It sounds like he's playing an electric set or something. Well... the producer did insist that he use an electronic snare for I&W... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, the only songs that I liked on there was In the Presence of Enemies I & II. Other than that, it just seemed like (to me anyway) that they were trying too hard to regain their former glory. I dunno. I've tried and tried to get into the album, but just can't. I'm really optimistic about their upcoming one. I hope it will be a good one, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

EmotionDetector Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 QUOTE (Del_Duio @ Feb 23 2009, 11:56 AM) I got I&W yesterday, and so far aside from Pull me Under, Another Day, and Metropolis (my favorite song on this CD) I don't like it as much as 6DOIT, SFAM, or Train of Thought. Sorry, I hear all their fans think it's the best but it's #4 for me. Still good, but I like the other ones I have more so far. Interesting. To each his own, but personally, I&W has to be one of my favourite albums. I think every single track is strong. Yes, Pull Me Under is absolutely epic. Certainly my favourite DT song without a doubt! But songs like Take The Time, Learning To Live, and Wait For Sleep are absolutely tremendous, poetic pieces of work. The whole album has a story-telling, epic feel to it IMO. I will admit though, I have lots of unheard DT that I have yet to familiarize myself with. So, I'm only basing my opinions on what I have heard from DT.

It sounds like he's playing an electric set or something. Very weird. the keyboards are also very low in the mix for a lot of the songs it seems like. 50 listens in, you will still be appreciating I & W, more, and more. Its an epic album. I love it. However it took me many listens before I really got it. When it finally hit me, I could not stop listening to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it took me many listens before I really got it. When it finally hit me, I could not stop listening to it. This is certainly true. That is, except for 'Pull Me Under', which connected with me almost immediately. I swear, the tone of those opening notes is absolutely unreal. Honestly, one of the greatest intros to any song IMO. It's almost like they are soft and peaceful, and yet powerful as they build into the drums coming in. Just an exceptional piece of music. But Tick's theory is correct, especially for all other tracks besides 1 & 2. (I originally bought I&W after hearing 'Another Day') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Del_Duio Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Just listened to ToT again yesterday. I really can't believe that DT fans think that album is bad. It's probably the best metal album I've ever heard. 6DOIT is probably my favorite song(s?) from them so far though. I put on Score just to watch the live version, and then attempt to get into Octavarium (the song). Why does JR have to play all that stuff at the start for SO LONG man?

JR got a new Toy for the Octavarium album.. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e7/Continuum-Side-view.jpg/800px-Continuum-Side-view.jpg His Continuum fingerboard! He used it for the into on the studio version.... and on the live version couldn't help but showing off his new toy... I enjoyed it. Awesome instrument.
