You're gay. Mike Portnoy is an overrated drummer. James LaBrie is about as pleasing as the cheese he's named after. John Myung's math skills can't write him a solid bassline. John Petrucci should stick to teaching other people how to be boring and rip off Metallica rather than performing live at quadruple the volume of his fellow members. Keyboards are gay, like you.

About half way through Jane Doe. I don't like the vocals one bit, but musically these guys are solid. I knew they were good musicians though. A lot of it is really samey though, which explains why a lot of their live performance sounded the same. If they got a decent vocalist, I'd like 'em more.

<______> for starts, portnoy is no longer their drummer, and while he has made a bad name for himself lately, he is amazingly talented and you are high if you think otherwise. i understand why people dont like labrie but i dont get so defensive about it, its your loss. yes myung's basslines are mostly copying petrucci, who gives a fuck. Petrucci is an amazing guitarist; and a majority of their metallica sound was due to portnoy's commanding behavior, which is now gone, petrucci has far more feeling in his music then anything kirk hammet has done. and if you think keyboards are gay then you're saying bands like deep purple is gay, which if you are, makes you one of the dumbest people on these boards. I didn't like converge, and while it may have been due to the nature of the show i saw them at, i have no intention of listening to them again, live with it..
Just finished Jane Doe. I'd give it a strong 6/ light 7. A lot of the tracks are samey and the vocals are god awful. But, the band definitely showcases their technical ability and uses it to write cool passages and get really heavy on some of the tracks. I definitely understand the appeal, but I think the album gets a little too much credit. This is definitely not worthy of number 1 on both Sputnik and Decibel's Top 100 albums of the 00's.
