Credits for the mixing. So good to hear Myungs bass without having to go into a state of meditation to single out the silent bass from the rest of the instruments as on previous albums.
Maiden is my all-time favs (and I really like Senjutsu) however its amazing how the mixing on the last two DT songs is 10x better than the production on Iron Maiden's new albums. Ironic given Maiden probably have a bigger recording budget as well.
I remember, I was 12 years old listening to Metropolis part 1. Now, all these years have passed, and I am now 30 and I still listen to you. I will do so forever. You guys, Galneryus and other bands will stay with me forever! Thank you for helping me through a lot!
Good thing about these 2 new songs is that James sings so much lower than he used to on previous records. I think his lower register is what he should stick to nowadays. Nice song!
I agree. I personally prefer LaBrie's high pitch like in Images and Words, but I also understand that it's not easy to maintain that as he gets older. To see him now singing older songs live is just both unbearable and saddening. He could do better with lower songs.
@@lunchbucket2494 yeah, and that's reasonable. I'm very happy to hear him sing in a range that he feels comfortable in... Hope this new tour will consist of more low-pitched songs like Dark Eternal Night for example..
What an absolute gift to be alive in a time when I get to listen to Dream Theatre. Your music is therapy for my soul.. 🔥 ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥thank you for keeping on all this time.
Same here. I have never been impressed like this though. since 2009 being DT fan, I never felt bored with their music. sure there are weak ones. But overall they're so great
No they’re not. This sounds like a “pull me under” + “the enemy inside “ from a dramatic turn of events album. But it is a good attempt of going back to it.
Back to 1992 form. It's been 20+ years coming. This song form is what I keep hoping to hear when I come back to Dream Theater, and it's finally back in _Invisible Monster._ James LaBrie is in top form here. This band lineup has also finally hit its stride. It's also the first time this incarnation of Dream Theater has sounded even remotely close to the first album's allure since maybe _A Change of Seasons._ This is easily one of Dream Theater's best songs since _Pull Me Under_ and _A Change of Seasons._ I'd definitely put it in Dream Theater's top 10 songs of all time. Excellent. Way to go, guys.
I've been noticing a trend with some DT songs having maybe intentional.. maybe not intentional.. musical call backs to Scenes From a Memory, the last album had Barstool Warrior... that one had an intentional/maybe non-intentional call back to the song Finally Free from Scenes from a memory... This new song Invisible monster also gives me Scenes from a memory vibe... good stuff!
@@Northernwoodw Dude you've no fucking idea what you're talking about. All bands since the dawn of music refer themselves, their craft and others in their songs, specially progressive rock and metal bands. it's a nod that explains itself as to that all their albums are connected.

Invisible Monster Lyrics 👇 When you face the creature That waits beneath your bed Will you stare into its eyes or look away? Running toward the fire Or fleeing from the flame The choice to seek or hide is yours to make The serpent inside Wrapping its tail around my neck I'm buried alive Dying to take another breath Invisible monster Always felt but never seen Unwelcome presence refusing to leave Invisible monster Hiding, never showing its face Feeding on irrational fear Thoughts race at a feverish pace Soaring on a flight of ideas Perched on its victim's shoulder Whispering in its ear Things that may never happen Worries too much to bear Invisible monster Always felt but never seen Unwelcome presence refusing to leave Invisible monster Invisible monster Always felt but never seen Unwelcome presence refusing to leave Invisible monster Beast that dwells inside my mind Give up your hold let me take back control Invisible monster Invisible monster
Discovered DT with Image&Words back in the 90's. Still amazed by the creativity of this band! Always in a different world with each album! Thx for the music!
@@jamesp7709 I think he voice has matured very nicely like a fine wine. At his age, he's not chasing power anymore. He definitely has to conserve more these days. I'm sure he'll have some nice belts on the title track ;)
Agree. I can never stop it before the end and it never feels too long. In fact I'm always surprised it's over already, it feels like 40 minutes max. It took some time to dive into, but this album simply has everything. A real treasure.
Loving a Dream Theater song again after so long after seeing this! It has their classic feel. The solo is breathtaking and epic, vocal along with the total composition take me back to the 'Awake' days!!! A great song after all. 🤘👏🇧🇩
I personally prefer The alien, but this is a nice song. However, I have the feeling, also due to what DT usually do with singles anticipating the album, that both tracks will not be amongst the best in the album. Can't wait for the title track!
The title track better be good at its length, I'm expecting something along the lines of Illumination Theory, but if it isn't at least as good as ACOS, then I'll be let down, probably.
Agree! This song is good, but i prefer The Alien. The vibes of The Alien is sooo LIT and addictive 🔥 but still, Invisible monster just kept on my queue 🙌🏻
Dream theater, I used to listen to you for 13 years now, I was a child once I heard your music and I got in love with it, I'm raised with that kind of music and my dream is to become a good pianist for a band like jordan rudess, can't wait until I go to one of your concerts!
John Petrucci is the man. Awesome guitarist and chief song writer. I listened to Best Of Times today and that guitar solo at the end of that song is unbelievable. I can't wait for the new album. 💯👈👍
This dude has his most plays from Petrucci solo, I do like his take on it. You know he wishes it were his music but only one JP. th-cam.com/video/dztb6wqUVNg/w-d-xo.html
Finally some respect for that solo. Its joint my favourite solo with comfortably numb, I'm still working on perfecting it myself, such beautiful melodic sweeps.
And the fact that the song is about his best friend’s (Portnoy’s) late father makes it that much more impactful. You can tell he really put his heart into that shit
FANTASTIC TRACK!! And this sounds like a step back to their classic form. That's a GOOD THING! There's a lot to love here -- both new and old sounds that resonate well with this old fan. I love these guys!
Wow this is amazing. You guys are some of the best composers in metal and just music in general. I am 15 so I am new to Dream Theater but I am loving it! I had read that you guys were founded at berklee music college, no wonder! Not just anybody can write AND play this well. 🤘🤘👏👏
Strap in young lad, I'm 36 and I was your age when I discovered Dream Theatre. That is how good they are, they have transcended generations. You have a wonderful ear if this is what your listening to at 15. I hope there's more kids like you.
@@thrashnicity5913 just checked your channel man and keep up the guitar that is awesome. I played for 5 years and just quit one day and then 10 years of my life passed me by in a blink of an eye. I picked the guitar back up a month ago. Keep on rocking.
@@thebloodhammer2268 I know it's not exactly neoclassical, but in "Fall Into The Light" from the "Distance Over Time" album there's an instrumental interlude that sounds very medieval to me (kind of like Green Sleeves, you know). I like it a lot.
@@MrTsetso Heard it, but was kind of "hmm, interesting", then I heard Pull Me Under in '91 and said "HOLY CRAP", and re-listened to WDaDU and was "I GET IT, I TOTALLY GET IT"...so pretty close to you. Skipped a couple of them because "yea...no", but still ended up buying them to ensure the full catalog (including the bootlegs).
Extraordinary musicians, great people. James Labrie good at ballads. Jhon Petrucci great guitar jams, Jordan Rudess great keyboard solos, John Myung bass prowess
Going through the album for the second time, 7 super long songs, greatly arranged, composed and executed. By far the best they done in nearly 20 years since Train Of Through and Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence. A+++
Man, i love this! Especially the part of the solo where Rudess comes in with the harpsichord. Never heard them do this before. To me it feels very fresh and revitalized. James also sounds great here
Yeah, this is exactly what I was thinking. I loved that Malmsteenish part of solo and first time to hear something like this from DT. Wish to they do more. 👊🏻
@@rabid_mongrel When HAVEN'T Dream Theater lyrics sounded corny? Dunno how you could listen to the band and decide to draw the line here of all places.
Thank you guys for keeping the spirit of D/T fully alive and quite well!!!! I recently revisited the drummer tryouts and I’ve finally come to the place where I see it. I see how Mangini is thee perfect guy, drummer, partner, band mate, you name it. As a drummer, this was sooo hard to accept/adapt to. I use to think, “no way, no Portnoy, no D/T”. But not anymore. D/T was my biggest influence throughout the 90s. Then, I got busy. I got turned on to other genres and played in original bands throughout the 90s. I couldn’t keep up with y’all’s new records & so I put D/T on a shelf, kept away snug until the time would come for me to rehash y’all’s music and I ended up 20yrs later, falling back in love with you guys all over again. ♥️😎. AWAKE is my album. That album just has this special place in my heart that’ll always be there. When I listened to silent man for the first time in years, it hit me so hard. I cried so hard listening. Remembering every word to all these songs, as if it were on the back of my hand. You guys just blew me away, all over again. So thank you! Thank you for keeping things real, yet surreal. ❤
One of the best I think so. I'm also Dream Theater fan about 20 years ago. I like Porcupine Tree too, Pain of Salvation and other, but I was grew up with Genesis, ELP and same classic prog bands.
I was only 19 years old when first time i listened the song ANOTHER DAY. now that I'm already 44 and discover more of DT MUSIC. I'm now a big fan of this rock band ang still enjoying their music here in saudi arabia🤘🤘🤘
@@BenMichalowicz I love it too. I'm just poking fun at how they're not up there in the video (IMO it is just to get better shots of him Playing the drums from different angles).
Anyone else get sort of a PULL ME UNDER vibe from this song? Great, amazing song! This album has had 2 songs released and its got me so pumped for its full release!! Beautifully done by the best band in the world!
It's such a wonderful gift, that one of my favorite bands of all time, are still together. Never compromised . Never changing, to follow a fleeting fad. Never any needless drama. Only stimulating art. Like it's supposed to be.
Agree, Aaron. There must have been times when when the band members felt somewhat regretful that the market for the music we all love and appreciate isn’t as lucrative as it could be, but surely the band has also realised that the fans who love the music will not leave just for ‘fads’.
I watched the guys play this song live last week in SLC, Utah. Incredible! I love the song and it was perfect live. To hear AND feel the song was so great. Love DT. Best band in the world.
Hi guys! I listen Dream Theater music for 24 years and knowing for long time that behind every note and specialy word is much more than most people think. And behind this great song is our inner feelings and everything that keeps buggin us, the most important for each one of us how to deal with it. And for me Dream Theater is all about life, especialy how to deal with yourself. You guys helped me, helping me and will help me a lot and I will be true fan for the rest of my life. Thx a lot for much more than music🎶
Actually I think they need to fix the horrible snare sound on the self titled album. It sounds like "splat" ...I can't enjoy the album! What do you think?
@@Gareththedrummer I respect dream theater as the masters they are on their instrument but I can only hear so much their music is a constant competition of virtuosity amongst themselves
This song made me feel that the band is rescuing a vein they seemed to have lost a decade ago after Portnoy left them. Feels kinda like "Black clouds and silver linings". Congrats, Dream Theater! Hope to watch another show of yours in Brazil, as soon as Covid pandemics is really gone.
Such an awesome video. I love this song. The album is produced and mixed one of the best ever, it's great to hear every layer, especially the bass and cymbals clearly.
I just love the way John plays his solos uniquely him and his smooth fast accurate and clean technique. 2022 this is indeed a great song. Dream Theater never fails to produce good music thanks to JP.
It’s always been a surprise for me to see how melodious a prog metal band can be. Too much technicalities but still catches ears. Long live Dream Theater.
This is insane. Best of the best. Loving the new product. Keep it up guys. And like the video also. It really captures players in their best moments. And it's amazing how they nailed all the parts for the video shoot, especially Mike. It just shows material is well known and practiced to perfection. Thx again.
The first impression reminds me a bit to a mix of the groovy Midtempo Ones like "Paralyzed"/ "Build Me Up, Break Me Down" and "Pull Me Under" / and the more epic things like "On The Backs Of Angels". A solid one but not very spectacular to be honest.
Yeah, these new singles aren't that spectacular compared to D/T. I actually really enjoyed that album a lot, one of my favorites from 2019. This album is feeling somewhat sleepy
Essa banda tem uma carga gigante de conhecimento musical e sua harmonia como grupo é sinistra demais! Esses caras são uns aliens mesmo só pode kkkkk Cade os BR aqui na sequencia?Abrssss
São os melhores do mundo, isso sem dúvida nenhuma! Vi eles em SP em 2016, Curitiba em 2019, e ano que vem em Curitiba terei a honra de ver de novo, sempre que possível! Melhor banda que já existiu na face dessa Terra!
I really enjoyed this one! It's the first time I heard it and I think it's a very well crafted song. I love that melodic theme and the small variations of it. I especially like everything after 3:29... Jordan Rudess added different spices of mystery to that fantastic theme and it sounded really cool. The last small part that ended the song was also a real highlight for me. This was definitely my cup of tea. Thanks for doing this!
So far this album seems like a cross between Systematic Chaos and Distance over Time, in terms of sound. I really hope the title track isn't another Illumination Theory. So far so good though! Got my copy pre-ordered.
I wish Dad could hear this. He told me about the song, the spirit carries on the night before he died. He was the biggest dream theater fan. Miss you Pop.
❤️
That song….in particular……dude…..
I had heard it more times that I could tell you…..then I saw it in concert on that tour and IT WRECKED ME….never knew why….never will. Sheer beauty….art.

Agree. James sounds much more natural in a lower register. I'm sure this will also alleviate voice strain in concert.
It's because the old style was ruining his vocals
Basically what Arjen did with Ayreon in 2004 on The Human Equation.
The last decade must have been torture for LaBrie’s vocal chords.
Love that on the new album we can clearly hear Myung and Mangini's cymbals.
Yeah definitely. Myung is such an amazing player.
2 powerful Ms Myung Man genie
Myung is so underrated
Yeah Myung is my favorite cymbal player

Invisible Monster Lyrics 👇
When you face the creature
That waits beneath your bed
Will you stare into its eyes or look away?
Running toward the fire
Or fleeing from the flame
The choice to seek or hide is yours to make
The serpent inside
Wrapping its tail around my neck
I'm buried alive
Dying to take another breath
Invisible monster
Always felt but never seen
Unwelcome presence refusing to leave
Invisible monster
Hiding, never showing its face
Feeding on irrational fear
Thoughts race at a feverish pace
Soaring on a flight of ideas
Perched on its victim's shoulder
Whispering in its ear
Things that may never happen
Worries too much to bear
Invisible monster
Always felt but never seen
Unwelcome presence refusing to leave
Invisible monster
Invisible monster
Always felt but never seen
Unwelcome presence refusing to leave
Invisible monster
Beast that dwells inside my mind
Give up your hold let me take back control
Invisible monster
Invisible monster
Is this song about panic attacks, claustrophobia, or similar stuff?

@@thrashnicity5913 no the guitar I have is an epiphone les Paul custom
Please make an entire album of neoclassical inspired songs like that bit at 4:24. It would be the greatest thing my ears have ever heard. \m/
agreeeeddd
there's a part kind of like it in erotomania I think
@@thebloodhammer2268 I know it's not exactly neoclassical, but in "Fall Into The Light" from the "Distance Over Time" album there's an instrumental interlude that sounds very medieval to me (kind of like Green Sleeves, you know). I like it a lot.
16 years and so on... I'll never stop listen to Dream Theater 🤘🏻
29 years for me. Same.
30 years. Images was did it for me.
@@jakebob5101 Since When Dream and Day Unite - 32 :)
@@MrTsetso Same here mate and 42 live shows later :)
@@MrTsetso Heard it, but was kind of "hmm, interesting", then I heard Pull Me Under in '91 and said "HOLY CRAP", and re-listened to WDaDU and was "I GET IT, I TOTALLY GET IT"...so pretty close to you. Skipped a couple of them because "yea...no", but still ended up buying them to ensure the full catalog (including the bootlegs).
Wow! Awesome! Incredible how fresh and full of energy it all sounds! Makes me want to create music again!
Extraordinary musicians, great people. James Labrie good at ballads. Jhon Petrucci great guitar jams, Jordan Rudess great keyboard solos, John Myung bass prowess
Going through the album for the second time, 7 super long songs, greatly arranged, composed and executed. By far the best they done in nearly 20 years since Train Of Through and Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence. A+++
Man, i love this! Especially the part of the solo where Rudess comes in with the harpsichord. Never heard them do this before. To me it feels very fresh and revitalized. James also sounds great here
Corny lyrics. Boring song. Sounds forced. Never thought I'd turn off a DT song. Just did.
@@rabid_mongrel that's okay, lmao
Yeah, this is exactly what I was thinking. I loved that Malmsteenish part of solo and first time to hear something like this from DT. Wish to they do more. 👊🏻
@@rabid_mongrel When HAVEN'T Dream Theater lyrics sounded corny? Dunno how you could listen to the band and decide to draw the line here of all places.
@@wight2211 yet here you are. 😋
Thank you guys for keeping the spirit of D/T fully alive and quite well!!!! I recently revisited the drummer tryouts and I’ve finally come to the place where I see it. I see how Mangini is thee perfect guy, drummer, partner, band mate, you name it. As a drummer, this was sooo hard to accept/adapt to. I use to think, “no way, no Portnoy, no D/T”. But not anymore. D/T was my biggest influence throughout the 90s. Then, I got busy. I got turned on to other genres and played in original bands throughout the 90s. I couldn’t keep up with y’all’s new records & so I put D/T on a shelf, kept away snug until the time would come for me to rehash y’all’s music and I ended up 20yrs later, falling back in love with you guys all over again. ♥️😎. AWAKE is my album. That album just has this special place in my heart that’ll always be there. When I listened to silent man for the first time in years, it hit me so hard. I cried so hard listening. Remembering every word to all these songs, as if it were on the back of my hand. You guys just blew me away, all over again. So thank you! Thank you for keeping things real, yet surreal. ❤
Thank you, the album is brilliant .. I am enchanted. One of the few bands in the world that does not disappoint. I love
Dream Theater the best progressive Band In this world, they are legend🤘🤘
One of the best I think so. I'm also Dream Theater fan about 20 years ago. I like Porcupine Tree too, Pain of Salvation and other, but I was grew up with Genesis, ELP and same classic prog bands.
@@ivanyiattila3547 Tool?
@@sean8470 Overrated band.
@@Heatwave9000 overrated? nahh not sure about that I tell yah a band that reminds one of early 90's Dream Theater and that is Haken
I was only 19 years old when first time i listened the song ANOTHER DAY. now that I'm already 44 and discover more of DT MUSIC. I'm now a big fan of this rock band ang still enjoying their music here in saudi arabia🤘🤘🤘
Mangini had to bring back the cymbals down from Mt. Olympus so that we could grasp their majesty. Great Radio Friendly Song. Can't wait for the album.
Ngl I loved the cymbals in outer-space :P I'd love to play that kit (albeit with a 22" kick and not a 24")
They don’t need radio 👍 better being where they’re at right now
The sky high cymbals are actually more comfortable for Mangini. Not sure where they are now including the 4 cylinders and other stuff
What radio do you listen to? Lol
@@BenMichalowicz I love it too. I'm just poking fun at how they're not up there in the video (IMO it is just to get better shots of him Playing the drums from different angles).
One of my favorite songs of Dream Theater
Let's give Jimmy T some love! The guy behind the engineering 👏👏👏
Anyone else get sort of a PULL ME UNDER vibe from this song? Great, amazing song! This album has had 2 songs released and its got me so pumped for its full release!! Beautifully done by the best band in the world!
Had the same thought immediately after listening… and I like it 😆😆😆😆
Exactly 😂. Sounds so much familiar to pull me under
It will be the most DT album in years!!!
100 !!! Even the Intro.
Yes, I can feel the precence of Paul Meander.
"Invisible monster, always felt but never seen
Unwelcome presence refusing to leave"
Finally, a song about my farts
😂😂😂😂😂
ripped a howitzer .5 seconds before reading this comment and i've never felt such a connection with a comment in my life
HAHAHAAHAHHAHAAHHAHHAAAHAHAAAHA
Clearly you have not met my wife's farts.
Lmao
This is the greatest song I've ever heard in my life and I'm not joking in the slightest.
Crying right now. It just went straight to the heart. Such a beautiful song.
So clean, the way you can differentiate everything .. Those solos ; ) .. Yeah, it's DT, that's a heartfelt track though..
I was here when this was released, and I remain here today. Always been a fan, this is just amazing. Endless creativity.
So excited! Can't wait to listen to the whole album - Dream Theater forever!
It's such a wonderful gift, that one of my favorite bands of all time, are still together. Never compromised . Never changing, to follow a fleeting fad. Never any needless drama. Only stimulating art. Like it's supposed to be.
Yes... really sad that a number of listeners don't really get this. Just be grateful they keep on giving it all. Cheers!
Agree, Aaron. There must have been times when when the band members felt somewhat regretful that the market for the music we all love and appreciate isn’t as lucrative as it could be, but surely the band has also realised that the fans who love the music will not leave just for ‘fads’.
I watched the guys play this song live last week in SLC, Utah. Incredible! I love the song and it was perfect live. To hear AND feel the song was so great. Love DT. Best band in the world.
Love it, very catchy. which is the mission from a band. Well done fellas
Hi guys! I listen Dream Theater music for 24 years and knowing for long time that behind every note and specialy word is much more than most people think. And behind this great song is our inner feelings and everything that keeps buggin us, the most important for each one of us how to deal with it. And for me Dream Theater is all about life, especialy how to deal with yourself.
You guys helped me, helping me and will help me a lot and I will be true fan for the rest of my life. Thx a lot for much more than music🎶
Mangini's drums should have sounded this good on A Dramatic Turn Of Events!
I hope they release a remixed version of that album fixing it 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
vai esperar enterrado kkk
There's nothing to "fix" on that album.
@@147pablox i agree i think DTOE stands on its own it is still the best post portnow LP- 'Outcry' is probably my top 5 all time DT favorite songs
Actually I think they need to fix the horrible snare sound on the self titled album. It sounds like "splat" ...I can't enjoy the album! What do you think?
@@Gareththedrummer I respect dream theater as the masters they are on their instrument but I can only hear so much their music is a constant competition of virtuosity amongst themselves
This song made me feel that the band is rescuing a vein they seemed to have lost a decade ago after Portnoy left them. Feels kinda like "Black clouds and silver linings". Congrats, Dream Theater! Hope to watch another show of yours in Brazil, as soon as Covid pandemics is really gone.
Dream Theater the bests of the world !
When dream theater has it's album highlights, it's tough to beat just world class in all departments.
Depression has been my "invisible monster" for the last decade. This well summed up the war within I've been fighting to this day.
Such an awesome video. I love this song. The album is produced and mixed one of the best ever, it's great to hear every layer, especially the bass and cymbals clearly.
EL DISCO ES INCREÍBLEMENTE BUENO, CALIDAD A TODA PRUEBA, LARGA VIDA A DREAM THEATER. SALUDOS DESDE CHILE.
I just love the way John plays his solos uniquely him and his smooth fast accurate and clean technique. 2022 this is indeed a great song. Dream Theater never fails to produce good music thanks to JP.
The Great Song. This is the pure music. This is the one of my favourites now. Love you, guys!
First Dream Theater song I’ve heard. I’m really liking whay I’m hearing.
Boy you have some research ahead of you.
Welcome to DT fandom! Enjoy your journey down the rabbit hole. You’re in for a serious treat!
beautiful song, beautiful John's solo, beautiful video
This album is so good. Labrie sounds the best he has in the past 5 albums.
I love the bass mixing in this album!!!
LaBrie sounds great! Can’t wait to hear the whole album.
Maybe the best song from DT in recently years.
Rememer on the backs of angels... amazing song!
It’s always been a surprise for me to see how melodious a prog metal band can be. Too much technicalities but still catches ears. Long live Dream Theater.
Now THIS is what makes the Theater a wonderful Dream!
This is insane. Best of the best. Loving the new product. Keep it up guys. And like the video also. It really captures players in their best moments. And it's amazing how they nailed all the parts for the video shoot, especially Mike. It just shows material is well known and practiced to perfection. Thx again.
That intro man, THATS SO EPICCCCC with the hard hit,
2:44 The phrasing is pretty cool!
I was looking for this highlight 🤙👍
The first impression reminds me a bit to a mix of the groovy Midtempo Ones like "Paralyzed"/ "Build Me Up, Break Me Down" and "Pull Me Under" / and the more epic things like "On The Backs Of Angels". A solid one but not very spectacular to be honest.
Yeah, these new singles aren't that spectacular compared to D/T. I actually really enjoyed that album a lot, one of my favorites from 2019.
This album is feeling somewhat sleepy
@@VicSellsPeace I enjoy these two singles A LOT more than D/T tracks sincerely
Salah Satu Band yg membentuk player "MUSIK DI MANAPUN BERADA"
I actually enjoy this track alot more now that I'm hearing it alongside the rest of the album, it fits well
Exactly my thoughts, when listening to the album in full I enjoy this song an incredible amount in comparison to a couple weeks back
I love this, best stuff since Black Clouds & Silver Linings which is my favourite album of theirs.
good music , musicians on top , one of my favorite band and album.
Good ol' DT vibes...After years and years, I finally can listen a single DT song from start to end without fw skipping a second!
Essa banda tem uma carga gigante de conhecimento musical e sua harmonia como grupo é sinistra demais! Esses caras são uns aliens mesmo só pode kkkkk Cade os BR aqui na sequencia?Abrssss
São os melhores do mundo, isso sem dúvida nenhuma! Vi eles em SP em 2016, Curitiba em 2019, e ano que vem em Curitiba terei a honra de ver de novo, sempre que possível! Melhor banda que já existiu na face dessa Terra!
@@alisongama2667 Faço dás suas palavras às minhas
tamo junto patrão
Meu amigo acompanho eles desde os anos 90! Minha banda de Rock Favorita
Está me lembrando um pouco a sonoridade do Systematic Chaos, estou gostando
Still got it !!!! Hell yes bring on gen x days metal, always great
I really enjoyed this one!
It's the first time I heard it and I think it's a very well crafted song. I love that melodic theme and the small variations of it. I especially like everything after 3:29... Jordan Rudess added different spices of mystery to that fantastic theme and it sounded really cool. The last small part that ended the song was also a real highlight for me.
This was definitely my cup of tea. Thanks for doing this!
So far this album seems like a cross between Systematic Chaos and Distance over Time, in terms of sound. I really hope the title track isn't another Illumination Theory. So far so good though! Got my copy pre-ordered.
heard this at the wallingford concert a month or so ago, amazing!
Picking up some Pull Me Under vibes. Nothing wrong with that.
