I've not the time I'd like to have for this first Dream Theater post of my entire blog. I don't know what's the matter with me. I'm not even sure I've posted much Iron Maiden. These being two of my top three bands, that's pretty lame.

Anyway, Dream Theater IS (not "are", as so many like to say) the tops in progressive metal, aka "prog rock". Each member is a master of his instrument, including the lead vocalist. They are all classically trained, and most of them now teach others.

I've seen these boys numerous times and own all of their recordings short of the most recent. This tune is off of that album we don't have. They're starting to look pretty old, but they still kick butt. Enjoy!

[this is good]

Pretty good! I heard them on XM radio the other day, not sure if it was the same song but I liked them.

I dig it... in fact, I like the entire Systematic Chaos album. When compared with some of DT's other stuff like I&W, Awake, and SFOM it probably doesn't stack up... but it's still pretty darn good. DT is in my top-3 of favorite bands as well.

"Constant Motion" is one of the heavier tracks on the album. It has a certain Metallica flavor to it, but that's cool with me. DT would readily admit that they have been heavily influenced by the four horsemen. Maiden as well. Keep 'em coming!
