I find it quite interesting that Dream Theater reeks of pretentious asshattery. They make music that teenagers who want to be good at guitar but fail to do any practice and thus fall short listen to; they seek some sort of the annoying [bleep]ery of John Petrucci. I have tried and tried again to understand Dream Theater and their music, but I simply cannot grasp how the music is interesting: interesting is not a solo that changes from 5/4 to 7/8 and cycles through A major, F# minor, E major and then back to A major; interesting is not the robotic vocals of James LaBrie (except on Images and Words, which by all counts is a decent progressive album); interesting is not writing a suite about being an alcoholic. The very definition of interesting is something that captivates you, holds your attention and provides you with some food for thought. Dream Theater is none of those. Happy now?
