Well. I don't know how WFS came about, but it was the first DT song that
really clicked with me. I bought the cd not having heard any of the songs,
and was quite surprised with what it was. My only complaint about Images
and Words, is that Wait For Sleep is too short. Come on. Not like DT can't
throw out a long song.

3. I have determined that Meshuggah's "Chaosphere" album is the rough

Hey people!
I just d/led some MP3's from Evolution?'s webpage [
<A HREF="http://www.ascensionet.com/zirk/evolve.htm">Evolution? World Wide
Web Home Page</A> http://www.ascensionet.com/zirk/evolve.htm ] and i must say
they sound pretty damn good! I've chatted a bit with their drummer Mike
(coinsidence? i think not) and hes pretty kewl too, so like, go check them
out and stuff! If I like it then SOMONE else on here probably will. They're
heavier than DT, but their singer actually sings. '(Intorduction To)
Corruption' is the longest song, at 9+ minutes. Give em a shot! And, no I am
not a member of this band, but merely an independant listener :}

Sorry, I only meant "intro" in terms of the music. Yes, the lyrics have
nothing to do with LtL, but the music is all just parts from the end of LtL.

Yeah, I ordered the video. It's quite good. It talked abut a lot of
stuff I already knew, but I've been playing for a long long time (at least
for my age). And a lot of it was very helpful in just recently breaking
me out of the musical rut that I've been in recently. So, yes. All in
all, I'd say it's definitely worth it.

Well.. I think Kevin's point was that they are two completely different
songs which have nothing to do with eachother musically or lyrically
(besides the obvious). Seeing that Kevin basically wrote all of WFS himself
(it's only piano and vocals) then my guess would be that the solo in LTL is
made up of parts from WFS and not the other way around... Then again that
could just be my mind responding to the way WFS comes on before LTL ;) Kevin
had a tendency on both I&W and Awake to become obsessed with a keyboard line
and use it over and over (or maybe he simply thought it gave the albums a
common thread).. I guess my point is that I don't think either song is an
intro to eachother (though I used to.. and it does sound like it on the cd)
and that is simply another case of the "reusable riff phenomenon".

>< I think a big factor in how progressive a band is, is the musical
background of the musicians. I see it that bands like SX and Savatage are
bands that come from a metal background and got turned onto more complex
structures and harmonies. DT comes from a very educated background, having
studied at university, and making educated rock/metal. ><
So you have to have studied music at a college in order to write intelligent
music? Yeah...
>< Each time I listen to a DT song I discover a new detail, may it be in
the bass, guitar, drums, keyb. or the vocals/lyrics. That doesn't happen when
I listen to QR,FW,SX... ><
Then you're not listening hard enough.

ok, while i agree with jim that APSOG is truly a masterpiece if you listen
for all the subtleties and nuances, this "is too!" "is not!" "uh huh!"
"nuh uh!" thing isn't the best way to argue your point :) moo.

Hey, I had a cool DT moment earlier today. I was at work (in the Columbia (MO) Mall) when I overheard a girl saying something about what I thought was Dream Theater. I immediately stopped and said "what did you just say" and she told me. She said her ex-boyfriend, or something like that, was practically in love with the band, so I was like "hell yeah." :) Nothing really substantial, but it was cool hearing someone else mention them withouth me starting the conversation.

As the followers of Ytsejam kiss the feet of The Ambassador among them, they notice an enemy ship approaching. It is yellow. And it cannot see. This is an Airtouch situation. Oh, shit! There are no cell phones in this galaxy!
"Never fear," says I. "Nelaskon will free you!"
So I summoned the force of another. The USS Fleetwood. As the enemy ship buckled under the pressure, they soon realized they could no longer make lemonade. They decided to go their own way.
But that was not enough. They want fruit, I'll give them fruit. Tangerines, in fact. They would always rue the day they fired on the USS Theater...

Part 4: What Happened With Derek?
Derek was a full scale drug addict and was gay and we didn't think his image suited the band. He also sucked at keyboards and we had a hard time trying to play with him live because everything he played live was totally sequenced. So in turn we just bagged his ass and sent him packing as soon as Jordan was available! As you can tell we got the better end of the bargain!
I'm too lazy to spell-check or proof that or anything, but that's it. Touch-typing rules as long as it's slightly legible. :) Anyway, if you want to read the rest, join the f'n fan club already!

I have ordered the video and am patiently waiting for its arrival. Unfortunately my review may not be valid since I only have one half of the thing to go by: the audio, since I can't see the video, but hopefully there won't be too many visual examples in the thing. If so, i will just have to have Jordan come to my house and show me personally. :) Stay tuned, a review is coming once I get it. Also, stay tuned, I went on a CD buying frenzy and bought three spock's beard CDs, U.K.'s first CD,a nd Ivanhoe's CDs. Can't wait. Also got the elp tribute album and Royal Hunt's latest and Shadow Gallery's latest and will probably do a bulk review for everybody when everything comes in.
