In this video I react to In the Presence of Enemies parts one and two
Hi, I'm Dean Wolfe, a classic prog-rock guitar teacher on TH-cam. I grew up on 70s progressive music but abandoned the genre by the 90s because it was too 'hard-edged' for me. My all-originals prog band was rejected by record labels as "too progressive' in the late 80s, so i went into grunge, pop and alternative instead (then folk and acoustic fingerstyle guitar).
2020 was the year of my return to prog and the discovery of 30 years of great music which I'd paid no attention to- until now!
I also will react to 70s and 80s prog that i overlooked, like gentle giant, camel, etc.

Interesting seeing a dream theater "newcomer" playing these tracks back to back as they were opener and closer. Cool
It was a mistake. This is 2 parts of 1 track.
It was supposed to be one song but they decided to break them up. One thing that's awesome is hearing how the end of the first song leads into the second whereas it also perfectly leads into the 2nd song on the album.
@@nikelodeon6852 what was a mistake? He is reacting to the entire song.
@@bassimprovjams3772 The mistake by the band to split it up on the album
@@nikelodeon6852 I don’t disagree,
These proggy professional poets persist patiently producing passionate perfection. You have years of fresh listens on these guys to come i love it.
@LordSpongy That's some A-grade absolutely amazing and astronomically astounding alliteration from you there :)
The plethora of p's in your prose is peculiarly pleasing. Props! Peace.
Bars, BARS!!!!
The humble genius of Myung gets a chance to shine. Excellent.
cant upvote this enough
Yayayayaya! My bass god!! I see he might be yours as well! 💪🤘🤘
Your first DT album should be Metropolis Part 2: Scenes From A Memory. DT really is the greatest band.
Best band ever ! I discovered them in 1987 and the love story continues !
You've gotta listen to some Liquid Tension Experiment.
Sorry I screwed up ! Suppose to be on the public view
Yea maybe but not to react to, it’s a whole journey you first have to sit down with the booklet and read the lyrics and see what characters are speaking at what time so you know exactly what is going on, same with the Astonishing, you can’t just listen to it you gotta read along to get used to it
@@gleebyers dayum man! How did you hear them back in 87?!? They were still majesty then
While I hog hardest for more classic DT, especially the chunkier bits of Awake, this track has always been up there for me. They really kind of embraced fictional writing and the contemporary heavy metal sound at the time and the album wasn't bad at all. Couple tracks haven't dated well for me but that's music always.
Awake is without a doubt my favorite DT album
I agree, I do love this whole album tho, this just gives me a reason to sit down with nothing to do and jam it and see someone’s reaction to it
I absolutely love that you put words on the screen expressing your thoughts instead of interrupting the music. I understand why some people do that but part of the appeal, to me, is hearing the song again but I understand that I've listened to it hundreds of times so it's not like I'm missing anything. I just prefer not pausing it if I don't have to.
Well said. I completely agree.
Top 5 DT songs. (Together) the live version is killer. Labrie embodies the characters so well.
I’ve always felt this album was underrated. It’s my favorite from the bad. Something about it as a whole from start to finish that always just felt right to me.
It’s absolutely An amazing album! I still. Remember getting it the day it came out and sitting in the parking lot jammin it! The ending of presence of enemies pt1 what JP plays is a so amazing! I think it was smart to break the track up but I do love listening to pt 1 &2 back to back
Finally someone reacting to these 2 part together ... Bravo sir!
I have a newfound appreciation for the almost 4 minute long instrumental section starting at 19:03. It's just nasty chaos the whole way through.
its time for your reckoning
This whole album is underrated, i love it!
Just amazing! Love that you did both parts!🙏🏻The Masters!!!🤟🏻
Images and Words Dean!!! That was the foundation album and everything else comes after. John Myung is god at bass🤘🏽🖤
Oh yea! 💪🤘🤝
Oh boy! Here we go! Love the 4 minute instrumental intro and then the lyrics come in so well. Glad your getting into DT. As a fellow Rush fanatic, I'm happy to see your still on the prog metal path. So much more new prog to uncover too. You've got your work cut out for you. Thanks for this great reaction!
Part 2 is my favourite DT track by miles. This should be fun! =)
I really love this track both 1 & 2! Great content as always '))
Part 1: 0:46 Part 2: 9:39
I'm way more of a fan of 2. I try to lump 1 in out of pity tbh lol. 2 chugs. Absolute banger
@@professorfrond2234 that's great, most people I encountered only liked the part one 😅
I've spent the last couple of months working on the final solo of part 1 as an alternate picking exercise. As a relative beginner, it's been quite daunting.
Love the captions
definitely, just like the ASMR videos. fits with the video much better rather than interrupt it with the voice. a reasoned stuff.
Nice how you followed part 1 by part 2. I usually listen to the rest of the album in between.
idk if its criminal but i only listen to part 2 skip 1😂
You should watch the live version of this from the Chaos in Motion tour. If not for a reaction video then in your own time. Seeing them do this live is wild. And LaBrie sounds as good as the album.
This is a masterpiece
How can anyone not LOVE this song, it's a journey.
Who doesn’t love it? Unless you don’t like DT not you but other people
2nd favorite song from DT, absolute masterpiece
Lol they really needed to be reigned in after this album
Great song ..... constant motion is another good one
I'm a huge DT fan but I'd remove the section around 9:15 to 13:15 in part 2. There's pretty much always a song like this from each album where the structure is fairly typical but has an extended bridge section which doesn't serve the song. I get that the thrash section was building up into something but 4 minutes of solos isn't really what I want.
Love your close to the edge vinyl!! New here do you have any DY vinyls yet? Hope you enjoy them! The chant that happens is actual fans that they invited into the studio to chant! Super cool rite?
thanks for the info, that is cool. No, I don't have any DT vinyl. I've had to hold off on buying because I have vinyl I bought that I haven't even listened to yet. I got carried away when I bought a turntable.
@@deanwolfechannel lmao completely understandable there lol thanks for the polite reply mane! Enjoy your channel!!
You need some Kansas on your wall too (the 70s version).
I'll put the album I was gifted there (and no, I haven't listened to it yet, as will a lot of my albums....time is the biggest luxury really.)
Great song, for me it resembles Rush a lot.
The Odyssey Symphony x! Please!
Yes!!!
You should react to Instrumedley live at Budokan great DT performance.
23:10 The lead is a Keyboard Synth not a Guitar. Btw great reaction
Got four CD's of DT. I listened day and night. They have got some lame stuff but mostly this technical work was the kind of music I like. I always thougt it was ok to have a chewy lame song to hear after a technical song just to be able to recover a bit 😀
Alright, excellent song.
Not every band had a John Myung, oh by that I mean, no band has a John Myung.
You need to check out Symphony X 🇬🇧🤘
If you take away the "Astonishing" album DT has few bad songs. Just songs that are more good.
You would love Liquid Tension Experiment
Musically as per usual it’s fantastic but I always felt these lyrics were cheez whiz incarnate
LOL
@@deanwolfechannel it's based off of a korean comic book called Priest & the lyrics came from dialogues of the characters
The best song on this album is Repentance. The rest are spinning the same old wheel.
