I just read that whole DT/cringe discussion and I just wanted to say that I really think Dream Theater is a pretty awful band. I've listened to probably all of their albums and I still haven't found anything all that listenable. I mean, sure, most music is listenable as such, but I don't get anything from their music aside from mild annoyance.
I honestly find LaBrie to be a terrible vocalist, because while he might have some range, his delivery is overcooked, phoney and frequently saccharine in the extreme. To my ears, he honestly sounds almost like he's mocking old school prog vocal styles. I can't think of a prog rock/metal vocalist that comes across to me as more maudlin and with a worse way of utilizing his voice. At times, he's legitimately hard to listen to. Straight up like nails on chalkboard.
Then there's everything else I don't like about DT, but that's another story.
