Entre_Perpetuo Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Okay, I've heard it now. Barstool Warrior sounds like a lost Images And Words track. It isn't a copy of any particular song or formula from that album, but it sounds exactly like something they would've written and produced back then. Many of the other tracks have a similar vibe, especially production wise, but that one really stood out. I for one really enjoy the first three tracks, and maybe it's just because I'd heard two of them a couple times before the whole album, but those are the ones sticking in my head. Really tho...nothing I didn't enjoy, and a lot of really cool and unexpected moments. If you'd told me this was a lost 90s DT record I would whole heartedly believe you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sense trying to convince someone who doesn't want to listen to good new music. Okay, Duck. See you in three years! :P 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSHHEAD666 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I'm really shocked to see all the positive reviews for this album. I'm going to need to give it another listen, because I heard very little that I really cared for. Me too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ytserush Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Maybe it actually sucks and i was just starved for any glimmer of good DT. so at the slightest morsel i went nuts, lol. Either way it's in my top 5 DT albums Mick I'll know if that's the case for me in two weeks when the version of the album I ordered finally gets delivered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cygnus 2112 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I lost faith in Dream Theater after the mess that was The Astonishing. After reading the last few pages here, it looks like I'm going to have to grab this on payday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take it from a former DT Hater but was obsessed with them from "Day And Dream Unite" up to "Scenes" Then 6 Degrees came out and I was done. I saw that tour. The Warfield.I was about to leave early and the band played "By Tor" I raced to the floor. Saw that cover and split. Been hit and miss ever since. You will love this record. If you hate it I will send you a refund in concealed cash. I actually have 80 Canadian dollars still left from my trip to see Geddy and Alex on the wine tour. If you hate this new DT album I will mail you a 20 dollar bill. Canadian. Deal? Not everyone gets my late night schtick but hey, I am a real dude. Life is short! Rock And Roll will live FOREVER!

After reading the last few pages here, it looks like I'm going to have to grab this on payday. Wait, all it took was one bad album for you to lose faith? Maybe you were already soured on them before that, I don't know. I wasn't enthusiastic about this album at first but as bad as the Astonishing was, I never lost faith they could deliver again. This album went well beyond expectations though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmotionDetector Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 What does everyone think of the "bonus track" Viper King? The song is so non-Dream Theater, but rocks hard! Love the chorus and the bad-ass riff! So good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the chorus and the bad-ass riff! So good. I get that it doesn't fit with many of the songs. But a handful of the songs are standard, pedestrian DT by numbers. Viper King is spectacular and deserved full recognition as an album track! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
