Literally in my opinion, DreamTheater hasn't made a good album since "Images and Words", sure they've had some very good songs on some of their recent albums, but as a whole most of their albums become dated really quickly and end up sounding like a mess of ideas. So, i'm asking if you guys think that Portnoy's departure was actually productive for the band because i read that he didn't start heavily contributing to albums until after "Images and Words". By far, "A Dramatic Turn of Events" is the best album they've come out in a really long time. Sure "metropolis pt.2" wasn't bad either, but that also was released 10 years ago. Even petrucci and myung said in an interview that they finally felt free after portnoy's departure, and just look at what portnoy's supergroup stuff--it's awful. All i can say is thank god this guy is gone!
