For example, I am the only person on this list that loves
> "You Not Me" and I like the whole song...while I cannot stand "Just Let Me
> Breathe".
No you're not. I've loved that song since the disc came out, but I've been
careful not to espouse that view too often around these parts, as it tends
to get me laughed at. I can deal with JLMB, but it's not up there with my
favorites.
And yes, even though PMU has been played ad nauseum, it still gets me fired
up too.

Here is my strange take on this ToT thread. I have listened to the disc a
couple of dozen times trying to "get" it, but I don't. I was disappointed
with FII but truly love about half the songs on it. ToT on the other hand I
don't even kinda like some of the tracks I actually dislike all of them. I
have actually tried to give my copy to five different fellow DT fans but
after listening none of them even wanted it for free. Now here is the
strange part, I truly believe that this is the music that DT wanted to write
for this album and that they are extremely happy with it. I don't believe
that they were trying to sound like any other band or that they are trying
to sell-out. They are certainly not trying to dis their core fanbase. As a
band DT needs to make the music they want to make for themselves or what
would be the point of continuing as they all would have no problem being
successful with the many side projects they are involved in. Besides FII and
ToT I love all the songs on all the other CDs. I did not 'abandon ship' when
FII came out and I will not do so after my dislike of ToT, I may , however
borrow a friends copy of the next album before a buy the next CD! ;>) I will
not be seeing them live on this tour due to a combination of not like the
new material, which, rightly so they should play most of and being so blown
away by the Fates Warning/ DT/ Queensryche show.

I've read many of your thoughts regarding ToT. As I was passing through a
very tough time at work, so I decided to listend to it when I had time to
really pay attention as a new DT album deserves.
That day was yesterday (believe me!!). Well, I have to say that I'm really
DESAPPOINTED. 6DoIT isn't my favorite DT albukm, but I do like 50% of its
stuff, at least. MISUNDERSTOOD and BLIND FAITH are my favorites and sound
wonderfull.
I really regret the direction the band is going to. Trying to sound like
Metallica is the last thing I would wish from DT. IMO, DT is way better to
go some steps back. ToT totally forgets what I consider their signature:
great melodies, heavy sound mixed with not-so-heavy sounds in a single song
and mostly for James voice. He has the best voice from any band born on the
last 15 years. ToT have too much effects over his voice and places Jordan in
a support role. Jordan has so much talent to a role like that.
PS: Just for the record, 14 out of 15 peoples I know that are really DT fans
didn't like the new albun.
It's a shame and I do expect things change positively in the future. I wish
these thoughts could reach MP and JP.
Alex
