Symphonic Prog >>> Prog Metal.

I'm well aware of how many people love CTTE, hence why I think it's one of the most overrated prog pieces of all time.

I'd like to see your list of the greatest prog pieces ever made...I could use a good laugh right about now.

And I never gave a reason why it's terrible 'cause that's just my opinion of course; it bores me to death like most of their stuff. And I don't find them all that interesting musically either.

I pity you then....As a band they are way more diverse than DT, and they rarely repeat themselves like DT do, every album they made was different...DTs songs could be on any album, its just random rubbish.

CTTE just strings along starting off almost moronically, and awkwardly goes into a pointless session to show how cool they are playing in weird keys together, and just plods along doing almost nothing except for extremely annoying repetition of "I get up, I get down." God, shoot me now.

Do you realise how f*cking hypocritical this is coming from a goddamn
DREAM THEATER fan?
Regardless CTTE is still
Far more focused and ambitious than anything DT has ever done....Yes have made at least 5 classic albums, at least 8 other really good ones, 5 ok albums and maybe 2 or 3 bad ones...DT have made what?...Like one or two ok albums and nothing but pure rubbish since 1992....Yes and KC have both been around for over 36 f*cking years, and they are still coming up with some fresh and cool ideas, while DT are still young and already drained completely out of creativity, and they get noticably worse album after album.
You cant argue with me on this, Yes are better than DT in every way, except maybe technical skill, but to hell with technical skill, i would like to see Petrucci construct a solo as beautiful as
Mood For A Day or
The Clap, or the solos in
Starship Trooper,
America,
Gates Of Delirium and
Going For The One...I would like to hear Myung write a bassline as interesting and spellbinding as the ones in
Roundabout and
Tempus Fugit...I would like to hear Rudess write a simple piano solo as gorgious as the one in
South Side Of The Sky or a keyboard performance as brillant and tasteful as the one in
Heart Of The Sunrise.
