Octavarium is 35 years of history of prog rock all in one song.

@JJ-ls6el 7 лет назад

lol wtf, dont bring anything new =/= meh. Master of puppets didnt bring anything new so you think thats a meh record. Train of thought didnt bring anything new so that makes it meh. K then.

@EchoSappho 7 лет назад

I only liked Octavarium (the song) too out of that whole album. Then I started to suffer from depression and panic attacks and suddenly These Walls and Panic Attack hit me, as if I've never heard them before. I understand you might not like the album, but just put it on every 6 months or so and see if you still feel the same. People change :)

@TheMoAndKay 6 лет назад

Octavarium is just style exercise. The latest DT disc with true influences and incredible remarkable compositions is SDOIT. The rest is "pure nothing and empty" well played. IMHO. ...and sorry for my bad english. ;)

@Snowfire6916 10 лет назад

To those saying that Dream Theater is too inconsistent, they are progressive metal. Not all of their songs are going to sound the same. They are very much a band that musicians like myself can get into, because it is never the same, they are all virtuosos on their instrument, and the mixed time signatures are awesome.

@Ariel-cg7cx 4 года назад

I've noticed people who don't know about Prog just kind of don't get it. Apparently it's a hard concept to grasp that an artist can have a changing sound

Yes, it's my favorite song by DT. But now, looking at this list, I'd probably scrap Panic Attack for Trial of Tears, and scrap One Last Time for Finally Free, and then I'd scrap Home for Ministry of Lost Souls, but the fact still remains that Count of Tuscany is still my favorite DT song.

The looking Glass 9.Constant motion 8.Stream of Consciences 7.The Shattered Fortress 6.Lost not Forgotten 5.Fatal Tragedy 4.The Mirror 3.The Dance of Eternity 2.Breaking all illusions 1.The count of tuscany

+zimbo1221 there are too many amazing songs for 10, so here are my top 20: 20. Panic Attack 19. Another Day 18. Lie 17. The Mirror 16. Breaking All Illusions 15. The Glass Prison 14. 6:00 13. Pull Me Under 12. This Dying Soul 11. The Shattered Fortress 10. The Dance of Eternity 9. The Best of Times (best guitar solo ever) 8. Learning To Live 7. Finally Free 6. Home 5. The Count of Tuscany 4. Metropolis Pt. 1 - The Miracle and The Sleeper 3.Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence (disc 2, it's one song so it counts) 2. Octavarium 1. A Change of Seasons

Heh, I'll follow your lead and do a top 20 myself. 20. Anna Lee 19. Far from Heaven 18. Another Day 17. The Root of All Evil 16. Vacant 15. Home 14. Illumination Theory 13. Overture 1928 12. Endless Sacrifice 11. Octavarium 10. Stream of Consciousness 09. The Best of Times (as well.) 08. These Walls 07. A Change of Seasons. 06. In the Name of God 05. The Ministry of Lost Souls 04. Metropolis Pt. 1 - Miracle and the Sleeper. 03.Trial of Tears 02. Finally Free 01. The Count of Tuscany Even now, as this list is complete, I see a lot of songs that I like, but couldn't fit in (As I am and Sacrificed Sons) to name a few, but that is what is so awesome about DT, even though you have a top 20 there are so many others that you love all equally. That's why they're one of the greatest bands of all time imo.

@TheMeslava 10 лет назад

@PlatypusBassist 10 лет назад

I don't think they put Six Degrees on there either because they may not have realised it's intended to be one huge track or possibly because most of the songs function as individual pieces out when taken out of the whole 41 minute masterpiece

@leonard_oakenshield 10 лет назад

Six degrees of inner turbulance is a fantastic album, but it's so hard to separate each song. And Scenes from a memory is a tough one too.

@DannyTheConsumer 10 лет назад

PLEASE, you all need to understand, this is a coffee band. You need to develop a mature taste for it before you can get sucked in. I honestly didn't like the singing till about a few months in but now I understand how it all just fits. Out of all the metal bands I've listened to, none has been more rewarding for me than Dream Theater. This is Dream Theater, this is there sound. it wouldn't be them without LaBrie (singer), and especially without Rudess (keyb). The band transformed when he joined and completed their signature sound.

@ichbrauchmehrkaffee5785 10 лет назад

BOOM! You just said it. You're so right about the things you mentioned, especially about the members. I kinda liked your comparisson to coffee. Sounds interesting. :D

@Mercuryscomet25 10 лет назад

One of the more mature and well thought out comments on here that summarizes Dream Theater well. Yes, LaBrie has good days and bad days but he's an integral part of the DT sound in my opinion. He suits them perfectly... it's why he's still their lead singer and people like Charlie Dominici or Chris Collins are not.

@ayylmao3617 9 лет назад

just a spontaneous fact, the guitar John Petrucci uses, is a Ernie ball music man and goes for around five grand not counting pickups

@olastrax2 9 лет назад

"Especially without Rudess". That is a completely subjective statement. The fact you enjoy post Rudess dt more over pre-Rudess dt does not mean he in anyway completed their signature sound. Their sound had dt signature written all over it ages before rudess arrived. Dont put Moore down.

@mstaverage8405 5 лет назад

@@olastrax2 moore was only there for 1 album, there was even someone before him. I think his point is they've had the most success/longest run with Rudess, not that the others are bad, but he has seemed to provide more for dt/work better with them.

@JesusAlbertoPinto 10 лет назад

I like your top 10. I remember not so long ago when I heard Octavarium about 1000 times in a year (as iTunes counter read). It used to make me frustrated that I could not share this band with no one, (the same story that we all read here from people who dislike DT). But now I don't really care and keep their music as a privilege to myself. For example, all New Year's Eve I hear Stream Of Consciousness so its ending matches the fireworks in the sky, like they did un Budokan.

@ArchangelJaceAscended 5 лет назад

"Learning to Live" and "Another Day" both have a special place in my heart because that's how my wife and I connected when we first met online. I had a combination of those two songs in my head and after chatting, I discovered that not only did she have those songs in her head but that her Facebook page quoted "Learning to Live." "To ride the wings of dreams into changing horizons." This line was incredibly meaningful to us both as we were both coming out of bad relationships only to find each other with a connection to a band that wasn't popular, but who had a very loyal following of fans. Dream Theater will forever be our special band because of this. I was hoping that "Learning to Live" would be #1, as it is my absolute favorite Dream Theater song (with Metropolis and Pull Me Under slightly behind it). However, this video has inspired me to go back and revisit Octavarium.

At 4:48, she says that the solo is done by Jordan Rudess. It is actually John Petrucci's solo.

@crimsonvance839 8 лет назад

That one of the things I love about Petrucci. The set up he has and the riffs he is able to play sometimes you can't tell if it's the keyboard or the guitar.

@MinecraftMachine2000 4 года назад

Yes! Her comment had me confused. Always thought is was guitar. That section is absolute bliss.

Metropolis 4. Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence 3. Learning to Live ( my favourite song) 2. Octavarium 1. A Change of Seasons ( may be the best song ever)

Not even in the comments...

Greatest band in the world. Not the top 10 list I'd have put together, but considering I don't know any two Dream Theater fans who'd have the same top 10 on their lists, it's no surprise. And these are still all fantastic songs, so great list! More people really need to listen to this band.

I was hoping to see "The Best of Times", either in it's full or instrumental form, on this list somewhere. Besides the backstory behind it and the fact that it's the last song Portnoy wrote for the band, it's got the same early 80's rock feel to it that I love. And that guitar solo? I mean, really, it's hard to ask for a better one.

People should try listening to the whole 12 Step suite. With the years between the first and last song it is brilliant how the recurring motifs work even with some of them having a motif which links it to the album it is on. It's a really strong set.

Solid list. So many epic songs by Dream Theater. Feel that The Great Debate should've been an honourable mention. Such an underrated masterpiece of a song. The bassline alone is a thing of beauty.
