Honestly, if the rest of the album sounds something like this, I will be extremely pleased. The keys in this song sound so fantastic, and the mix between the bass and low end of the guitar really compliment each other, here. I think the aggression is what has been missing from the past couple of albums, and this satisfies that itch for the most part. Hoping for a fairly heavy album overall, this time around.

This is my first time ever listening to Dream Theatre, and I'm 30, I shit you not. Growing up I've always heard of this band and for reasons I do not know, I didn't think I'd like them. So years went by and I just forgot about them. This popped up on my suggestions a few hours ago and I thought, what the hell! Maaaaaan it seems like I've been really missing out! This is incredible. And I see people saying this is nowhere near as good as their older stuff??? If that's the case then I'm in for a treat!

Well, after he had relaxed so well on "Astonishing", he should be! As many people started to think he plays more like a robot, that Portnoy was so much more alive, etc. And what's really sad, they are right. But we know he CAN do better, just remember "Dramatic Turn of Events" - he truly delivered there! And it is great if he has really begun to deliver again!

[@THEREV468]

Veniamin Rozov but on a dramatic turn of events the drum parts were written written by Jp, Mangini had no creative input on that album except for just playing the parts that were given too him, as great of a drummer Mangini is tho, I still don’t think he’s right for dream theatre, as there music is still good, but you could really tell that portnoy was really the heart and soul of the band, and I haven’t heard any instrumentals or drum parts that have had me blown away unlike stuff from constant motion, panic attack, metropolis etc, just don’t hear it anymore. And watching live stuff lately is like meh because Mangini has no charisma at all he plays almost as if he’s bored, where as mike plays with so much charisma and always trying to please the crowd and get them hyped, I love going back and watching there 20th anniversary live album, the quality is so good

A bunch of people and I discovered their music in the mid nineties and never stopped appreciating the shit out of them. No band has given me as much respect for music than DT. Pretty much, every show I've been to, they play a song I've never heard live before and it goes on for like 3 hours. Haven't been this excited about a new song this quickly in a while!

Reaching under water, memories dissipate Eyes begin to open, darkness drifts away Time and space like roses, whose pedals drop and fade And fall into the light as it dreams of yesterday Too much love is not enough for us I was once too blind to see There is nothing sacred, only heaven knows Stop time to watch the sun and look into your soul Too much love is not enough for us I was once too blind to see Too much hope will never be enough It's become so clear to me Too much love is not enough for us I was once too blind to see Too much hope will never be enough The truth is clear to me

[@thecrippler606]

The first album i listened to by Dream Theater was ADToE. That is the album that drew me in. Far from their strongest but impressive enough to get me listening. It has been a strange progression but the more i have listened to Dream Theater the more i have come to love their earlier releases; Train of Thought and Scenes being my top 2 (right now but that will likely change lol). And it wasn't the first listen that made me fall in love with their older albums. They required numerous listens before i came to adore them. I am not sure why the newer releases are more appealing on a first listen while the older take more listens but maybe its complexity. Regardless, it saddens me to see so many comments wishing for the past... Yes they may have been in their prime but new is not a bad thing. I know the mixing on this song sounds a lot like their title album and the vocals are not as organic but the reality of it is, they are getting old. Can you imagine singing for this long and maintaining a voice? no. The guitar work is still dirty and i like what Rudess is doing on this song. Overall, i am pleased with what i hear.

[@joshbriggs9947]

Darth VanKar I completely agree. I think this may be almost a type of transition period for their sound. The album probably won’t break the music scene, but it could set up something that might. But yeah, they’re getting old, they might just be done. Still looking forward to the album though.

[@thecrippler606]

@@joshbriggs9947 When DT said they were taking the jamming/improve approach i got excited and i can see the difference in the two songs released so far. With the raw guitar into and the clean break in the middle, the bass, and the dynamic keys, this is a strong song . I think the reason Dream Theater fans are so particular and picky is because of the bar DT has set for themselves. We are comparing these new songs to older DT but if we compared it to other new releases i still think it is on another level. Oh and I've pre ordered the album and have my tickets for their upcoming tour of DOT and SFaM tour.

Why would you put this video unlisted and let the unofficial re-uploads get all the views? I don't understand these business decisions.

[@gigisonishvili5281]

Same

[@zabunia]

The unofficial uploads were taken down by the rights holder - I think it said SME - for a while yesterday, but appear to be back now. IIRC, the uploader has confirm (to KZbin) that someone else owns the rights to content in the video before the video is allowed back on. So while unofficial videos get some views, the label still gets the ad revenue. But yeah, I don't get why this video is still unlisted. More views, more attention.

[@PaddyFullyRandom]

This is usually how you get exclusivitiy with extra attention from the platform you are premiering over. Views don't make the money either, neither will the album sales. So there's nothing lost. Only merch and touring make significant income.

[@ianmitnick8245]

Because now bands with their manager and label make youtube deals - in other words its like how many times a band's song got played on the radio and money royalties - so if this is inside out music and Dream Theater they have an agreement with either you tube views or youtube viewers and the band agrees to get a certain amount of money agreed upon with youtube views - just like any other youtube video channel - i think the best way to describe it is similar to radio station plays of a song over and over and royalties

[@ianmitnick8245]

and yes much more money is made from live concerts and merch than youtube plays and radio but they do get money from youtube views - some money but i guess it adds up - most of it is live concerts and merchandise - that is right -

As a long-term fan (was a mild observer from 93-95, became die-hard in 96, have seen them at least once on every tour since 97), I have never been so completely obsessed with a new single by DT. This is molten gold. Untethered Angel seemed merely 'par for the course', but this is lean-forward-in-your-chair "YES". Meaty intro riff, big chorus, amazing melodic breakdown section, tight key solo, shred outro solo, gold, gold, gold. After the well-meaning regression that was The Astonishing, I hope this LP regains the momentum they had with the brilliant self-titled 2013 disc. Got my tix for LA in March, my 23rd show.
