excuse me? Tot is awesome, just cuz they decide to keep their covers a mystery doesn't mean they suck. What cd covers do you like- ones with the band sitting there looking at you or maybe the ones where it just says the title and album. This can actually be considered a piece of artwork (as well as their music is more of a composed piece of music)

its bad artwork. no unity. no harmony. no clear lines of movement. the proportions are out of whack. the eyeball is completely out of place. its just bad art imo.

i dont know what covers i like. most covers are fine. that one definitely isn't.

o billy. <3

think w.e u want about the covers but the band itself is far from horrible and you cant say that chorns unless you've actually heard some of their songs (not just the hard ones but the piano and light ones as well)

and btw thats what the covers are sposed to be like, whacked up and mysterious. THats what I love about them.

I think Dream Theater is a pretty good band.

But yeah, they have hideous album covers.

They play at one of my favorite venues almost every year, around Christmas, and I always wanted to go.

Pop-punk is a legitimate subgenre that existed when the members of Sum 41 were in diapers.

Please do not join MTV in dragging it through the mud. =(

Also, I think Dream Theater is poopy.

What about the dark border from the tunnel, and minor gradiation effect? The tunnel and trees which push off into the distance while the triangular shard of sky redirects you to the very obvious eyeball focal point? The sky,birds and even the top right corner of the tunnel which wasn't darkened are also a simple effects that slightly throw the conventional design off center. I don't like the image because "haha, there's an eyeball in the ground", but I don't think the problem is with unity or direction or anything like that. In anycase, not to such a degree that I would say there is none or anything remotely like that.

Dream Theater have a lot to learn when it comes to the noble art of cover design. =/

Grats on being so retarded that everybody now looks down on an awesome band.

DT are great.

Falling into infinity was a great cover though. lolol people looking at eachother.

I'm not looking down at it, I'm just saying it looks weird for an album cover, that's all...

Excellant, band. I quite like the ToT cover, what can I say, I'm a fan of absttract stuff.

I seem to recall I reviewed That album a while back, I'm almost certain it was on here.

EDIT: Here (Thread 12380) we go.

I agree on this dying soul and honor thy father. I find the rest feels like John Petrucci got bored again.

In anycase, not to such a degree that I would say there is none or anything remotely like that.

it starts off nicely with the tunnel effect and the attempted movement with the trees and even the bar-esque lines in the tunnel, but it goes all wrong because everything is placed in awkward positions. the shadow at the bottom where the tunnel ends is crooked, and really the whole picture is lopsided with more emphasis on the right side (note the dark thing at the bottom of the tunnel) even though the eyeball is supposed to be the obvious focal point and it is on the left. just bad imo. but thats just my personal taste. plus, eyeball and all. so thats why i think there is no harmony or unity basically. it doesnt look like the objects or even lines in the work get along too well. =/
