They're doing a revival tour lately, but I haven't seen them.
Quote:On the other hand, bands like Dream Theater leave me cold. The energy isn't visceral, which to me is the essence of good music, no matter the genre or era. As much as I admire their technical ability, math rock doesn't move me emotionally. And there's nothing wrong with that.
Funny that you mention them, because I would have done so in my reply even if you hadn't. I listened a lot to DT when I was younger, but in the past 10 years or so I ended up just not caring for them any more. In German I'd say I'm missing the life blood in the whole endeavour. To me it's lost all authenticity so much that I sometimes actively dislike what they do.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
