I also loved Ross’ vocals frim the first time I heard them. Like with Ninjabait, it was a major selling point for me.

I also liked Ross's vocals since the beginning, although I understand that he has a very unique voice that not everyone will like. I actually thought his vocals were a bit weaker and cleaner sounding on Affinity than say on Visions or the Mountain though, not sure if it's because of production or the vocal lines themselves or he just decided to stay away from straining his voice too much. I haven't heard him do a really aggressive vocal part like on Drowning in the Flood since that album pretty much. Avoiding strain is a good idea though, especially live.

Works fine for me. Great review, btw :tup
It sounds like, "ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk." Instead of the more pleasing kick drum sound of, "gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk."

Thanks gzarruk :)

The link works perfectly for me too! Might this have anything to do with in which country you are? (I have no idea about such things  :huh: )

I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

Have you ever seen Marc and I in the same room at the same time?




Also..

I am so stoked for this release.

Looks cool, although I noticed that the lighting was annoying at certain points. When the vocals first start, for like 1-2 seconds, the lighting is almost blinding/distracting to where you can't really see much.  I noticed it at certain others spots as well.

Oh well, that will be one of the least best songs on the DVD, so I likely won't watch that song a lot. :P

The Endless Knot (Live)

Love the sound of this.  Just pre-ordered the cd/dvd.  The video isn't the greatest, but I already knew that was going to be the case so knowing so makes it not as much of an issue.  Liked how the camera guy was practically in the pit for the dance part.

Amazon confirmed I should get my pre-order on release day  :metal  Actually forgot that was this week, but really looking forward to the DVD and the bonus DVD more importantly for that progpower footage.

Glad to see the unboxer's finger has healed since he/she wore a big band-aid last week in the Fates Warning unboxing video!

(Sorry, I notice things like that, lol.) :P

Just got done editing an interview with Ray. Pushing hard to get everything finished up to have it out tomorrow. Some great nuggets, including when we can expect album #5.

Nice, would love to see them hit the ground running with a new album and world tour.  Continue to build on their success from Affinity and its touring.
