So, now that we've heard the album, how apt does MP's earlier comparison of the songs to TGP, PMU, ACOS, 8VM and LTL now seem? (Assuming, of course, he meant it literally, which may not be the case. But it's less fun to talk about that way
)
A Rite Of Passage - Clearly the Pull Me Under song, albeit differently structured
The Shattered Fortress - Well, any song that reprises as much of The Glass Prison as this one does.... Really aren't too many other choices
The Best Of Times - Same kind of vibe as Learning To Live. A 4/4 Learning To Live, but has the same upbeat-ness to it. Which is awesome.
The Count Of Tuscany - I guess Octavarium
Wither - No idea, and probably a good defense for the argument that MP didn't mean to be taken literally. But nevermind that.
A Nightmare To Remember - If this song is meant to be A Change Of Seasons.... I dunno. It definitely explores quite a bit of sonic territory, but not nearly to the extent that ACOS does obviously. ANTR also repeats itself quite a bit, to the point where you can literally pinpoint where the recycling begins. I mean, I like the song, but I'd compare it to like, Lines In The Sand meets The Dark Eternal Night, if anything.
