Opeth by numerous country miles. Never been a DT fan, and I'm afraid I'll never become one

Hmmmm..... this thread looks oddly familiar.
Perhaps I've seen it on a different website.
 Went with Dream Theater then, and I'll do the same here as well. Edited by NJCat_11 - 27 Mar 2010 at 3:33pm |

I go with the more evil one.
Opeth. Yeah both suffer from Prog pretentions but Akerfeldt is still more metal at heart, I feel, and Opeth is more progressive in a good sense and way less dull. Dream Theater is a rather badly watered down metal band to my ears. If DT would get down to the metal roots and forget about this Prog nonsense I think it would be better. Opeth has a wicked quality that I don't think DT will ever have (maybe if Petrucci embraced Satan and Petrucci, Myung, and Portnoy sacrificed Labrie who can give real metalheads the giggles, in a ritualistic ceremony, and ate his entrails it would give them the power to start making edgy music). Of course I am not endorsing such an act, but I just feel that DT lacks bite. |

Opeth is one of my favorite metal bands and I'm not a fan of Dream Theater in the least.
Obviously voted for Opeth.

I think Images and Words is better then my five Opeth albums (not combined), but Systematic chaos....nope cant listen to the hole thing without getting bored, bought Awake today so I might listen to that for now
I realy like Opeth also have there 5 albums from Blackwater Park til Watershed soon i will go backward (moonwalk) to their more death/black metal albums, looking forward too listen to Stil Life |

Both are fantastic.... but it would be a crime for me to go against Dream Theater on this one. Opeth is one of my favorite bands as well.

I honestly hate Dream Theater and I find Opeth to be quite overrated, but I guess I'll go with Opeth as some of their albums alright.

You're hilarious on this site.  Anyway, I go with Opeth as well. Both for a preference to darker metal and just out plain quality/consistency. |

Though I used to be a huge Dream Theater fan a few years back, I can't really enjoy their music as much I used to. Ever since they released Octavarium, I just basically... stopped.
Now, Opeth is still one of my favorite bands of all time and I can always go back to them despite how many times I've listened to them. Though Akerfeldt is basically beginning to take control of the whole band (especially with the departures of Lopez and Lindgren), Opeth still continues to make great music imo and they have a special place in my heart  . |

Dream theater for me. I grew up with their music.. Nothing against Opeth. DT is just 0.00000000000001% better for me.

DT here. Love both bands though, but DT has a special place in my heart, since they are the reason why I turned back to listen progressive rock, progressive metal and eventually extreme metal.
Hail the kings.

Dream Theater is actually interesting most of the time.
Which is why I voted for them.

I love Dream Theater and I like Opeth, but it's a huge difference. DT for sure.
