C’é chi dice che non dovrebbe essere tutto così. Copia/incolla. (Che poi secondo me non lo é) Guardate… secondo me hanno fatto una cosa geniale. Veramente. Proprio per questo li amo. Hanno proprio fatto dei capolavori.

And it's quite logical that it sounds that way. At first (and I think it has happened to many of us) I didn't identify the analogy with the previous works in the suite. In particular, I think what they did was supremely great, because it gives consistency to the work. At the end of the day, if we are going to tell a personal experience of self-improvement, that story must have our essence, it must represent us. That's the consistency I see in this 12-step suite. It's pure expression of creativity!

Man, I really love Dream Theater. Even listening to the same riffs (even lyrics) that are used multiple times in different songs really satisfies and brings me some sort of peace

I much prefer the production of 6 Degrees - Octavarium. They each had each distinctive personality that fitted the music perfectly. SC and BC&SL sound good but at the same time just kinda "generic metal" and overproduced.

How some people could hate on The Shattered Fortress because it "rehashes ideas" is beyond me... I think the entire suite is a cohesive masterpiece and the ending wraps it all together beautifully
@IveGotAMatch11 ай бұрын
Agreed! I think if they did that with a song on every single album it would get a bit old, but considering it’s just the one track at the end of a suite, I think it’s a great, unique approach to songwriting.

@@dissonantharmonic It's not "just a compilation". It simply has more of the leitmotifs than previous songs because it has to tie everything together (being against that idea on principle would be dogmatic, which is the opposite of what "progressive" metal stands for). Anyway, putting back all these past ideas WAS the challenge. Think back of the tritone modulation between the acoustic Dying Soul part and Root Of All Evil chorus; that in itself is new and someone with the username "dissonantharmonic" such as you should respect daring moves like that. Moreover, the reappearing ideas always feel "new" because of the variations in rhythm or lead melody. The song still features brand new riffs such as the post guitar-solo section. About lyrics I don't know, I don't pay attention to them.

@@dissonantharmonic yes and the shattered fortress is the end of the suite where they tie up all the loose ends musically. thats the point. its like saying the last chorus of a song is unoriginal because its just a rehash of the first 2 choruses.

I remember in 2003 I was listening to This Dying Soul and I started to notice some familiar language. Then I went back and read the dedication to The Glass Prison. I was 3 months sober at the time and had no idea Mike was too. June 29th 2003. ODAAT
