Astonishing was bad album dt 13 was a poor album and their last one was terrible

[@linuxuser2142]

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!

[@lunchbucket2494]

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.

[@linuxuser2142]

@@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..

[@4themusicman]

Agree. James sounds much more natural in a lower register. I'm sure this will also alleviate voice strain in concert.

[@Steve0885]

It's because the old style was ruining his vocals

[@Metalton95]

Basically what Arjen did with Ayreon in 2004 on The Human Equation. The last decade must have been torture for LaBrie’s vocal chords.

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.

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

This band lineup has also finally hit its stride.

@@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).

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!

Ребята! Не нравится - не слушайте! Я с Дримом уже 30 лет. Понятно, что никто не молодеет, но разложите эту музыку по инструментам. Кто любит Дрим - поймет меня. Это таланты. Обосрать можно всё что угодно. А вы так сможете написАть и сыграть? Ребята молодцы. Стараются и не пропадают с рынка. Не нравится - вас никто не заставляет слушать, а тем более сравнивать с другими группами. Дрим -это дрим. Только фанаты поймут. Пусть даже будут повторы. Пусть "копировать- вставить". Но! Обсуждают всегда Лидеров. А они первые в прогрессивном металле! Dream Theater forewer!

Beautiful! I just rewatched the drummer auditions. Mike, you're doing a great job, man!! ❤️🌹

[@MaimiZhang]

After several months of listening to it, gotta say it's becoming MORE & MORE GORGEOUS to me. The full album setlist is solid and nothing is skippable.

[@jichola]

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.

[@jichola]

Wow. I love this combination of animated and played sequences, it speaks to me on so many levels... superb!

[@Rizvimetal]

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. 🤘👏🇧🇩

[@MasterJediDude]

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!

[@gerpereiramarques]

at last we can hear drums without so much compression...! previous records with mangini sound like a robot!

[@hansgruber2913]

Dream Theater is by far my favorite band but I wish they would concentrate on vocal melodies. The Alien and Invisible Monster have poorly written vocal parts (Nothing wrong with Labrie's voice) It is like writing the vocals parts was secondary on these two. Very disappointing. Dream Theater use to make very catchy but complex songs. I don't know what happened with these two songs from this album. I hope the remaining five are killer but not a good start IMO. Not trying to sound like someone the song "Never Enough" was written about...just being honest

[@robinkarlsson8038]

I gotta agree, the music is stellar as usual but it does seem like (at least on this song) they could've come up with something a bit more catchy melody-wise for the chorus.

[@deoccultist]

This sounds more like classic DT. I haven't really loved a DT album since Six Degrees.

[@FirstLast-cd6vv]

What don't you love about the albums after 6 degrees?

[@deoccultist]

@@FirstLast-cd6vv I call it their Pantallica era where everything got heavier. I don't dislike any of it, it's just not what I prefer. A Dramatic Turn Of Events was great, though. The mix wasn't the best, but it had more of that I&W vibe to it. I liked the self-titled album okay. The more melodic and playful side is what I like most, not the chuggy metal riffing and rougher vocals.

[@coachbrandon01]

@@deoccultist I have been a fan 30 yrs, but I am a much bigger fan of the Portnoy era. I think it was his contribution in the writing. This sounds much more like Portnoy era song.

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!

[@BourhilOthmane]

Mangini in all his music videos with DT plays his drum parts EXACTLY like they sound on the song, this too has too much to say, he can replay anything he records, sometimes I ve seen Portnoy not playing exactly the same thing with the neal morse bands and transatlantic, made me always feel sad cuz he could've done it if he wanted to.

[@ihatemybrain9478]

Good song

[@benbong4577]

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
