that made me laugh. every rockish band requires a member to grow their hair out below the shoulder line.

Yeah, I have 2 songs of the new record, believing that maybe they were gonna release something really cool, like Scenes of a memory, but nope, i was wrong

I love Dream Theater...I want to wait until the actual release comes out...but this is tooooo tempting.
It kind of spoils the whole anticipation and excitement of waiting for a new album to come out when suddenly it leaks and it's unexpectedly plastered all over the internet. T_T
I can't decide whether to wait or not.
BTW, what is the bitrate of the leaked release?

I have mixed feelings with the album so far. Wither is probablt the "Walk beside you" / "Forsaken" type of song. I only listened to it 2 times.
A nightmare to remember i really like, it's a straight up song with catchy riffs.
A rite of passage was made kind of long for no purpose imo, but I haven't listened to it that much.
The best of times i really liked, kind of different to the songs DT has been making but I like it.
The shattered fortress is the continuation and end of the alcohol steps saga (the glass prison, the root of all evil, etc). It has many arrangements taken from the previous songs. I really like, though it might have to do with nostalgia? Don't know, but i like it :p
The count of Tuscany is the strong point of the cd imo. octavarium / ACOS type of song. It doesn't have deep meaning lyrics, but the rhythm, the arrangements, i love it. It's not overdone, yet it feels epic in every moment. Something i noticed immediately is that LaBrie is singing way better.

I guess I'll wait for the actual release. :X
Good to see it doesn't sound like a terrible album from your impressions. Systematic Chaos took me forever to get used to, and even after having let it sink in properly, I only like and still listen to two songs from it ("In the Presence of Enemies" and "Ministry of Lost Souls"). -___-

like most dream theater albums it's a mixed bag, but I really enjoyed the first track, shattered fortress and the last track. Shattered Fortress seemed to be heavier than the rest, and the last track was just really good.
|
The last one is my favorite too. Amazing track. #5 is good too, #1 is decent. The rest - do not want.
Honestly, I don't get how this band which is capable of producing incredible tracks releases this boring albums lately.
|
First thing that comes to my mind is that the song lacks manliness. Reach wouldn't approve.

that's not hard to figure out (the acronym)
Want to elaborate on the point?

This post shows the extent of your musical knowledge. ZERO.

This actually got me excited, i'm downloading now. I've only listened to The Count Of Tuscany and yeah, it's pretty epic.

Dream Theater is missing in action.

I assumed it'd be something different...something witty and clever about how mediocre DT has become or something to that extent. -____-

Dream Theater is fucking awesome.
This music actually changed my life a little over the last years.
Downloading, will buy the album on first occasion.

Dream Theater's a cool band, there's at least a couple songs that I like per album, I expect this one to be the same. Some of their songs are really boring and sound really mundane, but overall, the band has good stuff.

I've always liked their heavier stuff like most of the songs on Train of Thought, but I really hate all of their balladesque stuff. Out of the new songs I like A Nightmare to Remember and The Shattered Fortress the best.
