Love spastic ink. Ron Jarzombek is a guitar genius and you have to like his style to appreciate just how talented he is. I’m sure you’ve listen to blotted science?
Same with Ahgora, they’re great musicians. You’re the only other person I know (well now I know you through this thread) that’s even heard of them. Solid but an avant-guard band. If you like Ahgora, check out Destiny Potato.
Good post!

Hehe... You may be. I was really surprised at a local mini-meet that I seemed to be the only person not streaming music. I guess I am behind the times.
@phthora We need to hear some examples of this Mongolian barbecue eehhh folk music
Here you go... some Huun Huur Tu playing "Chiraa-Khoor" live:
Tell me that isn't metal AF. Huun Huur Tu is my favorite, but there is also Yat Kha, Atai Kai, Sainkho Namtchylak. It's cool stuff. I tend to like music that is either very traditional or very avant-garde the best. Prog metal is about as mainstream as I usually get.
Good to know! I'll have to keep an eye out for that one. Amogh Symphony have such a unique style, it would be great to hear more of it.Vishal is a creative musician. He has an upcoming release with Sean Reinert on it.
Blotted Science and Spastic Ink are among my favorites!

Someone commented that the song should be titled "The Diary of LaBrie", after the Breaking Benjamin song.
Fun fact: The robot in the video looks like the one from ESET NOD32 antivirus.

Just can't get into guys. Being a Longtime DT fan and listener, actually since their first album came out, they just have gone a direction I'm not in to at all. It's just too commercial and mainstream, even for todays standards. There's too many other bands out there that are now playing and performing circles around these guys where I've just lost interest in their new material. I could tolerate any and everything before the Astonishing (it actually started with their Dream Theater album) but since then, not my thing. Magini has taken this band in a very bad direction playing his simplistic riffs, beat, fills, etc. The gusy has no heart and creativity where you actually hear some emotion in his playing. He almost sounds like a drum machine. LOL.
Even when they go into their off tempo/beat structure of their songs, it's like stuff you'd learned in the 8th grade with first exposure with something different then 4/4, 6/8 and 3/4 time signatures.
I don't know, maybe if I never heard them before I could tolerate it more but as it stands, just can't do it. Everything seems like a rehash of everything they've done before and it just grinds on me. Ok enough of my bitching as I've done it at least one other time and its time to just let it go and enjoy everything else that's out there.

You're right about the ESET robot
I saw that copied a lot. Also reminded me of Bjork robotI'm not the biggest DT fan, went through their discography maybe three or four times, so I'm not a specialist, but I tend to agree, their early stuff was much better. They went out with a bang! First album / first song with La Brie - Pull Me Under - a memorable masterpiece. "Images and Words" is excellent top to bottom. Then at some point they started to sound too dense for my taste. The songs became less memorable, just a heavy mass. I liked the black album (DT), but "The Astonishing" IMO is overambitious and ultimately failed to deliver.

Listening to the new Dream Theater right now..
Needs more time to get to know it 100%, but it's not bad.. better than I expected and definitely better than Astonishing.
It's not a masterpiece though and nowhere near Images and Words, but i didn't expect that.
