Quote: (Originally Posted by guitardude1985) Dream theater are one of those bands you either like or you don't. I think alot of it has to do with how mathematical the music is with more time signatures than father times address book. Plus, I think alot of people have general attention spans that last only so long because of the sheer length of dream theaters songs. I mean, a short song from them would last 6 min.

Also, six dregrees of inner turbulence is a killer album as well.
I have no problem with attention spans or off-time signatures. I like music that's winding and can go all over the place, like Yes (which has a song or two in the 15-minute range), or Rush (even though I hate Geddy Lee's voice), or The Mars Volta. DT's music just doesn't do a lot for me.
