in fact this is probably the worst review i have ever seen...obviously you are don´t know anything about music....train of thought is a heavier album...yes...but a incredible album...it´s the follower of six degrees..and it makes sense...what makes this band excelent is the fact that they try to experiment new sounds...and six degrees and train of thought it´s the proove...and very well done...this review is bullshit...get a life..and learn about music first...fucker!!:nono:

This review didn't make any sense to me. He said that "Honor Thy Father" is the only song he didn't like, and yet he only gave it a 6.5?

This might be my favorite Dream Theater album. I know it's their most accessible album and a lot of hardcore Dream Theater fans that I know dislike this album, but it's still my favorite. There aren't any slow, bullshit songs on this album, unlike their others. It's fuckin heavy and full of great solos.

The whole album sounds like "The Glass Prison".

What the hell? Did you bother analyze the wonderful Metal sonata called Stream of Consciousness? (yes, it IS a sonata, with the Classical structure and thematization and so on - it has no lack of expression, it just has a STRUCTURE). Did you try to listen to Honor Thy Father more than just once and focus on the harmony instead of pretending it has some nu-metal influences?

Oh, and, by the way, Endless Sacrifice is not just "one of the best songs on Train of Thought" but the best song on it, and one of the best Dream Theater songs ever IMO.

As pyroleprechaun correctly points out, a review by someone who did not like only one song on the album and still gives it a 6.5 cannot make any sense.

Not the best album of DT but it still being good. Just too long and boring.
I like more the direct stuff like in images and words.

I agree with the review, this is only a technical album for me, there isn't feeling at all.

One of the worst albums of DT, I say that to, but still it's a good album. Stream Of Consciousness is an awsome song, never thought they will make something like this, though

This is the best music that I've heard from DT. They have really boring songs, but this had really interesting, and truly progressive.

This album is one of Dream Theater's best albums, and my favourrite album ever. "honor thy father" is a great song: fast, heavy, brilliant solos (from everyone).

Just brilliant!!!!!!

*****
5 stars

Im not saying that Train Of Thought is DT best release, but I surely wouldnt give it only 6,5. I would give it 8,5. The album has some pretty amazing songs like As I Am and Endless Sacrifice.

This album went nowhere imo, it failed to work...

my question is: "what the hell went wrong?" after listening to it quite thoroughly.

This review is nowhere near true to the actual album.

Train of thought is my fav Dream Theater album. with songs like as i am, honor thy father, endless sacrifice, nad stream of conciousness, it is one of the best albums ever.

This is only Dream Theater album that i really like , all songs are very good .

This was by far the worst and most inconsistent review I have ever read on this site. He said that 'Honor Thy Father' was the only song he didn't like, yet he only gave it a 6.5, which makes me think if he even listened to the album more than once. He should have taken the time to listen to the melodies of 'Honor Thy Father' instead of simply passing it off as having nu metal influences. Seriously, he should have written the review again after listening to the album a couple more times.

but what's with his profile? was it deleted? if you click on it, you get an error message.

I think this might be from two reasons. Either he was not active for a really long time (for example 1 and a half to 2 years) or he requested that his account be deleted. Of course, that's what I think. There might be some other reason as to this which I cannot foresee.

it was like this before the great cleaning that took place afew weeks ago. so I guess he wanted to be deleted.

I like this album but it has become my least favvourite DT album. Maybe because I "over-abused" listening to it back in 2003. Now I only listen to Endless Sacrifice, Honor thy Father and Vacant/Stream of Consciousness.

Very strange review.
Especially the last sentence: "but I want to warn you: if you didn't like "Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence", don't even think to buy "Train Of Thought".
I for one do NOT like Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence AT ALL yet I really like Train Of Thought which is a much heavier darker and more focussed album IMO. Less pretentious and meandering than SDoIT.

^^^ Yeah man. I don't care too much for Six Degrees and I really like Train of Thought. I don't understand why he wrote that because Train of Thought and Six Degrees are completely different albums.

This review should be deleted...this is revolting...the review makes no sense...this album is amazing..the rating is so absurd..:(

This is one of their best albums. And no review should be removed because of rating, so stop whining and write a review yourself.

I have heard four of the songs, and i agree that it isn´t their best album, but i liked it!.. dream theatre are allways gonne ba great whatever they do!

This album isn't DT's best i agree but this one definitely belongs to their top 3, along with "images and words" and "scenes from a memory".

+1
This review doesn't ake any sense

A lot of DT fans don't like ToT coz they think it's a pale Metallica cover... wtf ?
They experiment new sounds at every new album, it's normal that everybody can't appreciate it.

To me, this album is one of DT's best after Scenes From A Memory and Images and Words.

This I don't like at all. Train of Thought is one of the most boring, banal albums I've ever heard in my life. The whole thing tries too hard to be progressive, and doesn't flow well at all. Sure, write a 10+ minute song if you want, but don't make it as exruciating as 'In The Name of God'. Rudess' keyboards do nothing for the album at all...his lines sound so pretentious, so artificial...whenever a keyboard section comes on top of a riff, it sounds so goddamn put-on...what happened to the flowing passages of Images and Words? And what about LaBrie? He's whiny at the best of times, but this entire album seems like one long angst rant. Especially the obscenities; he can't pull swearing off at all. Simply put, my least favourite DT album, and I agree with the reviewer's sentiments, although he didn't express them well. I like some of As I Am and Stream of Consciousness, but that's it.

i would say that scenes from a memory is deffinately better, yet the album is still a wonderful one. this dying soul is the first dream theater song that i ever heard and it brought me into the world of dt. heavier true, but brilliant nonetheless

This review pissed me off so bad I couldn't finnish it, this is My favorite DT Album!

Not the best DT album at all. They tried to sound heavier but they took all they good keyboard lines. Jordan Rudess only play solos in this album. Not his best performances I most say. I think that octavarium is much better album than ToT just my opinion. Guitar players maybe will like this album but they i think that Rudess forgot to play chords in this album with the exception of vacant.

...he likes all songs except 1 and he gives a 6.5? ha...this reviewer might be into more softer music like HIM or Evanecense. for "true" metallers this review makes no sense the technical thrash influence is here but the sound still 100% DT.

...he said blackened...hah
