Ok music, not much real talent. A lot of smoke and mirrors guitarwork. There are much better power metal bands.

I only like Soldiers of the Wasteland, Fury of the Storm, Valley of the Damned, Fields of Despair, and Black Fire. They're other stuff is okay though.
Maybe they aren't asking you to take them seriously. Maybe its meant to be interpreted in a similar manner to Heavy Metal [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_Metal_(magazine)]. I think the cover looks awesome. Its also done by one of the most respected concept artists in the world. One of the co-founders of Conceptart.org [http://conceptart.org/] and subsequently Massive Black Inc., the freelance concept art company. I think its probably more of a tongue in cheek thing. You can't think they're actually taking themselves seriously. I mean they called their album Ultra Beatdown (sounds like what Ultrajoe would do to a troll), I don't think they're doing it straight-faced.NoMoreSanity said:
i mostly enjoy "Starfire" 
Yeah, while it may be true that not all of their songs sound the same, if 90% of them do, then it is a problem. You could throw three songs at me and say "See?" but I've heard the other ones, which all do sound the same.
Also, I keep reading in this thread that they are a terrible performance band, and the music is sped up, to which the response is "That's what they were like then! NOW they are good!"
Great bands don't need excuses made for them. Plain and simple.

That video explains it all pretty much. I tried getting into them at one point because my best friend was, and then i realized that they completely blew. The repetitiveness is certainly quite a drawback as well. The only song I like from them is "Dawn over a new world" because it has an almost 80sish solo in it. I think they got caught up in Through the Fire and the flames mania, wrote all their songs exactly like it, and turned into drunken bastards who don't deserve to sell another albumTaerdin said:
Exactly. DT Plays with 100 times the passion that DF plays with and JP is 10 times the guitarist that Li AND Totman are. Not to mention Portnoy can actually play his drum beats and Labrie can keep his pitch the same live as he can on the albums. Dream Theater FTW!rockingnic said:
How the hell could you say that without comparing John Myung to whoever the hell DF's bassist is, AND Dream Theater's keyboardist knocks whoever the hell that other guy is out of the water! I said hell too much in that sentence, you'll have to excuse me.....djpuppylove789 said:
Their whole image seems a tad immature. And Dragonforce sounds like a Power Rangers spin-offNoMoreSanity said:
Surely it's up to the an individual's opinion as to whether two songs (or all of them) sound the same, right?...Please? Just because you, yourself believe they have talent, and/or originality, doesn't mean everyone will.
They do nothing for me, personally. Nothing at all.
