UGLY truth about new DREAM THEATER | A Broken Man reaction

[@MetalPilgrim]

Should I talk more about Dream Theater on the channel?

[@100jdv7]

i only discovered them recently and i like them very much!! So i wouldn't mind at all!!

[@fayettevillecycle]

You nailed this review, man! No telling how many thousands of times I read “Bring Portnoy back!” Then when he’s back it’s “oh, Portnoy sounds like the same old Portnoy! Bring back Mangini!” There’s no pleasing a lot of their fan base. I’m just thankful for new music from them. “Standard” Dream Theater is still light years better than most of the other music out there!

[@blastbeatthefolf1052]

"Everything is NEVER ENOUGH!"

[@halldorsturluson1449]

So right, both are great drummers and like with most bands the new stuff never seem to be enough no matter how good. All of their albums are very good to great but of course hearing them for the first time is always hard to compete against. But then you could suck for few albums and the suddenly make an ok one and everyone thing it's great, that's happened to some bands too. But 2 great songs and the album 2ill be very good

[@MarcoPellegrino1978]

You saved me the effort to write a long comment. 100% agree with you and the video

[@fluntimes]

This album, as a return to the past, is going to be one that sounds like DT circa 2009. The next album is likely to be the experimental one.

[@fayettevillecycle]

@ i hope there IS another album! The guys aren’t getting any younger so it may be their Swan Song. Let’s all hope for more albums after this one!

[@TroyProsser]

I love Dream Theater - plain and simple. If they stay safe, I'm good with it. If they evolve or experiment, I'm happy to go along for the ride.

[@connorbrewer5202]

The song was good. I think it’ll be better digested when you hear the album in its entirety.

[@richfaille6244]

We are such a spoiled rotten society. We have five prodigy to extremely talented musicians that have been producing complex and thoughtful music for decades and too many people pick it apart, criticize, critique, rail against, and malign it because they can. Wasted time, totally vain in every way. Enjoy the time we live in people!! Keep on rockin DT!

[@mongo_sk]

Its true that Dream Theater has both the best and worst fan base, its truly unfortunate that people can't just enjoy the songs for how they are but at the same time, I understand some of the criticisms fans make. As much as I love James LaBrie, his voice isn't there anymore. It would pain me to see him go but I feel like it is a much needed change.. but I don't really want this to happen either.

[@colombanoalessandro]

I agree that Night Terror was a “comfort” track. This new song goes a step further, more varied, but still “comfortable” and this is probably why it’s been released as a single. If I know DT well enough, the best is yet to come with the full album. I am 100% hopeful there will be an epic song in the album like a new “in the name of god” perhaps 🤟🏻

[@mr.rhenium3167]

there is an epic its called "the shadow man incident" and will clock in abour 20 minutes

[@fluntimes]

The epic looks like it will probably be closer to a A View From the Top of the World.

[@Eccentrics]

The new single is bad ass. I think the fans are overly critical. To me the band sounds energised, and these are two solid singles. The rest of the album would be solid as well.

[@ericgorman9942]

After so many years, you’re going to develop a signature sound and a distinctive style. I’m happy they’re still going strong and even if they don’t change much going forward, I’m happy just to hear whatever is next.

[@mattharriss3835]

As a long long time fan starting at Dream and Day hearing Night Terror was like a warm hug. It was Oh I am so happy Portnoy is back. Nothing wring with the Mangini releases but.. it was a bit different. As far as this one being more of the same well... it is in some light but not in others. Only 2 songs out there right now and I think it'll be how they all they fit together that will be the icing on the cake. I'm still digesting 6 degrees since it came out... that one still has me confused in some spots but I find myself liking it a bit more each time.YTSEJAM4LIFE!

[@nitsugamangore6607]

I thought the same! That guitar section has a lot of Steve Morse!! Unfortunately it sounds a little out of place to me. I don't know, the song talks about a broken man and that section sounds very happy! Although maybe that's the intention, considering the video shows guys having a good time with beers... Maybe those are the few happy memories of that poor guy...I dont know

[@kithkani]

Great review and breakdown. While I preferred the first release off this album more, I am one of those oddballs that like when prog bands go into an unexpected movement in a song occasionally whether it's swing, jazz, western, etc. and then dip back into ripping it! I just love the musicality and skills required to pull off genre jumps mid song on top of the technical chops it takes to play in the weird and constant changing time signatures at their pro level. I couldn't put my finger on the Deep Purple feel until you mentioned it, now I can't unhear it. Thanks for doing this one. Subbed.

[@petervargo1696]

If you haven't heard it, check out Afterglow by Jon Olivia's Pain. Sounds like that tune would be right up your ally.

[@bamahi7142]

The beginning of the song sounds more like a warm up session.

[@KirillTr]

The drummer in a band either leads the band forward or pulls the band backward. I've been listening to DT since 2004 and of course Mike is my family. However, NOW his return is a giant step backwards. And yes, these are my expectations and my subjectivity. After Mangini came in, the band reached a whole new performance level - outrageous drum patterns, and I didn't feel that the “soul” was lost. What many people feared after Portnoy's leaving. They created amazing albums, the band sounds more monolithic than ever, live - just phenomenal. All thanks to the band sitting on a super solid core foundation - Mike Mangini. The thing is, Mike Portnoy knows everything about himself: he knows he hasn't come up with a single new rhythm or a single new fills since Octavarium. He knows this. And I'm sorry he doesn't try. I mean, he's definitely listening to Animals As leaders, Plini. Tesseract, Periphery, Karnivool - he knows how to build a drum pattern to breathe new life into it. I remember at some point he became more critical of himself and even said that endlessly winning “Best Drummer” awards doesn't say that he really is. Now we also hear Mike playing old patterns without adding anything new. Because of this, the rest of the musicians can't add anything new either. Maybe someone will say, okay, technically the band will stay where they are or take a step back, but the songs will be even cooler. Maybe. But I don't hear that yet. On the other hand, there's a lot more songs to come. But these two are nothing new.

[@stevetech5150]

[@talaniel]

@@davidgraham3854 I wonder what "true fan" of anything, not just DT, means? Does it mean to accept everything they produce without complaints? I mean, even the great DT can produce weak music.

[@CCKaraoke]

I find that a lot of DT albums/tracks need to sit with me for a while before I really appreciate where I place them on the 'tier list'. I feel that 'Night Terror' is one of the worst tracks they've put out .. and I don't think time will change my opinion of that very much. I'm much higher on 'A Broken Man', but I also feel a bit underwhelmed. There's some nice call backs (The Great Debate), and solid riffing, but it doesn't inspire me the way some of my fav DT tracks have done. I was very 'mid' about 'The Astonishing' when it came out, but today I look at it as the best Mangini era album. It didn't completely work, but it felt at least that they attempting to reach high, and at times, they absolutely hit the mark. I'll take the full on creativity of 'Misunderstood' or the timelessness of 'Solitary Shell' any day over something safe and familliar.

[@jeremylewis674]

[@EntitySevenParanormal]

I know I’m not the only one who got diary of the madman vibes. There’s a couple of parts in there where it reminded me of diary of a madman, of course, rush, and I had a metallica vibe from their latest album. The song isn’t terrible and it had its moments. I definitely liked the heavy guitar tones but overall for me anyways, it was like yeah OK whatever cool.

[@N1RKW]

They've been my favorite band for the last 32 years, and I enjoy every single song they have put out. Heck, they could reinvent themselves as a bluegrass jug band and I would probably still enjoy it.

[@davidr1676]

Dream Theater owes me a show from back in 90-91-92 . Traveled through cold weather for almost 3 hours, arrived to discover they stopped in Chicago or Milwaukee because of supposedly too cold on the bus. We drove 3 hours and nowhere else to go without some heads-up. Couple years more and we knew people all over the cities. Oh well. Shit happens.

Almost every song in 3/4 time signature is catchy. There is something about it that is always calming to me. 😊 in my personal opinion.

Oh, yeah! It’s gonna be awesome if you can talk about DT more! And don’t forget about interviewing the members of the band. If you have possibility to invite them, please, do this! Rock on!💪🤝

[@GamingDrummer89]

The jazzier sections make a lot more sense when looking at the accompanying visuals in the video. On their own they sound a bit "fun" for a song revolving around PTSD, but when it shows some of the visuals of soldiers doing enjoyable things along the way, it definitely fits better. It also gives the listener a break from the intensity of the rest of the song, and this seems like a parallel to the contrast between soldier's moments of reprieve and the intense, overwhelming experiences they go through the rest of the time.

[@Joanmaofficial]

[@marziodimarzio]

I think it's great! Sounded like The old DT coming back to the masses. It's Mike's drums driving the beat I enjoyed the breakdown in the middle added a nice shift to the whole darkness of the weight of the track. To me it's classic DT a nice change from the previous. Although the intro automatically reminded me of Alien.

The two tracks released so far sound less paint by numbers than the new opeth album. The new opeth sounds like it's going through the motions. Broken man has that tasty riff at the intro and is honestly better than night terror in my opinion.

[@Hartbreak1]

After reading a few comments here I agree with Portnoy. The fan base… is something else.

[@stevesmith7268]

If it was the purpose to bring back the old Dream Theater, it was successful. For me however, in my perception, it was a paradoxical change. While the old DT is back, the different Dynamic that Mangini brought to the band that pushed the band to its limit in my opinion, is gone, and I can only say that I am quite disappointed. This is not to say that this music that was put out by the band is not listenable or even very good, because it is. But as I stated earlier, the very intense powerful Dynamic that Mangini brought to the band just isn't, and I go back to that Mangini era to be satisfied.

[@manuelsalazar3938]

There was no dynamic with Mangini, he just played and did nothing more for the band. He was just focused on a soulless technical prowess, he totally lacks the soul he used to play with when he was playing for Steve Vai. Just a follower, never a leader like Portnoy.

[@TheAxe4Ever]

This video is exactly why musicians should NEVER write an album, write a song, or did ANYTHING when it comes to their music for the fans. Write it for YOU. Do what you enjoy and the true fans will follow along for the ride. The rest that just want to criticize can go pound sand.

[@kennethnielsen3864]

Thanks for sharing.

[@fluntimes]

I don't get the hate tbh. I've been a fan since 1994 and there's one thing I've learned: don't have expectations about a new album. DT never really align with what you the individual listener wants or expects. This new album was never going to be a big departure - it is a return to the past, so if anything, the next album will be the experimental one. James' voice is fine btw.

[@michaellacaprara6988]

Portnoy coming back hurt DT and they may never recover I’m sad to say. All good things come to an end as they say. They had a good thing going with Mangini. I think it’s over. It’s sad.

[@AnangSangkuriang]

Bring back THE ALIEN

[@DragonQuarter]

The song was alright. I think "Night Terror" was better. The jam in the middle is definitely the highlight. I do feel the song's lyrical content is a bit too similar to "The Enemy Inside" from the self-titled album. Really the only thing that's bothered me thus far is the terrible AI-generated artwork in the "A Broken Man" visualizer and in Hugh Syme's artwork for Parasomnia. Dream Theater, Opeth, and Judas Priest have all used AI-generated artwork in their visualizers and/or album art and it's all really awful-looking, uncanny valley stuff and unprofessional.

[@ivanyiattila3547]

Since then, several bands have played with the Dream Theater sound, and they sounded at least as good as them, for example Haken, since then it is harder for them to make something unique.

[@rateeightx]

I'll be honest, while I'm not sure I'd consider myself a fan, I do quite like a lot of Dream Theater's earlier stuff (I don't really know anything from after Black Clouds & Silver Linings, but that and what came before I quite like), but when I listened to "A Broken Man", honestly it just felt kinda boring to me? Like it didn't really feel like much was happening in it, Which feels funny to say when some of my favourite of their songs are things like "Count of Tuscany" or "Octavarium", Which have long, somewhat repetitive, Instrumental sections which I feel like fairly objectively have less happening in them than "A Broken Man", but at the same time, It just _feels like_ more to me? Idk, I can't really explain it other than this. That said, I've also only listened to "A Broken Man" once, so it's possible with repeat listens I'll come to appreciate it more.

[@andyb8606]

Been a fan for God's knows how long ... And it's true: Their fanbase is the definition of toxic fandom. No other band I know gets talked down by their own fans than Dream Theater. Whatever they put out, it's gonna get absolutely trashed or praised to Heaven and back. If they craft songs that are reminiscent of their earlier material, it's "they are boring now, they don't innovate. They always sound the same." If they do something different (let's take The Astonishing as an example) they are called out for "having lost their spark. That's not true DT." There's just no winning for them. I watched the live chat when A Broken Man released and wow... that was really wild. Some of them were shitting on it really hard. Especially the video (which yeah... their videos have always been pretty bad, but I came for the music not the visuals). I like the tracks from Parasomnia so far, really do. It's DT at its absolute core. Which I think is totally fine for a band who celebrates their 40th anniversary. Is it groundbreaking? No. But it's the tone and style I fell in love with many years ago. And that's good enough, considering they are moving towards the end of their career now.

I have only listened to Night Terror since it was the first single. They shouldn’t have released any other tracks before the album’s release. Just my opinion. I’ve been a fan of DT since the album before Scenes From A Memory came out. I can’t quite remember the name of it.

[@doguyucel4688]

I thought you will talk about the way the band or Hugh Syme used AI for the recent artworks (single covers and the album cover), because people are discussing this more than the song itself. To me the new covers are really very below to DT standards. That makes me sad. The visuals they use in concerts are great but these Parasomnia art is looking very artificial.

[@bjornzimmermann6554]

Took me a few times listening to a broken man to get into the song. Night terror has had a great hookline and sits well in your ear. A broken man not so much. But i really like it exept a few parts. Rudess key Solo for instance is...boring. Its the same Rudess solo again and again. Technically absolutly brilliant, cool sounds but it feels like i have heard this solo 1000 times before. And i say that as a keyboarder myself ;-) A broken man might not be the best song from DT, but solid with some really cool parts and a brutal sound. And maybe this song leads to a epic next song ;-)

I still think these new tracks have that edge that nothing has had since Portnoy left. That's not to say there isn't a lot of good stuff with Mangini because I do like some of that. Mainly Dramatic Turn of Events and View From the Top of the World, but these 2 new tracks sound better than anything I've heard since Portnoy left. That doesn't mean Mangini isn't an awesome drummer and that DT didn't make some good music with him so for anyone else who wants to be butthurt about someone saying this band is way better with Portnoy in it, I guess maybe go cry about it.

[@stevesmith7268]

I wouldn't cry about it, to each his own. Read my other comments here.

[@Kevinacharles]

I don't really get that, Night Terror was really average. I much prefer A Broken Man. I don't think either are amazing songs, though TBH. The Mangini era is totally underrated and I honestly believe that had Portnoy played the drums on those albums, people would view them differently. Not because of Portnoy's drumming, but simply because it was Portnoy playing.

[@filheim]

People are just confusing chops and style...Portnoy is all about the style he created fusing Neil, Bonzo, Moon and Ringo all in one package. Having a style is way harder than just being the fastest guy in the room.

[@stevesmith7268]

Portnoy and Mangini are great drummers, but Mangini brought a strength which changed the band, with a wider vocabulary as a drummer, not just the speed aspect. All in all, the players in the band are all class act and are doing what they do.

@ I felt exactly the same. It was so obviously AI. And it didn’t trigger any emotions, which feels like a very strange choice for a song that is trying to convey the feeling of PTSD etc.

This track by track analysis that the fans are getting so worked up about is completely the wrong way to “evaluate” whether or not you’re going to like Parasomnia. Here’s an example. What if this were Octavarium and the first two singles were These Walls and The Root of All Evil? Think about what you were not hearing until the day of the album release…RIGHT?? Panic Attack and Octavarium. Now, don’t you agree that what we are hearing with this new album is excellent when you set yourself up with the right expectations? Parasomnia, so far - We don’t have an instrumental and the epic Shadowman yet. When we do get access to these we’re all going to LOVE them.

DT pays too much attention to their fanbase. It's a useless track, overproduced, everything is predictable when you know their music. Labrie's vocals boring me, same melodies again (i can hear the pitch corrections). The AI ​​clip fits the song perfectly. Dt has said everything, time to move, or die ! I know it's really difficult to move on after 30 years, ask some advices to Akerfeldt.

I did a reaction to, but my video got blocked worldwide, can I ask how you manage to get around that?
