Dream Theater - Invisible Monster (Teaser)

[@JoelWard1]

Based on this and The Alien, one thing is clear: this album will have some of the best mixing done in the history of DT. Like come on, those drums sound absolutely killer. Bravo recording and mixing engineers!! You get way too little credit anyway.

[@larusso-synthwave3168]

I think this is the album where DT Fans will give Mangini a break, and finally be able to feel like he's a part of the bands legacy, and stepping out of Mike's shadow.

[@Bogeyman19DidNotScareMyAss]

I rank them like this: #1. Mike #2. Mike No changing my mind

[@dollglass]

don’t think so, DT fans MUST complain about anything. It’s not hard to still find comments about MooreXRudees or whatever, but the delicious part is watching the band moving forward regardless of what the toxic fan base think and giving us every 2-3years a new album! :D Pity for those who cannot enjoy their music - but give them views anyways :D

[@willspeakman2461]

Distance over time did that for me. Still enjoyed his earlier albums but that one felt like something clicked.

[@kevztunz]

I think they are settling into a "new" sound with Mangini. His playing is so much more prominent, and you can tell he's pushing the other players to come with him.

[@xBaphometHx]

Finally, they are adapting to Mangini's drumming style, and not only the other way around.

0:22 based on what I'm hearing i feel like Myung and Mangini will be the most talked about member when this album comes out

[@drummerstar1190]

as much as I miss Portnoy, Mangini feels like yes incorporating some type of the old drum licks into this new album which is fine by me I think he's been holding back and just doing the bare minimum now he seems to be more comfortable and will be offering more behind the kit

Acho que esse álbum vai ter a melhor mixagem e produção desde o Awake. Mixagem e equalização era um ponto fraco nos álbuns recentes (principalmente no de 2013 😣), mas por esse trecho nessa música e a faixa 'The Alien', a mixagem deu um salto de qualidade enorme. Finalmente lembraram que tem um baixista na banda kkkkk.

The monster ignores me Enjoying the feast GUITAR SOLO "Hang on," says someone, ""Are you going mad? I can't see a monster Is your eyesight that bad?" To which I say "Nonsense! There's a monster right there, Eating my motorbike It's very unfair." :( KEYBOARD SOLO "I think," says the other guy "You're losing your mind, Seeing monstrous sights That others can't find" "Oh yeah!?" I say boldly "Then tell me, what's THIS?" And I hold up a tooth The size of my fist BASS SOLO "Oh shit," says the guy, "What the hell's that? Looks like the fang Of a vampire bat." "Damn right," I say proudly "Now who's going insane?" It is time to go hunting Serve up some pain DRUM SOLO So off we go hunting Me and that dude Hunting a monster In our neighbourhood But that monster's so quick He's kicking our ass Eaten my motorbike, Drank all the gas HARP SOLO Invisible monster Winning the race Invisible monster Leaving no trace Invisible monster I do not like Invisible monster Ate my motorbike Yeah
