I Think (and John Petrucci thinks too) Octavarium is the Best Album DT ever Made.
Please HMX. Panic Attack is Already included, now you can add the whole Album :)
Please :)

I liked the Systematic Chaos better, but it was cool. The whole album is going to be all in the "Nightmare" and "Impossible" Tier though probably.

It's a good album, but honestly, I think a lot more album's would be looked at (and would be preferred by the most). If they simply add another Dream Theater song (Pull Me Under, Pull Me Under, Pull Me Under), I'll be happy, but I'm definitely not holding my breath for an album. Keep the faith though :D.

I just want more DT DLC. Forsaken, Pull Me Under, and 6 Degrees Of Inner Turbulence. (Just so I can play a 40 minute song! :D)

I think as far as diversity and virtousity is concerned, Octavarium is the best.

I want The Glass Prison, even though disc 1 of six degrees is kinda... not DT's best work, other than that song.

For albums, though, Octavarium has a whole lot going for it.

Diversity? I don't think so, there's not much of that on this album.

There's 2 slow songs, 5 heavy songs that sound pretty much the same, and the only song on the album we really should get is the title track


This definitely is NOT the best Dream Theater album for the game..

Images and Words, Metropolis Pt. 2, Systematic Chaos, Awake > everything else. I'm sure people will disagree, but that's where I stand.

Octavarium for full album? Fssck yeah!

It's hard to choose, but Octavarium gets a slight edge over Systematic Chaos because of the self titled track! <3

edit: oooh, my 100th post.

I honestly wouldn't mind seeing 'When Dream And Day Unite' as full-album DLC. Just as a homage to Chris Collins.

However, I'd also love Images & Words. I love Octavarium to death, but Images & Words is simply better in terms of musicianship.

I'd prefer I&W and ToT, but I'll take any DT I can get. Nothing would compare to Octavarium's title track...

...Rock Band really needs an epic.

Hmmm. I would definatly buy anything Dream Theater that Rock Band hands to us. I would definatly buy this but I would say that they're live album Score would be my personal favorite to play. I was expecting to see a song or two from they're new album Black Clouds and Silver Linings since it came out on June 23 but I guess not.

I second the post above me.

BC&SL needs to be in RB. Octavarium cannot touch it, IMO.

What would they do with the song Octavarium though? 24 minutes long! While it is an amazing song that seems a tad to long.

Even though Octavarium is a good album, I thought Scenes From A Memory was better. But they should consider adding some more Dream Theater songs

Its an amazing song, and it would be VERY challenging. It could be used as a trophy achievement and it would be one of those songs with maxed out difficulty all instruments. (in my opinion.) if they made that song the game would also get publicity from having the longest song in a video game.

He asks me how I feel...
I tell him "DOCTOR HELP ME THIS SONG IS SO LONG AAAAHHH"

Yes, I'd absolutely be down with Octavarium being a DLC. The song, that is. The album, I'm not sure. I don't think I'd really want to play I Walk Beside You.

...Bah, I'd still buy it. :p

BLACK CLOUDS NEEDS TO BE ON ROCK BAND...... its just that good. that and disc one of six degrees, the one having nothing to do with the 12 part suite. i would love the complete 12 part suite on rock band though. both the 6 degrees AND the black clouds ending to it "the shattered fortress." and really, "Octavarium" the song, that would be a AMAZING, like........idk, nothing compares. and the whole album (minus "Panic Attack" of course) would be even better. playing songs like "Sacrificed Sons" would be amazing. however...."the answer lies within" would not be to good, for guitar at least. well no, everything but vocals would be a bore. but still, WE NEED MORE DREAM THEATER.

PLEASE HARMONIX GIVE US MORE DREAM THEATER, IT WILL MAKE YOU LOTS OF CASH.

Images and Words please, it would be so much more fun to play. OR train of thought, not their best album, but would be alot of fun to play endless sacrifice and Honor thy father.

I could live with Panic Attack, Octavarium and These Walls, but other than that the album is ok, even though the songs are nice. Images and Words is a true work of art, and that deserves its place as DLC

Agreed. Octavarium is okay, but if hmx puts a DT album on rock band, it better be Images and Words, if not Awake.

I really like their newer stuff just because its more heavier. Just a personal choice. Therefore, I'd actually rather see any songs off of Systematic Chaos,Octavarium, and even Black Clouds and Silver Lining.

If I needed to pick an older album I would like to see, it would be Train of Thought or Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence.

Still, I am not picky. Dream Theater DLC of any sort = is amazing DLC.

Train of Thought and 6DoIT are older albums? They're both from the 00's. DT's debut was in '89.

This is a great album. I totally agree with putting this in. Not only for the title song, but that too. Octavarium (the song) would be epic to play. I've wanted it on the game for a while. Also, if they did this, they could add Keys to Panic Attack, allowing for mass epicness. In fact, I believe every song on this album could use every instrument in Rock Band 3.

I doubt Harmonix will do this though. Charting Octavarium (the song) for every instrument and every Pro instrument woud take ages. But it would be well worth it.

I can still just imagine how many failed attempts there will be to get 100% on Octavarium on Expert , Bass, Keys, Drums, and Vocals (maybe harmonies too) all at once. That would be deserving of an achievement or trophy.

I'd get a Dream Theatre album as DLC. Though I'm not a huge fan of them, I still like the music, and I really like to play their songs on Rock Band, so that's why I'd buy it.

I felt like posting that and couldn't think of anywhere more appropriate.

As for the people saying that there are many better things by DT that could be put on, Octavarium is actually their most popular album, so while your opinion is respected, I find it unlikely that HMX will take your side.

Not really, Octavarium is only really popular on these forums (obviously because of Panic Attack in RB2, that was a lot of RB fans' gateway into Dream Theater).

Everywhere else, I find that the majority of DT fans have Octavarium at the bottom of their discography or very close to it. Mostly Images And Words, Awake, and Scenes From A Memory top most peoples' lists. Only really RB fans have a love affair with Octavarium.
