No love for Meshuggah?!
Byzantine and Scar Symmetry are some of the more recent bands I've discovered.

Love Scar Symmetry. What did you think of their new album? I thought t was a good step forward for them. Gutted the vocalist left though, he was stunning.The_Deleted said:
I've been meaning to get ObZen by Meshuggah, what's it like?
List bandwagon for the win!
Iron Maiden, In Flames, Metallica, Finntroll, Nile, Bal-Sagoth, in no particular order and probably excluding something.

Since everyone here is fawning over Dream Theater, I decided to take a looksee.
My respone: How can you ever think that is Metal? This is a pop song with distortion on the guitar. It's like Linkin Park and Evanescence wrapped up into a big old pile of regurgitated crap.

What it's like is awesome. By far my favorite metal release of the year.Rusty Bucket said:
Glad to hear you guys mention Meshuggah. They're one of my faves. Nowadays I find a lot of metal to be too stylistically inbred to hold my attention but those guys never fail to entertain me.
I loves me some Metal.
So far this year has been so so for Metal, in my opinion.
Really looking forward to Pain of Salvation's DVD as well as Wintersun's new album, Time. Which is starting to become the Duke Nukem Forever of Metal.
Besides that, while I enjoyed the second disc of Six Degrees, I feel they've not had a good release since Metropolis 2.
They still write good music, it's just rather.... soulless. Again, in my opinion. It seems intricate for intricacies sake. The music is fun, not bad Prog at all, it's just rather silly.

Overrated band imo. Petrucci is a great guitarist, Rudess is a modern day Keith Emerson, Portnoy and Myung are also very talented. But LaBrie is garbage, sorry, I've seen them live a couple times, and Chaos In Motion strengthens my point. He WAS great, back in his day/before he blew out his voice due to food poisoning. However, just because he got back on the horse, doesn't mean I'm going to ignore the obvious damage he has suffered.Rusty Bucket said:

honestly I saw Dream theater live was not all that impressed I mean yes they are talented but the music just did nothing to really grab me
Look up the song "As I Am" on youtube...i think it might be more up your alley.TheNecroswanson said:
They became heavier with age
Out of curiousity, what song did you look up?
You probably heard Forsaken or some crap, here's something a bit more Metal. EDIT; ahahah, I was right.

They're Prog, so of course their music will incorporate time changes that go from heavy to soft.
I feel I need to defend them a bit because way back when, they were the greatest Progressive Metal band, they released some great records.
The drivel they're releasing now is a sad shell of what they were.
Edit 2; who recommends As I Am? Wow, DT trying to sound like Metallica, ignoring their own identity, and that's also when LaBrie began sounding Looney Tunes.
