I haven't watched the video yet but I already disagree with your opinions
Lol
Yeah, completely wrong, I mean, he's talking in the video so he's already wrong
Lothar is that you?
smithfan22 Who’s Lothar?
smithfan22 😂😂
I love the one with the odd time signature
The Dance of Eternity?
*Laughs is 22/16*
Amy Stockwell he said the odd time signature not the 200 odd time signatures lol
I love the one i cant play on guitar
Ok I know exactly which one your talking about 😂
Can we get a top 20 most influential Cadri B songs??
That'd take too much time and effort. I don't think it's even possible to reduce Cardi's contributions to modern music to just 20 songs.
It would really need its own series where one song gets celebrated in each video
@@alexjackson8841 Maybe a whole channel dedicated to her contribution to the music world.
Funny but bite me.
does she really have 20 "songs"
The coolest thing about Misunderstood is how the solo was made. John Petrucci wrote the solo, played it, then reversed the recording. He then learned how to play it backwards and recorded himself playing it backwards. He then reversed that recording again and put that final distorted version into the song. The final product was the original solo, but it sounds so weird and distorted because of all of the reversing.
It’s the refried beans of guitar solos.
Well he said in the loudwire "wikipedia: fact or fiction" show that he wasn't that sure if that's that case, but it's indeed a great solo
I still can't really absorbe that solo tbh. It's interesting and kinda cool though!
For me, james labrie's voice sounds so strong on this song in particular.
No Top 50 for Dream Theater. I'm shocked.
"Why You are wrong to listen to any band Beside Dream Theatre"
DT has put put 14 studio albums. Since there albums only have like 5 songs each, a top 50 would be almost all of them.
@@darkdudironaji so?
@@timmackenroth148 Fair point
@@darkdudironaji their albums do not have "like 5 songs" most of them have 7-10 and even some have more, like SFAM and The Astonishing. Top 50 can still have plenty of variation
Should do top 10 Opeth songs next
notwastd wdym
notwastd
GO AWAY. DAMNATION IS SHIT. THERE ARE TIERED OPETH SONGS. A TOP TEN IS PERFECTLY REASONABLE AND HIGHLY SUBJECTIVE.
Have a wonderful day :D
@@franbabic5682 your sex life is boring
@@franbabic5682 I thought they were dull at first too. But you need to give them another listen. They're the fine wine of metal and one of my favorite bands.
@notwastd if you think Opeth sucks you've got shit taste in music and probably listen to Ariana Grande.
1. The Count of Tuscany
2. Octavarium
3. The Mirror
4. The Glass Prison
5. A Nightmare to Remember
6. Illumination Theory
7. Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence (All sections)
8. The Enemy Inside
9. Strange Deja Vu
10. Panic Attack
Just take off The Mirror and it's perfect
I love Awake and all, but The Mirror? But you put Six Degrees so you have my respect. 🤟
Can't wait for top 10 burzum songs
Don't they only have like 3 songs?
darkdudironaji Burzum has a pretty big discography
@@beatleswithaz6246 Oh. I must be thinking of another band.
darkdudironaji it’s all varg making random stuff in his music shed 😂
Yeah... we gon need more snob-lists!
I request Porcupine Tree/Steven Wilson
Man i'm new to this channel. Does Mike enjoy porcupine and Steven Wilson that much?
@@carlodecao4139 He definitely likes Steven Wilson, on his dream group line-up he included Steven as his pick for producer and for general musical direction
@@JamoboBorg nice
My list is:
1 A change of seasons
2 Learning to live
3 Octavarium
4 Six degrees
5 Metropolis part 1
6 The Spirit Carries on
7 Scarred
8 The count of Tuscany
9 Space dye vest
10 Trial of tears/ In the name of god/ In the presence of enemies/ Blind Faith Cant choose
Damn I honestly thought A Change Of Seasons would be in any Dream Theater top 10.
Me too.
Some people don't like it that much. I personally adore it, James' best singing hands fucking down!!
drealmerz7 z why because he doesn’t share your opinions?
drealmerz7 z no you’re just a pompous, arrogant piece of shit. You don’t have the final word about what makes good music and what doesn’t so stop acting like your opinion on the matter is more “correct” than anyone else’s. It’s not. Time for you to grow up and accept that reality.
Do an Opeth album Tier List.
We neeed one
Do the roar.
The MAN would be out of control.
Man, this was a great review, man. Man, I can’t wait for top ten Opeth songs.
*MAN*
Had to scroll too much to find this comment
Gabriel Alvarez
lol glad you think so. I made it in a rush the day of the video, I believe. Gotta be the first one to say it or you’ll never be seen.
Man, this is gonna be tough list to make, man. But here it goes....man
1. A Change of Seasons
2. Learning to Live
3. Breaking All Illusions
4. In the Presence of Enemies Part 1
5. Voices
6. Hell's Kitchen
7. Octavarium (it was either this or Sacrificed Sons but i went with the title track just because of the outro alone)
8. Stream of Consciousness
9. Home
10. Blind Faith
Man, i know this will piss some people off, but this is just like...my opinion *MAN*
ngl but it's probably the best I have seen so far, great list
Learning to live is amazing, my favourite from them!
I swear I just constantly find myself stunned at how rarely A Change of Seasons gets the gold medal on anyone's list.
My fav band. I love seeing unpopular opinions. Btw my number 1 would be A Change of Seasons
Same here. Then Learning to live
@@Dervin9612 Wow you just nailed my top dude. LTL is so underrated
Learning To Live would by my third/fourth (the other candidate for 3rd position is The Glass Prison), second Finally Free, and first ACOS. I see we got similar tastes, anyway ;)
But yes, Learning To Live definitely is DT at its finest, from a compositional point of view. I mean, the structure alone (combined with Wait for Sleep) is amazing, same for the build-up. Personally I freaking love this song, being one of the few that can make my cry.
Same
acc 320
Yup, ACOS is one of my fondest memories of this band.
I would put Change of Seasons in this after or before Octavarium
AngelofDeth same
That's a masterpiece for sure.
I think this guy likes dream theatre
Wth where did you get THAT from?
Just a few more DT video uploads and we can confirm it.
Nah
nah he actually gave credit to LaBrie's Vocals so he cant possibly be a dream theater fan DUH
He probably does but i am not completely sure
1) anything from awake
2) after life
3) disapear
4) spirit carries on
5) anna lee
6) room 137
7) sacrificed sons
8) wither
9) in the presence of enemies part 3
10) metropolis pt 4
pt4 i need to listen to this song
bro how about metropolis part 3??!!!
@@tommozzarello9772 bro im still waiting for the reimagine sequel prequel spinof and remake
Where is the Count of Tuscany and The Glass Prison? Great list tho
Well here's my list:
1) Octavarium
2) The Count of Tuscany
3) Breaking All Illusions
4) The Glass Prison
5) The Dark Eternal Night
6) Metropolis Part 1
7) Panic Attack
8) Peruvian Skies
9) Pull Me Under
10) The Enemy Inside
Honorable Mentions (limiting myself to 5):
-These Walls
-Endless Sacrifice
-As I Am
-Barstool Warrior
-The Gift of Music
I think The Enemy Inside is an EXTREMELY underrated song. I just love everything about it.
@@ls02011 The self-titled is under-rated in general, I personally far prefer Illumination Theory over Octavarium. I just feel like Octavarium goes too far with the atmospheric spaces which makes certain parts of the song feel empty. Furthermore, due to these "empty spaces" the song always fails to grab my attention so I always feel completely disengaged when listening to it for the entire 24 minute runtime. But to each their own I guess.
Hey, Endless Sacrifice is the first one I heard from them, and still today is one of my favorites. Nice.
What so special about octavarium
@@mariozenarju6461 I agree. Endless Sacrifice is in their top 5 in my opinion.
A change of seasons? If you don’t like the start of Octavarium A Change Of Seasons is the only 15+ min song that doesn’t drag on anywhere
I was really surprised(disappointed) it wasn’t in the list. This is such a masterpiece, the message and the backstory of the song are just incredible
Met Fan
See, the Count of Tuscany doesn’t drag on, either. Mildly surprised it wasn’t mentioned, seeing as Mike enjoys being controversial every once in a while.
Papa Broly the middle of the song (the keyboard bit) drags on a bit but I don’t mind because it’s a fucking amazing song but others might
Diego Silva yes
Eh I don't like it that much
Dream theater will be this Tuesday in my country (Greece) for a concert! I am so hyped!!
Hellas!!!!

3. Caught In A Web
4. A Change of Seasons
5. Glass Prison
6. A Rite of Passage
7. Another Day
8. In The Name of God

Never Enough is criminally underrated, its my favorite song.
1. Under a glass moon
2. The glass prison
3. Scarred
4. Learning to live
5. Stream of conciousness
6. Lines in the sand
7. Metropolis pt.1
8. A change of season

10. Voices
This is a Dream Theater top ten .....
No, this is just yours.
Happy to see lines in the Sand on your list :)
well his list didnt have a change of seasons and this one has under a glass mon stream and voices so its better
Am I the only one who loves “Home” from Scenes from a Memory.
Love that song, but I wouldn't place it in my top 10. Lot of other people would, though,
Very tool esc. Its great
Two videos from you with DT content in two days. That makes me happy.
For a while, they were doing something really cool with their albums where the end of one album would be the beginning of the next.
The record static sound at the end of Finally Free on Scenes from a Memory is the first sound you hear at the beginning of The Glass Prison on Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence.
The keyboard fade-out at the end of Losing Time/Grand Finale on Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence is the same as the keyboard fade-in on As I Am on Train of Thought. Also Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence is the Sixth album, and has 6 songs, if you count the entire Title Track as one song.
The piano note at the end of In the Name of God on Train of thought is the same piano note that begins The Root of all Evil on Octavarium. Train of Thought is the 7th album and has 7 songs.
The piano note that begins Octavarium, also ends the same album, which ends this cool little trend. Octavarium is also the 8th album and has 8 songs.
Just a cool little thing on some of the albums, but you probably already noticed that, being a huge fan.
Octavarium’s my favorite song of all time. It’s the whole reason why I wanted to become a musician and study music to the point where my main objective is to write a song that makes me feel the same way that all the movements in Octavarium made me feel. Compositionally, it has everything I’ve ever wanted in a song including a few things I didn’t know I wanted, even the overly long intro
Drinking game
Take a shot every time he says man
Don't die :)
I died
drank apple juice, epic win
Octavarium is my no. 1 that French horn 6-4-5 over the top of the last chord is actual perfection.
I'm really surprised that you didn't include any songs from Scenes from a Memory. That is my (and most people's) favourite DT album
I can understand him not listing any of those, it's in my top 3 DT albums but I don't think there's like an exceptional song. For me what makes it exceptional is how the whole album is put together and not the songs as individuals.
@@rolandilosvay9470 I partially agree with that statement. It's like a team in which there are no big stars, but together they make the best playing team.
BUT! Strange Deja Vu is one of the greatest DT songs ever. The Spirit Carries On is also a solid top 10 candidate
That's like Master of Puppets. Everybody thinks it's their best album altho it isn't. And just like MoP, it still has one or two of their best pieces.
It's a good album. Not my favorite. Not every DT fan is the same, shocking as that is ;)
My personal favorite album is probably Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence. Scenes from a Memory is a VERY CLOSE SECOND though.
I know nobody cares, but whatever
10. In The Presence of Enemies
9. The Spirit Carries On (had to put a Metropolis Pt 2 song)
8. The Count of Tuscany
7. Lines In The Sand
6. Scarred
5. Take The Time
4. Blind Faith
3. Metropolis Pt 1
2. Octavarium
1. Learning To Live (its just that good to me)
Cris KRA the count of Tuscany is such a good song
Learning to live is absolutely god tier
Aleksa Milovanovic It is
Cris KRA learning to live take the time blind faith and scarred are all stupidly underrated.
scarred is underrated as fuuuuck, best vocals from LaBrie hands down
Some songs I think are underrated are :
. Six degrees of inner turbulence (whole 2nd CD)
. The great debate
. Change of seasons
. Learning to live
. Sacrificed sons
. Vacant (although it's very short and simple, personally it's one of the most moving songs I ever heard)
Learning To Live... Damn, how much I love that track. Wait For Sleep being the intro to it is just gorgeous
Octavarium is definitely a journey of a song. The ending is extremely satisfying and the song puts you through a gauntlet of emotions.
*sits down on the couch and sighs, while removing hand from camera*
*frame cuts and shows him rubbing his eyes and moaning*
*mike looks up at camera with red eyes*
Mike: this is an extremely difficult video to make...
Opeth should also get some love. Top 10 songs/ranked albums would be rad.
Kevin Bartolen I’m guessing he wants to do all the Dream Theater videos now and maybe wait a bit before doing the Opeth ones since his fans (us) will bug him a lot when the In Cauda Venenum lead single comes out.
Corbin M
I hate to be a fucking normie, but I assume this lead single is for the new Opeth album?
1. Octavarium
2. Panic Attack (The whole album is amazing btw).
3. Metropolis pt. 1
4. Home
5. Breaking All Illusions
6. Ministry of Lost Souls
7. The Mirror
8. Fatal Tragedy
9. Dance of Eternity
10. At Wit's End
Honorable Mentions: All of Images and Words, Beyond This Life, On the Backs of Angels, 12 Step Suite, and Count of Tuscany.
Just a bit surprised we didn’t see any distance over time songs on here, personally I REALLY liked the album and thought there are 1 or 2 that could’ve been on this list (untethered angel and barstool warrior)
Haven't sunk in yet.
My list:
10. The Bridges in The Sky, this song is my ayahuasca trip 😎
9. Breaking All Illusion, I have similar vibe from previous song but better.
8. Voices, just listen it mindfully.
7. Trial of Tears, "welcome to the wasteland..." give me chill everytime!
6. Home, I mean the sitar sounds, the stories, the moans, what's going on here?
5. Metropolis pt 1, I like the instumental sections.
4. In The Presence of The Enemy, it has Castlevania vibe! Love it.
3. Learning to Live, this song sum up how I see the world around me and my position within the world itself, "I look at the world but see no understanding... I begging you from a bottom of my heart to shows me understanding."
2. Octavarium, a masterpiece but for me the magic is wear off if I listening to it daily.
1. A Change of Season, this song affected me as similar as Norwegian Wood to Haruki Murakami, I found a character to be writen by listening to this song.
Are you still working on that musical?
That idea had me intrigued and this video reminded me of it.
mason harris Also thought about that
mason harris
You right; I forgot....
The best thing I feel of octavarium is like there is a constant motion, and the entire 20 minutes build up to that last bend note of the ending solo, so your head explodes when you reach the end.
Really legit list I like it. Some songs I have in contention:
Stream of Consciousness
The Shattered Fortress
Space Dye Vest
A Nightmare to Remember
In the Name of God
Learning to Live
And a personal favorite, Finally Free.
Love that you acknowledge In the Presence of Enemies, it’s amazing.
My list:
10- Pull me Under: it would be disrespect not to list this song, a classic.
9- Fatal Tragedy: Iconic Solo that gets me every time paired with brilliant song writing.
8- A Nightmare to Remember: Similar to glass prison, a solid heavy dt song.
7- Another Day: this solo hits different to put it rather bluntly.
6- Dance of Eternity: a classic, with good reason. Just an all round awesome song.
5- The Glass Prison: One of the heavier dream theater songs, sounds fantastic.
4- On the Backs of Angels: A masterpiece, cream of the crop when it comes to song writing.
3- Under a Glass Moon: a classic, one of the best dream theater solos period.
2- Panic Attack: Definitely one of my favourite songs, a total classic that captures the essence of a panic attack.... Oh and with a kick ass solo.
1- Octavarium: Self explanatory, incredible song.
Metropolis pt 1 was also the first song by DT where I was finally pulled in. I was trying to find a song that showcased what made the band so great, and that song fits the bill.
Edit: Was noticed by Senpai Knight.
It's a fantastic composition
I'd say Voices is my favorite DT song. My dad would talk about Awake ad nauseam, and for good reason. This is one of many albums I grew up listening to and, to this day, Voices remains one of my all-time favorite songs. The dynamics within the song create an amazing atmosphere, the vocals are fantastic, some of James' best in terms of expression, the synths sound much better than on their later work (it's a huge gripe of mine with Metropolis Pt. 2, though I still love that album to death), the lyrics (while definitely jarring) are super fucking awesome. My dad would drive around with me and my brother and he'd explain lyrics in songs and have us think about what they mean. He did this with Operation: Mindcrime and Awake, and it helped me tremendously in appreciating great writing, especially within songs. Voices in particular is a song that I've never stopped listening to. I somehow still find something new in it that makes me love it even more after hearing it for almost all my life (for context, my earliest memory of this song is when I was 5, and I'm now 20). This song still gives me chills, and remains to be my favorite from DT.
Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.

in the name of god and the count of tuscany is extremely underrated
Mad respect for including The Best of Times. It’s arguably the most emotional song in their entire catalog. I was scrolling around looking for it in someone’s list and was not seeing it anywhere until your comment. It seems to be hella underrated and I don’t understand y, I think it’s one of their best works!!
Off the top of my head..
1. Peruvian Skies
2. Lines In The Sand
3. Fatal Tragedy
4. Take The Time
5. As I Am
6. The Dark Eternal Night
7. Illumination Theory
8. The Glass Prison

Mmmmmmhhhh... Let me guess... Falling Into Infinity fan here? ;)
I would put Lines in The Sand in my top too, I just love It. Possibly one of my all times favourite solos, too.
finally someone that understands how amazing fatal tragedy is
Your chanbel got me into Dream Theater. Thank. You.
Top 10 Opeth songs.
I know other people said this, but I've been pushing this a while, so...
TOP 10 OPETH SONGS
It pains me to say this Mike, but...
I agree with the WatchMojo list more:
10. As I Am
9. The Dance of Eternity
8. The Glass Prison
7. The Count of Tuscany
6. The Spirit Carries On
5. Pull Me Under
4. Panic Attack
3. A Change of Seasons
2. Metropolis Pt. 1
1. Octavarium
Watchmojo did a list in DT, fucking geeeez 😂😂
Yes. Funny enough, it's a better list.
Maybe WatchMojo isn't as stupid as we make them out to be.
no actually. i would like as i am and glass prison and a change of seasons from watchmojo's list. the rest is just ok
also panic attack
This is the strangest top 10 DT list I've seen! I'm a long time big DT fan and I was surprised to not see anything from SFaM or Train of Thought. I can tell you got really into Dream Theater from around 2007 onwards. Not a bad thing at all, it's cool seeing your take but it's very strange to me at least.
I got in DT in 2000. And my list would not include any songs from SFaM either (although I do like that album...). Not every DT fan is the same, shocking as that may seem ;)
This is a good list. Its surprising and makes sense. Like a lot of the songs that you picked and I'm glad you think there awesome songs too.
My favorites:
1. Octavarium
2. Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence
3. The Count of Tuscany
4. Illumination Theory
5. The Glass Prison
6. Breaking All Illusions
7. Panic Attack
8. Lost Not Forgotten
9. S2N
10. Metropolis Pt. 1: The Miracle and the Sleeper
Honorable mentions: A Change of Seasons, Outcry, A Nightmare to Remember, On the Backs of Angels, & Fatal Tragedy.
Love the Maiden banner!
Great list, and talking about some songs that are not exactly favorites, i would include The Count of Tuscany
Agree with many of the songs, especially "Ministry", but where is "Home"?
The mirror is my favorite and the alien comes in at #2. I dont listen to a whole lost of dream theater, but I love how talented they are.
the best dream theater song is six degrees of inner turbulence, 7 minutes of orchestra and the lyrics, the concept, the solo form "the test thar stumped all" is epic.
10- The best of times
9- the count of tuscany
8- stream of consciousness
7- EVE
6- lines in the sand
5- the ministry of lost souls
4- octavarium
3- metropolis pt1
2- a change of seasons
1- Barstool warrior
Excellent ranking 👌👌🤩
The thing about awake....voices, mirror, lie, scarred...all fit together so well thematically...theye have a contiguous feel/ambiance....hard to put any at the top of a "list", but I could loop those 4 all day.
Great choice with On The Backs Of Angels. That’s the song that really got me into this band.
I've had this idea in my mind for awhile, didn't know where it came from but it was there, and I liked it a lot. I didnt listen to a dramatic turn of events much, just a few times when I first found out about them (partially because of you!). That idea actually turns out to be on the backs of Angel's intro, I had never even given a thought to that being this song, but oh my god I now realise just how much I LOVE it! I think that has gotten me even more into DT. Dont get me wrong, I fucking love DT but I thought I had heard all good there was to hear with the universally accepted "good" albums but I'll definitely have to give some of the underdogs a listen again. Thank you for getting me more into prog, it's an amazing place to be. I see how much you love opeth, so I've been trying to listen to that too. I originally was turned off by the more guttural vocals but I think I've come more to just appreciate the music and the nuance now. They are all extremely good musicians and I certainly will listen to more. Thank you Mike, you've broadened my horizons multiple times now and hopefully more in the future. Rock on dude 🤘
Yep. I feel you right there. It's so hard to choose. That's why I don't have a Top 10 DT songs list (and I don't even know if that's a bad thing). It's because everytime I hear some DT songs, my emotions and my conclusions go different every day, even right now. I always listen to any DT albums, from start to finish, and at the end of the day, I still get to feel that kind of satisfaction.
So my epic conclusion is, Dream Theater is one of the greatest bands, for me, that exist today, not only because of the technical or emotional aspects of their songs, but because of their 'colorful' (if you may) catalogue that you can dive into. 😊
I'm just getting started to get into metal. Please make a vid on what bands to listen to and how to stay interested
Man, ranking only 10 songs is freaking hard haha, great job! I really like that at moments I was like "man, how did you leave this out", but at the same time thought "but your choice IS really good".
I'll give you my top 10 and you may feel similarly (or you may think I have huge bias to certain albums haha):

Top 10 Opeth songs next ?
I subscribe to your channel just because of Dream Theater, because you love them as much as I do😊. Thanks man!
Dream theater is the only band that revived my love for music makes me want to play guitar and get better at the craft which no other band has done that
Hey Mike, maybe it would be cool if you could share your favorite playlist via Spotify or something else. I'm kinda curious
I think The Best of Times is top 5 Dream Theater songs, no doubt. Even without any of the lyrics you can understand what it’s about, and the lyrics on top of that are amazing. And oh my god the outro guitar solo... just every piece of the song fits together perfectly
A video on your thoughts on the new Thank you Scientist album?
You are the best. You got me interested in music properly. You got me to start learning about music on a much deeper level and question why I love some music so much, or why I hate it.
5:45 THIS IS GOLD.
Nice video man.
In my personal list I have:
1. The Glass Prison
2. In the Name of God
3. Breaking all Illusions
4. Dance of the eternity
5. Peruvian skies
6. Take the Time
7. This dying soul
8. Stream Of C...

I’ve always wondered about your thoughts on both Home and Space Dye Vest. Both in my top five

Saw them play ITPOE part 1 live in Milwaukee last March. it’s so ducking amazing live,
John got up on this platform behind the band and started starting everyone down as they played the second main riff and I was borderline about to faint
Mike, give us some review about the Pyramid Theorem’s album&band !? Greetings from Rio !!
I agree with mike on he review of on the backs of angels it was the song that got me into DT
Can you do one for Thank you Scientist? Maybe even top 5 for them as they only have 3 albums? More people need to listen to them! The song Geronimo off the new album is creeping up there for me and so is Everyday Ghosts
Imho the intro to Octavarium could not be any shorter. It sets up many different melodies that happen to consist of long notes and long phrases, and it also needs to do that in kind of a sneaky way, as you almost don't realize that many melodies throughout the piece have already been presented - they just click right into place for you and you don't really understand why. Plus, it needs to fade in from silence, so I think it's actually just the right length.
MMMAAN i love your videos !
Lmao thank you
amazing top i love all about dt :P
I love that you named Misunderstood in this list. I don't find a lot of people who appreciate this song the way I do. I've never considered a top 10 of my favorite DT songs, so I'm not sure if it would end up on there, but I love the shit out of that song. Perhaps more surprising, however, is how many of their later albums you've picked from. Seems a lot of people are stuck on a select few older ones.
Love The Ministry for all the reasons you mentioned. I know exactly where to skip to in the song to get through the bridge because I cant sit through it anymore after so long

Metropolis Part 1 is the prequel to Metropolis Part 2, so I think it's probably setting up the story for Metropolis Part 2.
Ironninja777 When it was written, they had no plans on writing a part 2. It was just put on there as kind of a joke.
Alright, I went and properly listened to all of the songs from the list I wasn't really familiar with and I gotta say I absolutely love Ministry of lost souls, Misunderstood and On the backs of angels. I'm definitely gonna have to give the whole albums a proper listen now. As good as Images and Words, Scenes from a Memory and Octavarium are, I should have branched out more instead of just listening to these albums on repeat, hah. I'm really glad this list finally prompted me to do that. Thanks!
Also, when you start hearing number 4 all of a sudden, does it mean you cannot fast travel?
EDIT: Well, I just finished my first full listen to A Dramatic Turn Of Events, and damn.... these last three songs together surely have an impact.
MMMMAN WAS I EXCITED BY THE TITLE! DO HAKEN NEXT
Kind of shocked you didn't include anything from SFAM. Also, I wanted to point out how you included Metropolis and Outcry, which according to the side by side analysis of IAW and ADTOE, are each other's counterparts in the same way that On the Backs of Angels is to Pull Me Under. Also, it'd be cool to have a video of your opinion on that whole fiasco, the similarities between ADTOE and IAW, and how each song is structured and how they mirror each other. More DT content for nerds like me
Mike you should do a video on Vision Bleak, I honestly enjoy them a lot
