mastered the double bass (and therefore plays NOTHING
    else) and a guitarist, bassist, and keybordist who can play unison,
    repeating sixteenth-note patterns, and BOOM, you've got yourself a 'prog'
    band. And again, I'm going off of only what I've been able to hear online,
    but I've gotten this impression from bands like Quite Room, Spiral
    Architect, etc. It may be a bit harsh, but I call it 'cookiecutter prog'.
    It's all good, but 'good' in the face of 'great' just isn't that
    interesting.

    After hearing a lot of the up and coming bands, I'm really all that much
    more into DT, Lemur Voice, Shadow Gallery, Spock's, Fates, etc. There's
    something in their sounds which sets them apart from not only the
    aforementioned bands, but also from each other.

    I don't know. It only takes me a moment to begin on track 3 when
    playing Images and Words, so does it really matter how long Pull Me Under
    is?

    Also, if Ytse Jam were twice as long, would it be a better song, and would
    WDADU be a better album? You'd probably have to count the song as less on
    account of rambling. To use other bands as example, one "Knots" by Gentle
    Giant is far superior to one "The Camera Eye" by Rush (still a classic song,
    three times as long), and so my opinion would be that "Knots" contributes
    more to OCTOPUS than TCE contributes to "MOVING PICTURES."

    Am still on a quest to hunt down and listen to music from some of the
    others, but just wanted to commend you on mentioning SAVATAGE!

    Rock on, all.

    So, every song kicks ass, excpet for the ones that don't. ^_^
    Very (and I mean this honestly) logically sound.
    Unfortulately, you succeeded in making no point whatsoever.
    Sorry. Come again drive thru.

    Yeah, I knew I had it comming... But let me make myself more clear... There
    is no DT song I don't like.... I just LOVE some more than others... When I
    first heard FII, I though YNM was a great song... but after having listened
    to it a whole bunch of times, I relize that it is not one of DT's better
    creations... I still like it though.... But your right, the way I posted it
    I succeeded in making no point, but I've come back to the drive thru and
    hopefully have successfully reorderd.

    Every song kicks ass... just some just get a little further up.... :)

    Hi!

    I don't remember if this was discussed here before, but on the Xmas CD on
    track 20 I can hear Elton John's 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road' (1:23 - 1:56).
    Have anyone of you noticed that?

    I've just seen three DT videos for the first time, and (sadly) I must say
    -- they were *B* *A* *D*!!!!
    They were all made in the same way, with some cross-fading and some light
    effects.. Even though I don't remember what songs it was (they're that
    bad...), it could've been any of the I&W songs...
    (yee.. I really sound bad.. ;-/ )
    They would really have good use of a new video producer ... or at least
    that's what I think..

    Go for it, Graham! To hell with the no-top-ten rule! To hell with
    open-mindedness!!! No, forget that...

    How about Vauxdvihl? I've heard quite a bit about them but can't seem
    to find their CD here in the states. Is is worth searching (and
    ultimately shelling out big bucks) for? I'd appreciate any comments.
    Thanks.
