Just a few small observations about the new album!
Is anyone else pissed that there are no songs penned by John Myung on
this album? Myung and Moore were always the best song writers.
Seems to be a lot more religious overtones on this album than there has
been in the past. It may just be the nature of the content or I may be
drunk.
James actually has two songs on this disc?!?! I think that is a record
for him.
The new album gets four and a half devil horns out of five \m/ \m/ \m/
\m/ \m !!!

<<6 Degrees - Wow. Wow. That's about all I can think of. It starts off
sounding like a movie soundtrack with overture - like no other prog I've
ever heard, really. The lyrics are a bit stronger here, I feel. It takes
you through some quite heavy parts, and then slows down, then bursts into
one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard (Solitary Shell!!! Yes!).
I had chills through half of it. Here's the new orchestral sound that must
have Jordan layering at least 8 tracks in some places. Very very cool, even
though I imagine he'll have to automate a lot of that live..>>
I finally noticed someone else had the same reaction I did to "Solitary Shell". This is destined to be my favorite DT song. It is
absolutely perfect. The chorus just blows me away everytime I hear it. I do like the edit version on the advance fan club CD slightly
better as it lets the song breathe by itself. It's a great high point of the 42 minute epic as well. This song and "Misunderstood" need
to be the singles from this release. I think both SHOULD do well...if there is a God.

I can't believe no one's mentioned this - the similarities between
Solitary Shell and Peter Gabriel's Solsbury Hill. Very similar chord
progressions, both in 7, and very similar thematic material.
Anyone agree?

With the recent success of club tours by Fear Factory, Megadeth, Judas
Priest, Devin Townsend, Bruce Kulick, Tomahawk, Fantomas as well as great
shows by Slayer, Machine Head, Tool, among others, it's definately worth a
shot to try to get DT down here.
The local scene is thriving here at the moment, metal in general is as
popular as ever and who better to support DT than our very own Vanishing
Point!!! Let's go for it!! What do we have to lose??
ARE YOU READING THIS MR. PORTNOY?????

We did the same thing a couple years back and no interest, they
even spelt DT's name wrong when they replied to the petition :(

Did you see that Mike signed the petition too? :) I think they have
a better chance this time around, at least from what I have heard
from Gary, the lunatic that really wants them there. :)
You can sign the petition even if you don't live in Australia. So
everyone, go sign it www.ozdt.com and help the fellow jammers!
6 Do It --- it ROCKS! I was very positively surprised... yet again...
How can those guys keep on making stuff like this? *shakes her
head* My only problem is with the lyrics -- but then again, lyrics
have never been *that* important for me in Dream Theater...
Bummer that they skipped Finland this time around... Sure hope
that they will come here on the 2nd leg...
Tanja -- who can't even remember the last time she posted here...
Time to breath fire into this place! I still prefer this list to all the
1003829 forums on the net...

That same thought hit me on my way in to work this morning. It took me a
minute or two to actually figure out why it had that familiar sound. I'm
surprised this is the first time somebody has brought it up.

To the guy that said the petrucci and rudess acoustic
solos on solitary shell sound like the stuff they did
on the "Night with Rudess and Petrucci" or however
it's named cd, I agree completely. It's exactly the
same thing, except for the fact that the other guys
are playing on it as well. The thing that I love the
most about that part is that we get the chance to
listen to Portnoy play some jazz music!!! I think
that's the first time I've heard him play jazz, and he
sounds awesome. Even though I consider Mike to be an
amazing drummer, I've always considered that he needs
to jazz things up a little bit every now and then, to
show some more looseness and syncopation (sp?) in his
playing. So this part of Solitary Shell is definitely
a step in the right direction. Great going Mike!!!

I still think Moore was DT's greatest loss, especially lyrically. He
wrote some of their best lyrical material by far, and his songwriting
was incredible. Myung is an excellent lyricist too, too bad he didn't
write anything for this album. His lyrics on SfaM were probably the
best on that release out of all the others.
Any bets on when Rudess writes his first song for DT? :-P

Uh... Let's see now. Finally Free? Or how about Misunderstood?
Or do you mean lyrics? Because I know he's written songs, just no lyrics.
