The songs i put are some of my personal favorites, though i like almost all their stuff.

I wanted to put some effort into this thread but i didn't have a lot of time, so maybe i'll finish it later.

I bought their latest album and that's the only album I own of theirs. What did you think of it?

I love the old stuff a bit better, they have a different vibe to them

I do love the new album as well, and another one will be coming out soon, this time Mangini (new drummer) will actually be a part of the composing

Looking forward for that

But i think if you're wanting to just get into them i suggest Scenes From A Memory, Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence, and Awake

Scenes From A Memory, Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence, and Awake

I would also add "Train of Thought" to that list, if you like their metal side.

Btw, am I the only one who really enjoys their instrumentals? Those are amazing.

Of course, i'm an instrumental guy, and DT/LTE (Liquid Tension Experiment, for those who didn't know) have some of the best

I like their heavier stuff. Can't stand the singer most of the time though

James LaBrie's singing is like beer or eggplant, it's an obtainable taste. you don't like it first but it grows on you

it's more or less grown on me. he sounds pretty terrible in the live vids I've seen though

yeah he kinda 'squeals' and doesn't sing clearly in a lot of live vids i've seen, but his voice is pretty great at the albums imo

yeah definitely
