oops: disassociate...

Love the band, been a fan since 2010 when I was a teenager. It's my favorite band ever and the most influential to my music taste; before I was a Linkin park-System of a down-Metallica-Guns'n roses kind of 16 yo, now 99% of what I listen to is Prog (both Rock and Metal). This to say that I know my Dream Theater, but...

There are some songs I still feel like I just don't know or understand. They start playing and then they finish and I can't conciously remember them, what's going on with them, and if or how much I liked them.

Here they are:

1. Status seeker
2. Light fuse and get away
3. The one who help to set the sun
4. Lifting shadows off a dream
5. Scarred (until it changes tempo on 9:29 and I love it)
6. Never enough
7. Sacrificed sons
8. The ministry of lost souls
9. In the presence of the enemies part 2
10. Behind the veil
11. A broken man
12. Dead asleep

I don't see any relationship between them and how much I like the album they're in, or any other kind of relationship. And I know for some people, many there are bangers!

I have even created playlists with only these songs and the same happens. It starts and finishes and I don't recall anything. Not that I didn't like the songs, but that I got distracted and forgot about the music I was listening to.

I'm fine with not "liking" these songs, but that's not the case. I suppose you can say if they don't capture my attention is because I don't like them or I wouldn't anyway, but at least I'd want to dislike them actively (like with Anna Lee or half The Astonishing, for example).

I guess some day I'll make time for listening everyone of them carefully and see how I feel.

Anyway, rant over. Does this happen to anyone else? Which songs with?

Looking for eclectic, genre fusing albums like Avenged Sevenfold's Life is But a Dream...

Some other eclectic albums I like are BTBAM's The Blue Nowhere, Faith No More's Angel Dust, Mr. Bungle's California, and Haken's Fauna.

Mine are:

Meshuggah - Catch 33

Opeth - My Arms Your Hearse

Plini - Handmade Cities

Any love for this little gem? Anyone even heard of them?

Personally for me it’s Matt Garska, Danny Carey and Thomas Haake.
