[@pizzacastello]

It's a blessing when a song doesn't need vocals to become a unity. This is a true masterpiece.

[@willhorton4779]

Listening to this right now at the maternity. My baby was born yesterday and my wife reminded me of this song during labor time! How awesome is that?? 🤘❤️

[@RAPPPER4LIFE]

You have to have a great understanding of music to listen to this, that's what makes DT so amazing.

[@ladymadamblueberry]

This isn't DT though, it's Liquid Tension Experiment :-/

[@cameodamaneo]

Before anyone else puts their two cents worth in, let me give mine. It's Liquid Tension Experiment, which contains 3 members of Dream Theater and 1 that isn't. Sorry Tony Levin, you're not part of the club!

[@DarkSim64]

I disagree :P You need either: Great understanding of music or: Great taste in music I have no musical knowledge at all, but I prefer bands who make music that is out of the ordinary. Constant 4/4 tempo and a basic structure gets very predictable and boring after a while. Prog rock or metal does the exact opposite of "predictable music"

[@diboshroy1076]

Cameron Pearce well portnoy clearly stated that he would like non dt members... but dimebag who was his first choice was unavailable. steve morse and jim matheos were his other choices.. but they weren'ty available either . so he went with petrucci

[@cameodamaneo]

Dibosh Roy I get that. Then by share luck they convinced Jordan Rudess to join them in DT.

[@wookieblaster]

So emotional, so powerful. Damn. I wish I could make my guitar sing like that...

[@RevellAndRepend]

One of the best LTE songs imo, such a complete piece

I thought writing a 13 minute instrumental would be too much, but this shows it's not. Thanks! :)

[@horrifficlyterrific]

After all this time, I still find it amazing they recorded experiment 1&2 in less than 2 weeks.... amazing!

Dec 2020 and I still listen to this constantly. What is it... 20 years old? Round and round forever, I guess. Well, on my phone, but you get it.

[@jksngtrs90]

I think he thinks so too. It's one solo that perfectly nails his signature style.

[@axlh.1827]

4:13 my favorite part of the entire song, I don’t know what it is about that part but it’s so uplifting & atmospheric

thats that newscaster intro shit

[@leslibiesman1453]

What about "La Villa Strangiato" by Rush?

[@UndoneFakeJesu]

This is still better

[@humanimal5527]

I mean they're very different songs. This is more of a shredfest.

[@bave8927]

la villa is hard to beat... im gonna just say i like both and leave it at that. no competition here.

[@NewhamMatt]

I'm more of a "Kindred Spirits" or "Universal Minds" person myself, although my preference to those songs is kind of like preferring St Paul to St Peter.

[@MrGtr2go]

[@creatinovic]

10:11 god this note. so beautiful

[@lpsp442]

I remember discovering Acid Rain over a decade ago and just listening to it on loop for hour after hour on end - yet somehow it's taken me all this time to listen to a full length set by LTE. WHY?! Why did it take me so long?! This is beautiful, glorious, listening *gold*

[@willstokes123]

John's baby was born in the middle of recording the track, that's why there's a baby at the start

14:50 I Love this arpeggio 😭😭😭😭👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@jasunkarner3916]

The groove that starts at 10:48 reminds me a lot of "The Other One" by The Grateful Dead. The Grateful Dead is an unlikely, ridiculous even, association when comes to the work of LTE and Dream Theater. I'm sure it was completely accidental. The groove is somewhat unique, but still something any common artist might eventually stumble upon. Also, I've never heard any of these guys mention the Grateful Dead as an influence, and their sound definitely backs that up. But they are obviously about as well-rounded as it gets and extremely studied, so who knows? Anyways, thought I'd just point it out. LTE rules! 🤘🤘

[@UrsBolt]

Great music. Monumental play in all variations.

[@MRAS_]

This is the kind of music that keeps me focused, gives me something to think about, while I study boring monotonous text books.

that drumm solo at 4:50 is seriously the best solo portnoy have ever created . what's with people calling him overrated . 99% of them were at least kids in 1999 if not even born . jeez

amazing tone

[@lifeisprog449]

16:49 That sounds like the show ends, the curtains fall and it was all just a theatre play. While this little segment sounds, all the people are leaving the theatre while members of the staff say to them : "Goodybe Mr, goodbye Ms, thank you for coming" but all of a sudden, the theatre explodes and a nano nucleonic cyborg summoning starts which ends in the eradication of the 80% of world's human population and the beginning of The New World Algae Order where human societies that survived are controlled with helmets with circuits made of Algae, Phytoplankton and Chlorophyll so after conducting oxygenic photosynthesis they create enough energy to keep the energy flowing through the circuits and being able to leave the human in a catatonic state of mind in which he becomes a slave from his thoughts and the executioner of his own soul... at least that's what i understood from that part.
