Nice, I wasn't expecting this so soon. I'm cautiously optimistic at this point.

 

[AngraRULES]

Looking forward to this, although it might be safer to just log in a little later since there will be a LOT of people tuning in...

 

[Yonfon]

very interested in hearing what it will sound like. Im hoping for a departure from their previous couple of albums. Myung writing more should make it great.

 

[Harvester]

Awesome song.

 

[AngraRULES]

Just finished listening to it... What do you guys think?

 

[Metaldrumz]

My only beef is the mandatory Jordan noodling close to the 6 minute mark.....other than that I think its awesome!

 

[NVARAS]

I liked the song a lot. I hope that is not the album artwork...

 

[AeonicSlumber]

Well, I am eating my words. This is the best thing I've heard from Dream Theater in a long time. Completely makes me forget about the last two albums which I hated. Fingers crossed the rest of the album is this good.

 

[DemonOfTheWoods]

No complaints whatsoever!

 

[The_Metal_Messiah]

I am SOOOO happy right now. This song absolutely slays. And I absolutely Jordan's little clean piano solo part. I've missed those....

 

[nomisofsiman]

Excellent track.

 

[Metaldrumz]

After listening with headphones Mangini is too low in the mix. During the Petrucci solo his snare is buried. As a drummer this is an absolute no no for me!

 

[AngraRULES]

*VERY* solid track. Looking forward to the new disc more than ever!

You do realize you're listening to this streaming off of YouTube, right?

I think it is safe to shelve the mandatory mix complaints until after the actual CD is released.

Love the song also. Very very excited to hear the album.

LOL That's exactly what I thought when I read that!

 

[nailz]

I don't like it, it bored me to absolute tears. But then, I didn't expect anything more from this band.

 

[AngraRULES]

...And it looks like the gates have opened for the haters to come offer the always insightful remarks!

 

[Metaldrumz]

I listened to the 720 HD version, and I don't think the mix will be THAT much different on the album from this youtube clip. You can spare the audiophile remarks as I understand compression, clipping and all that stuff.

The youtube stream isn't going to compress the snare drum sound that drastically IMO.

Hell my radio show only streams at 128 and the day after I premiered the Pagans Mind song "Intermission" on my show it popped up on youtube. Although the quality suffered greatly between the combo you could still get an idea of the overall MIX.

Again that aside I *LIKE* the song.

I liked the song a lot. I hope that is not the album artwork...

I think the artwork is just for the single, and I think it's awesome!

Unfortunately my iPhone won't play the clip so I'll have to wait until I get home to hear it
