The duet with his daughter brought a tear to my eye when I first heard it- in a good way, not a Dedicated To chaos way! I really felt it, got the message it was meant to portray, and that's not something that happens to me often.

I agree.  However, although I understand what they were going for, they could have and should have gotten a better child vocalist.  After the initial novelty wore off, rather than having the powerful emotional impact the song should have, I am simply distracted by how bad Emily's (and Geoff's, for that matter) vocals are.

i've not listened to it enough for that to happen I guess, and I found the fact that Emily's voice wasn't "professional"  made the impact more real. And Geoff has screwed his voice, and for that I lost alot of respect for him.

Eh, that song with his daughter was horrible. It was completely contrived. It wasn't believable at all to me. Particularly seeing them do it live.

i also think a child singer (who is a real singer) should have sang the part. Honestly, the contrived part of that tune was that tate was trying to get Silent Lucidity pt. 2 to my ears.

This Samsära guy doesn't post too much, but he's pretty much always right.  :tup

Since we're on a bit of a nostalgia trip, I was watching this the other day and I literally felt pain in my heart that this is lost forever. The music, the performance, the atmosphere... what happened to these guys and how is beyond me.

That's alright, it was originally missed but recently reported, just know in the future to link from official band and labels.

np. Promised Land.

Awesome! Great!

How come album containing this great song (and a few others) have sold over million copies? And this is prog rock. Differs so much of what's popular these days.

 ??? ???

If you are asking how an album like this sold over a million copies (your wording is rather confusing), I think it probably did well sales-wise because of Empire, which was hugely popular and had a handful of very successful mainstream rock hits.  Promised Land is all kinds of awesome, but while loved by the hardcore fanbase, it didn't connect with the casual fan nearly as well as the two previous albums.  I probably put myself in the middle of those two categories; I was never a major hardcore fan, but I was way more than a casual fan.

Yes, Empire was popular, but it is much easier album. But the sales of Promised Land (and DT charting #1 twice in Finland) keeps me having some trust for good music occasionally hitting the mainstream.
