👴 Old Composer Reactions 🤘
Geebz: "they're toning down the prog on this a bit, it's less face melting"
Home instrumental section: Hold my beer
That's hilarious!!!
Instrumental Section: *cough* *cough* 19/16
Prog listeners showing songs: waaaait for it
Probably a tall order but I was hoping one day you would react to the whole Metropolis Pt.2 in one go. Regardless, looking forward to it, this is one of my favourite DT songs.
He did it with Terra Incognita, we just have to keep reminding him! (and hope there’s no copyright block)
Agreed! All in one go for this album really adds another emotional dimension when you get really stuck in with the characters (he probably had no idea what the story notes were about during the casino section!😂) ✌🏻🏴
THIS.
The old DT is good, then it turns into a repeat
That would be awesome
Myung mentioned in an interview that he had been listening to a lot of Tool. Thus, his bass during the intro.
This was a life changing album for me. Got me into "prog" and opened up my mind to a whole new realm of musical possibilities.
Same here! My first prog album, too. And my favorite album of all time.
Yep same. A mate showed me the Scenes From New York recording on VHS 20 odd yrs ago and I absolutely couldn't believe what I was seeing.
The big smoke sesh we had probably helped too 😂 but ever since, ask any of mates, I've been obsessed with Dream Theater 👌🏿
Same. Completely steered my entire musical direction. Had never been into prog before this, now here I am 20 years later still listening.
This is going to sound superweird, but this album also change some sexual preferences for me. You know, to have things left for the imagination, that kind of thing? This album changed me fundamentally. Then I discovered Images and Words, and then Tool and Karnivool, and my entire outlook on everything was just... changed.
The room on the drums in this album is probably my favorite of any DT album.
Home is definitely one of DT's high points in general.
The snare is a masterful tune. And the overheads catching all those random little accent cymbals and stacks is worth a kiss for sure. Drum sound is amazing on metropolis 2
The intro is one of the sickest pieces of music ever written, the riffs is just special and out of this world.. And that outro is one of the most complicated yet amazing outros ever !! What a Masterpiece !
The outro is also sick imo.... 😉😉😉
I've listened to this entire album front to back maybe 200 times in my years. Amazing work.
One of the best bass performance in DT history.
DT's best album, as far as I am concerned. This song leads directly into Dance of Eternity, which I believe you have heard. It's the one with 100+ time signature changes. :)
If you like this one, you may want to check out an earlier DT album called Awake, especially the tracks The Mirror/Lie
I think it's the greatest album ever made. Peace
@BigIsk52 100% agree with you.
Learning to Live is a tear-jerker.
A masterpiece, the last few minutes of that song are absolute gold
For heavier, more "ballsy" Dream Theater, try any track from Train of Thought or any of a few tracks from Awake. AMEND: I just remembered you did "This Dying Soul" in an extended track session few months ago, that's off Train of Thought. So you do have some experience with DT's heavier side. That said, they've got a lot more tracks from the 2 albums I mentioned, plus other heavy stuff from other albums, to keep fans of their more metal side very happy.
Honor Thy Father would be a great one. Or Lie (the Greatest Hit version with the drum intro)
I feel like Awake in particular is super underlooked/underrated.
Portnoy re-joined the band, apparently. I'm expecting more balls to the walls DT now🔥
So excited!!!!
@@laurabuer4714 🔥🔥🔥
🎉🔥
Blue dyed ballz?
You're gonna be disappointed then if you're expecting them to be anything like they were 25 years ago. They've all changed, and no it wasnt just bc Portnoy left the band, he wasn't the sole factor for why they were great. Idk why people say this kind of stuff, it never makes sense to me
Thanks for uploading this Geebz! This is definitely in my top 3 DT songs! It’s absolutely amazing! Awwwwright!
FYI r lead singer on the VERY 1st DT album was the only one that was different. His name was Charlie Dominici who recently passed away this past year in 2023. All other albums since have had James LaBrue on lead vocals with John Petrucci and/or Mike Portnoy on harmony vocals on select songs
This is DT's best album, IMO. This track is definitely one of my faves!
Same here my friend
I took my stepdaughter to the Masonic in San Francisco for her first concert. She was 18. They played this whole album, and it was magical.
She's almost 21 now, and still wears the concert T shirt.
super sick! ive wanted to see that show
@@VoidMaker407 That venue was absolutely stunning, and I've got some great pictures of Petrucci looking at our row.
Saw them on the same tour in Santiago. They played great!
Yessss let's go classic DT!
Hell's Kitchen + Lines in the Sand next please
I understand what you mean by staying in the pocket. It's very organic in it's changes.
LaBrie on records and LaBrie live are two very different animals. He also have problems with his high notes today a well, which is natural for everyone as we get older. Scenes From a Memory already were in a more comfortable range for him, than Images and Words and Awake.
Jordan is their third keyboard player, previous were Kevin Moore and Derek Sherinian.
Love the phrygian dominant scales here. You definitely need to listen to this album full, it's an experience
Still my favorite drum sound from any album, probably.
Agreed. There’s a life to them that just isn’t captured in most recordings these days.
My favourite track off my favourite Dream Theater album. Fantastic.
Best album ever made in the history of music. I've shown to a few people that are not even rock fans and they all loved it. Everyone should experience this masterpiece.
I have listened to this song, and this album, so many times, and it's never getting old. Pure masterpiece!
One of the best DT songs of all time great build and build and hook. Can't stop head banging you this one once it kicks in
The bass guitar in the song is one of the biggest highlights to me. Such a simple groove can carry a song very far
First time I heard Home, i said to myself "damn that bass groove is very similar to Tool's 46 & 2". Even though I love this song and the album as a whole, I can't get that comment out of my head. It's like a curse
@@mramenlordi3098 lmaoo a lot diff from puny tools
A lot of their music is actually pretty straightforward. Problem is that people listen to Dance of Eternity and assume all their songs sound like that. They really don't, ofc they are busier than normal rock bands.
Yeah true . I've always stayed away from their insane stuff while introducing them to a friend.
Dance of eternity is a musical masterpiece, but very few can truly appreciate it .
Whole this concept album is just a masterpiece.
This is considered the best DT album. It was great seeing this show live in 2000. And even if The Spirit Carries On or The Dance of Eternity are considered to be the bes tracks, this is my favourite. This is a great track. Thank you to the guy who suggested this one! Awwwright! Still here!
Incredible album. Images & Words takes the cake for me tho
Fun fact, Opeth stole part of that intro riff (like at 2min) for the into to 'Bleak'.
Should have done the live version! Watching them play this is astonishing.
MASSIVE Tool vibes throughout this.
Yeah, I'm sure there was a direct influence there, in fact I think I read it somewhere a while back
Three Keyboard Players - Kevin Moore - 1986 - 1994; Derek Sherinian 1995-1998; Jordan Rudess 1999-current .. the song this album is on is their concept one “Scenes from a memory” was Jordan’s first with the band. He previously played with Mike Portnoy and Joh Petrucci in Liquid Tension Experiment.
I know "prog" is a notoriously flexible genra, but to me this has always felt definitely progy (with a healthy dose of metal). Maybe what you are hearing is that this is part of a concept album/rock opera and I feel it definitely has some light musical theater elements to it, especially the vocals.
Is it just me or do I hear a Tool song in there? The part round 7:55 reminds me of Forty Six and Two and the riff sounds very much alike just faster here.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure they said they were influenced by them for this
Home is the most special song from DT, so unique and I love it so much, Thank you for the video !
Geebz, based on your reaction to Home, Trial of Tears by Dream Theater is right up your alley.
Mike Portnoy is back in Dream Theater!!!
Hi Geebz! Another one to check is a Scandinavian band called Textures , they’re not around anymore but they are unique sounding in terms of prog metal. Pls check one of their songs called singularity or minor Earth/ major skies , its pretty awesome!!
The Mirror is probably one of their heaviest tracks.
This is my all-time favorite DT song. It's got EVERYTHING they do jammed packed into this epic off what I believe is their masterpiece album.
You'd really enjoy the combination of Hell's Kitchen and Lines in the Sand(one flows into the next) by Dream Theater, off of the Falling Into Infinity album.
At the end you mention Steven Tyler as an example of a singer who never had issues, but in fact he had surgery in 2006 and more recently had to postpone a bunch of shows because he's injured again. Singing rock and metal is akin to performing an extreme sport and when you do it professionally and go 100% night after night on tours, it's very hard not to get any injuries, unfortunately.
This was one of the best live shows I’ve ever seen. My friends and I bought this album the day it came out and we studied every track before we saw them on tour. Little fact for you, they released a live album called Scenes From New York on September 11th, 2001. That was pulled from shelves the same morning because of the attacks on the US. The reason it was pulled is because the original cover art was was picture of an apple wrapped in barbed wire with the New York skyline (statue of liberty and the twin towers) on fire. It was a complete fluke that the album and the terror attack happened the same morning.
Best dt album imo. Just the most complete with everything they've ever done well in perfect balance. Need a geebz react for the whole record
love this song
Oh man, I would love if you give a long shot for the entire album, it's majestic!
stream of consciousness next
being part of a concept album (widely regarded as one of the best prog metal albums of all time) I'd say the vibe of the song and it being mostly not all over the place is very purposeful as there are some other more proggy tracks on the rest of the album
You've missed the opportunity to watch the live version of this from Budokan that has a big meaty section of improv stuff. One of my favorite parts of the show for sure.
The cover photo of the album is Mike Portnoy, Drummer and lyricist of this particular album of DT. This was the first appearance of Keyboardist Jordan Rudess... Year - 1999.
Whaaaat! That’s Mike Portnoy on the cover of Metropolis pt.2? I can’t believe I never noticed. Also, what an introduction from Rudess. He’s got to be a top 3 keyboard player worldwide. The guy is an absolute beast!
It's amazing to be able to experience this song for the first time again through your reaction Geebz,
I gotta admit that for a while I was an enormous Dream Theater fan. I still love them! Mainly because of John Petrucci. One of my all time favourite albums is Images and Words and I have the guitar tablature book for it. Finally Free from this album really took me by surprise. It is a very dramatic and theatrical album. Spirit Carries On is perhaps one of the most beautiful ballads and guitar solos I have ever heard. ( That's just my opinion though)
It took me a bit longer to appreciate their other albums. I think I have collected most of them. It's quite addictive when you first discover them. The musicianship and fantastic atmosphere is unlike anything else I've heard.
Thank you for the reaction Geebz, I'm really happy you're still doing this :). You are actually one of the few music reaction channels that I find worth watching. You and Charismatic voice are my favourites.
In the lyrics they quote " I remember i was told there's a new love, for each one that has died " - That is a direct reference to Metropolis pt 1 on the Images and Words album. I believe that phrase is also referred to in another DT song. I just can't remember which one.
Quite excited they just reunited again... somewhat mixed feelings but anxious to see what they will bring next
I'm a huge DT fan and to hear you say that this is one of the heavier ones you've heard from them put a bit of a smile on my face. I'm guessing you haven't listened to Train of Thought yet.
DT at its peak.
Indukti - Ninth wave
I believe this album was Jordan’s first album with DT
DT has had 3 keyboard players over the years. The original was Kevin Moore, who is now a doctor.
Next was Derek Sherinian, who is my personal fave of the bunch. His keys just have a snarl to them that really went well.
Jordan was the next and still current keyman.
favorite album from them
check out Breaking All Illusions. Its another Heavy song I know you will love. This one features the 2nd Drummer, Mike Mangini. Who would stay with the band till just this last year when Portnoy returned.
Geebz:".. They are very busy, they are Dream Theater.. ". Thanks for this comment
You'll love anything by Orphaned Land. Especially All is One or The Cave.
Jordan Rudess is their third and latest keyboard player... The first two were Kevin Moore and Derek Sherinian.
Suggestion: An Abstract Illusion - In the Heavens above you will become a monster
Awesome track. You should try a band called Scale The Summit. They're fantastic. They're influenced by Dream Theater and toured with them I believe.
Images & Words and Awake please!
Makes me IMMEDIATELY want to listen to Dance of Eternity.. certainly a favourite
One of my favorite DT songs as well
this is the best dream teather album, i love solitari shell , six degrees, or whatever, images and words... this is the one,, sooo goood
You need to checkout the "Awake" album. Right from the beginning at "6 o'clock" it's my favorite. This album is a concept complete story. You need a straight through listen of it proper.
Also one of my absolute faves from DT!
Home is still one of my favorite songs. Check out Glass Prison!
Great track,catch the rest.
imo best DT song ever
This is one of many favorites. Try " As I Am" my absolute favorite
Hearing 'Home' for the first time, 16 years ago, was what made me fall in love with Dream Theater. A friend of mine had shown me "A Change of Seasons - Funeral for a Friend" before, but I didn't really like it. As soon as I listened to this one, my whole life changed. I'll never go without Dream Theater for as long as I live ❤
Home intro always reminds me a little to Led Zeppelin's Going to California's one.
This album is actually 23 years old
I'm still here☮️💜🍿🍿
This is by far their best album in their repertoire 🤘🍻
The singer’s name is James LaBrie.
Thank you Geebz
I saw chat say all their albums have the same singer but their first album had a different singer, Charlie Dominici!
I'M GETTING A TOOL 46 AND 2 VIBE.
This album is an absolute experience. And i dont even love DT that much
The Singer is James Labrie and he had an accident later in his career which had an impact on his Voice what we hear today…… The First Album head a different Singer and Jordan joined later but the first Keyboarder was great too…
James actually ruptured his vocal cords in 93 while on tour for the Images & Words tour. He’s been dealing with it for basically his entire career
@@rineran It was in December of 1994 during the Awake tour, not the I&W tour, that James had the food poisoning incident that caused the vocal cord rupture. That's why James voice still sounds magnificent on the Awake album which was released in late October of 1994.
The Glass Prison is a must
Yo Geebz love the video. You need to check out the band Wheel. They are awesome. My personal favorites are Dissipating, Lacking and Movement. Keep em coming
James LaBrie Vocals
John Petrucci Guitars
John Myung Bass Guitar
Mike Portnoy Drums
Jordan Rudess Keyboards
This is their first album with JR on keyboards.
So am I missing some song reviews since I dont use Twitch, let alone have the chance to catch those streams live?
You might be starting to like progressive metal concept albums. I recommend Transatlantic next. Portnoy was their drummer as well.
Spot on. This is one of the last albums where the music felt truly personal and more visceral.
Also, the singer damaged his voice via food poisoning in '94 or '95 and this album came out in '99 and he had still not fully recovered. He did a remarkable job on this album for not being 100%. But if you go back and listen to the '94 album Awake, particularly the track "voices", you'll hear what this guy was capable of pre-injury. Spoiler alert: any and everything
It always awesome to see somebody that dont know all DT songs react to them, because like in this case, everything was not prog till it became prog hahahahahahaah
I,m Getting Tool vibes at 7:55
(Fourty Six & 2)
Yeah, man! Home is probably DTs heaviest intro/riff out of everything pretty much up to As I Am, and even though that song is quite chunky and heavy, you're right in that there's a more loose/organic vibe to the way this song is written and it always gets me bopping way more than As I Am does. 🔥🔥🔥
Really, this album was one of the highest points in DTs career, imo. It's probably less sticky than something like Images and Words, but they hit a peak of storytelling in their composition during Scenes that stuck with me in a more profound way than most of their other albums.
I'm rambling, but long story short: I love DT. I love this era of DT. I loved older DT as well but this DT is the DT we're watching now.
Nothing is heavier or more intense than Panic Attack, and I don't think there ever will be.
Images and Words is my timeless classic album, as you said it sticks more.
@dodgrblu everyone's definition of heavy is different. Panic Attack is super intense. But in terms of just heavy I think of The Mirror. Feels like a container ship being dropped on your head.
@@jeremybourque7482In the Name of God comes to mind
Now that Mike is back with the band I would like to see a dramatic turn off events 😂 and see these guys going towards the music they wrote in the 90’s and early 2000 (until scenes from a memory) including Petrucci ibanez sounds/tone 🎉😂
Who’s with me?
That bass riff is very similar to Tool's "Forty six & 2", they (DT) even mention it on the live DVD's commentary track during the intro of this song.
I don't hear it
James LaBrie injured his voice long ago and this was several years after, and I'd say the 80s vibrato is more of a come back to regain his voice. And he is actually the 2nd singer, they had a different one on their very first album, although that often gets overlooked.
There's so much great music from DT going from Images and Words(1992) all the way to Octavarium(2005). After that is when they start to lose their way.
Even though Mike is back in the band, there is a big shadow hanging over them and that shadow is James Labrie. At some point they need to let him go. Rather sooner or later. The vocal parts are so difficult that it is just impossible to make it sound good live if vocalist has completely destroyed his singing abilities. So sad 😢
I was noticing in the chat that nobody commented that on their very first album they had a different singer named Charlie Dominici. Also there were 3 keyboard players in the bands career. Kevin moore started and was replaced with Derek Sherinian when he left. They wanted to have Jordan Rudess, who was not available at the time. When he was available, Dream Theater kicked out Derek to replace him with Jordan.
Earlier works !? This is Dream Theater ! Personally could never get into anything post Octavarium... ( even that album was a stretch )
Best. Album. Ever
But it is tight, Operation Mindcrime and this is close
