You'd have to be one of the only guys on the planet to say that one. I love Dream Theater, but not for their vocals.

Agree, wish all their tracks were just instrumentals. The vocals are so average.

Maynard..

Unbelievably awesome.

Hardly. He has great technique.

Rody Walker from Protest The Hero. His progression vocally has been really impressive, from this;

Sounds great live too even though he was their weakness as a live act early on in the bands existence.

Anybody can be a technically good singer if trained by the right people, doesn't make them a great vocalist, doesn't make their vocalist an art.

The vocals are boring, the lyrics aren't creative or clever.

I'm just saying the whole vocal and lyric aspect of Dream Theatre is unnecessary and brings down their songs.

I don't understand why they don't just stick t instrumentals.

Whilst lyrically they're certainly not Pink Floyd like, but they're not that bad. Plenty worse out there.
In my mind Labrie is one of the better singers, I certainly don't get the hate on his vocals.

Actually I would suggest that Metropolis Pt 2 is one of the great concept albums.
