Given that it's from the label's official youtube channel, then I assume it's the real thing.

Yeah, the cover looks like something from a YES record. Not that I don't like YES, but come on DT!

One listen struck me as a pretty good song. Not mindblowingly good, and not crap. I'll hear it a few more times before the day is done to let it sink in.

It looks like a generic prog metal record cover. Kind of like... Black Clouds, Systematic Chaos, Octavarium, Metropolis Pt. 2, Falling into Infinity, Awake, and Images & Words.
 Symbolically you could assume the album cover means it is above the Black Clouds with the Silver Linings. It didn't have to go too far up. EDIT: Upon a couple more listens I rather like the song. The verses are kind of slow paced but everything else is generally pretty good. Those orchestra hits by Rudess rub me the wrong way though. Edited by topofsm - 29 Jun 2011 at 4:36pm |

Lost respect for these archives when I saw Creed added, among other bands. Not going to be foruming here anymore. You can keep my reviews if you want.

Pretty much. Though DT's problem for me as of late (like the last 3 albums) has been inconsistency...so they need the whole album to strike me. |

Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer and Testament. The real Big Four of thrash metal!
Listen to doom metal, worship Satan |

I really like the song. Not their best, but a great track overall. And that's after only one listen.

Hey guys, how's your impression of the drumming? Is it different from before and all that business?

I honestly couldn't hear, there was a new guy behind the kit. DT didn't go for the: "wow, let's show the world our new drummer on this track."
Regarding the track, I thinks it really grows on you. Maybe not one of their best songs ever written - but hey that would be pretty wild, considering the back-catalogue of great songs these guys have . I really like the way the song opens with a choir. It gives it an epic feel, that makes me look forward to the album itself.

Yeah I know from interviews and such that Mangini wasn't involved in much of the writing process, so this album will still probably have that same, classic Portnoy/ Dream Theater sound with maybe a few influences from Mangini here and there. |
