you've guys got me all wrong!

I enjoy and respect the virtuosity and technicality of both bands (many other technical as bands too) and I strive to be as good at my instruments as they are, however I just don't understand how people can listen to this stuff day-in-and-day-out.
I listen to A LOT of technical/prog music but fail to see how these two bands are still relevant and how people obsess over them - especially DT.

Sometimes bands get too carried away in music theory that they lose all emotion. I'm not saying DT doesn't have emotion in every song; it's only about 75%+ of them that seem too robotic.
It seems DT takes the credit and cake for a huge majority of this style of music, whereas bands like Psychotic Waltz withered away into the shadows.

who said any of us listen to it day in day out? I also wouldn't consider Psychotic Waltz as technically proficient as DT nor capable of writing as much good material. Confessor is an awesome band but I can understand why they aren't HUGE for the same reason, they don't write the most listenable songs but I still think they're awesome.

and maybe Psychotic Waltz faded away because they wrote a song called 'faded' or because their singer plays a flute in this video:

or maybe because of their website design?
