"Dream Theater" vs. "Images And Words"

Dream Theater have a hard time. The reason lies not least in the fact:
The members are basically perfect in what they do and their performance, work and achievements of the genre are invaluable. They are the heads of quasi complex Metals and were progressive even in the early days in the literal sense.
The head of a group may, however, only as long as keep his position and his retinue useful as long as it is in the actually think about what it does. Again and again carried out tests in order to continue to provide the performance of the test. If a particular individual will ever find an error in the construct of the leader and this demonstrate obvious to others, crumbling the crown of the bosses and the fault locator shines in a previously unimagined splendor.
Error of the Great make the insignificant sometimes important.
This phenomenon induces course just to talk in the field particularly complex music listeners flock negative about the heroes. Especially when a stone was first set in motion. Everyone wants to make from now on the spectacular discovery.
Super example is a review of a critic who has even examined the frequencies of the sound tracks using a computer program on vulnerability and this has rubbed the readers so proud under her nose. Not that his fund would not be important and correct. In fact, I am also of the opinion that the sound mixtures were audiophile in the nineties than now. But it is striking that such efforts, even though the sound problem arises in many productions, especially with bands like Dream Theater just be pursued.
Must hold out one of those who often is Mike Mangini. THE NEW. He as a drummer in this genre is simply a prodigy, it is particularly rewarding to be critical in a negative way with him. "Juice and powerless, uninspired, mechanical, langweillig" What does not have to listen to everything the man, only that his critics may shine in bright splendor.

The other problem is that a band can make many people with nothing in the world more right, once you have once found cause for criticism. The development simply must mean change is logical. The repetition nobody wants also. But development, progression also means that the fans, be it ever so hard to let go of the often-mentioned reference album "Images and Words". But how to let go of his preferences a person. But we are not done. So we seek a renewed "Images and Words" at. It must sound only completely new. However, the musicians have to play even completely sovereign and may still show too significant achievement. That would be so self-congratulation and therefore unacceptable. It's hopeless. Dream Theater can only lose. For some at least.

All others I sat now a couple of times before theses that are to show why "Dream Theater" compared to "Images and Words" a significant progression means and why many do not like the new album.

-Images And Words had less predecessor, it thus had easier new elements take up
-deswegen act new ideas often helpless induce searched
-Images And Words was partly composed very simple and had some technical refinements. It was thus easier to hear
-Iaw Had a very warm and cheerful, almost solemn (such as Christmas or so) mood and spoke directly to the heart
-DT Is technical, cooler, darker and therefore unconsciously emotionally difficult to process
-DT Is musically a compromise from the expectations and currently humanly possible in the area Progmetal
-Iaw Had to meet less expectations
-DT Would not have been possible in full measure for those Formation playful and technically sound.
-Each Album is adjusted to the way of life of his time and also fits in just this one time
-The "Saxophone" as an alternative instrument in Iaw brings the majority of sympathy points.
-Iaw Was nice intellectual than you would today accept as Dream Theater with a belt.
- "DT" would sound horrible with the same mastering as that of "Iaw".
-Iaw Was in relation courageous and explicit about the ideas and acts upon closer view but as a Hitzusammenstellung, but not as self-contained as "DT"
-The Band is in top form today concerns what performance and / or experience. The music is a matter of taste.
-Iaw Is significantly different than "DT", which indeed applies or apply to many listeners as major consideration for quality should

These wild juxtaposed theses can as always be totdiskutiert. However, I am of the opinion that a listener an album always receives and evaluates his own wellbeing and lives accordingly.
Bands nowadays extremely difficult to surprise there and satisfy.
The new DT is certainly not an album, which should get one or two stars. This already frequently raised by me Entäuschungsbewertungen are not to be taken very seriously.

One and two star critic should have a few times to listen more closely and compare their expectations with reality.
Also with me the new album triggers not the greatest emotions. Perhaps this is also a bit on my own progression ???
