It comes out Friday. I ordered my Japanese pressing of course along with the new Megadeth. Both covers are slightly similar. I heard the new DT single. Very radio friendly but very melodic and cool.

J2112YYZ Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 ^^^^^ im convinced the leaks are planned as well. Everything leaks and you never hear of anyone getting busted for it Yep, I've thought this for a long time now too. It's not like these leaks happen on obscure pages or anything. The most popular torrent sites always have them. Maybe there's legal action that needs to take place in order to prevent the leaks and the record companies just don't feel like going through that for every album. Still, you would think we would hear about people getting in trouble but we never do. It's an inside job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer "Tom Sawyer." LOL!!!!! I thing I really love about you Myles is your avatar addiction. You have "Dancing Undercover" by RATT right now. I am totally blown away. It's the only RATT album cover that has the band on it. EPIC. Listening some GHOST right now. So glad I met these guys. So nice. Everyone in Dream Theater was nice when I met them at The Stone in SF on the Images Tour. Well everyone except the midget Napoleon Blue Beard Mike Port Annoy. Honestly, as much as a Dream Theater Whore I was during the first two ATCO record releases I have a confession to make., I think the band is better without Mike. I didn't really care for the album with the stupid uni-cycle clown in the sky on a tightrope. Actually I think that cover really ripped off SUPERTRAMP. Anyway the last self titled album was excellent. I heard a lot a Rush influence on that record. Cliche but I like the new Mike better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick!!! You are setting me up for FAILURE!! Your reverse psychology can't fool me! Shit, I will probably love it. What irony. However I just confessed that I really enjoyed the last record. Hmmmmmmmm........................... I'm staying home Friday just so I can listen to the new album. Being single sucks anyway. I'm already tired of going out every weekend trying to catch the same fish in the same old pond. Yawn. I would rather drink beer alone and listen to prog. Fuckk it. I will never grow up.

Del_Duio Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Friday is the day I get my partial shipment of the ultra deluxe box set I purchased from Roadrunner (The Full Monty with Vinyl etc). So I am very much looking forward to some new DT. Scenes From A Memory PT2 is my all time fav so I am sure this is right in my wheelhouse. They better have some or a Florida date this go around or I will be quite pissed off!!! Well it's not as good as SFAM I can tell you that now. I really like it, but it's on that level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Right, so having finally finished the album, this is my verdict: 7/10 I do not think this is a low score. It certainly isn't the highest, but this is why: I swear I have heard most of this album already. Countless times songs will play and I could honestly believe you if you had said they had come from earlier releases. I hear little variety, not one single song stood out as phenomenal, and overall, I really enjoyed this but I was hoping for something brand spanking new from DT. The last track, The Astonishing, ends the album in a very abrupt way. This type of record deserved an overture. Definitley would recommend it, and hopefully it will grow on me. As I said, 7/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I liked it on my first listen but my reaction after my second listen was rather indifferent. Kind of like I couldn't care less if I ever heard it again. I'll listen to it on headphones next and see if that changes anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am finding the DT sound rather sterile, no texture... I still really like them, but I find it hard to see them as one of the greats. But a wonderful band, and a really good album, all the same! And I think The Astonishing may improve with further listens, this is just my full initial reaction after one play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del_Duio Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Ravenskill is awesome, so's Lord Nafaryus too. The keyboards on these songs are great, say what you will this might be one of Jordan's best contributions to DT overall.I kind of like how MM's not super overplaying everything (how is anybody used to listening to Portnoy think he's overplaying the songs??) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think The Astonishing may improve with further listens, this is just my full initial reaction after one play. I'm in the same boat with them... I think they are talented, but they put in too many "notes for the sake of notes" which to me takes the musicality out of some of the tunes....GRANTED...they over-play because that's what's expected of them, but to me that detracts from them becoming "one of the greats"....I'm also not a fan of the revolving door musician thing... I liked the original band with Kevin Moore, and then liked what they did with Derek Sherinian...and don't get me wrong, Rudess is an amazing player...just not the guy that belongs in this band, and I can't say I like Magnini. What I've heard of the new album so far is decent, but "formulaic" DT music..they're stuff is all starting to sound the same. Once I'm able to get through the album, I'll be a little more specific on things, but what I've heard so far is "ok" and not blowing me away! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
