Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence (Song) Appreciation

RoeDent · July 05, 2010, 01:48:41 PM

Now, I'm sure there is plenty of appreciation out there for this absolute masterpiece from DT. So here's a place to show your love.

ZKX-2099 · July 05, 2010, 02:05:59 PM

Yes. It's awesome.

It makes me feel like whiam alive again.

LTE · July 05, 2010, 02:08:37 PM

Tied with ACOS and 8VM for my favorite DT song.

Rafael Guerra · July 05, 2010, 02:10:16 PM

Absolutely epic! Love it.

Seventh Son · July 05, 2010, 02:47:38 PM

Good song, but far from DT's best epic. There are sections that are just meh which kill it for me. Solitary Shell is rather boring and kills the song at that point for me.

yeshaberto · July 05, 2010, 02:52:18 PM

my all-time favorite song...never get tired of rocking out to it or singing along with the melodies (as if I was a decent singer)

Gadough · July 05, 2010, 02:53:28 PM

The only negative thing I can say about it is that the Overture drags on too long. Other than that, a 9/10 song on my end.

ZBomber · July 05, 2010, 02:54:29 PM

These threads repeat themselves so much

It's ok. I'm not a big fan of Goodnight Kiss (besides the solo), but the other parts in the suite are good. Both parts of About To Crash are epic!

Not sure if collectively the whole song would make my top 20 though.

King Postwhore · July 05, 2010, 03:01:22 PM

One word. Epic.

The Letter M · July 05, 2010, 03:08:22 PM

If "A Change Of Seasons" is DT's "Supper's Ready", then "Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence" is their "2112"... and I'm not saying those things based on structure alone, but based on epicness. ACOS is great as it's a very tight, cohesive epic, but SDOIT is very great in that it introduces so many great themes in the "Overture", then expands on them in the rest of the song, with reprises and recurring themes... Definitely a top 5 DT song for me!

-Marc.

jcmistat · July 05, 2010, 03:41:51 PM

Its my favorite DT song. Really wish I could go back in time and see it live @ Score

TL · July 05, 2010, 04:30:22 PM

It's a great song, and I've always liked how it uses certain aspects of DT's sound that don't get explored very often.
Personally, I consider it more of a song-cycle than a single song. Still great though.

hefdaddy42 · July 06, 2010, 03:54:53 AM

I really like the song, but to me it isn't quite in the same league as ACOS or 8VM.

Dream Team · July 06, 2010, 06:19:51 AM

If the Overture was shorter and they omitted movements 3 & 4, it would rank much higher with me. As it is still probably top 20.

Dublagent66 · July 06, 2010, 09:30:59 AM

It's my 2nd favorite epic.

1. ACOS
2. SDOIT
3. 8VM

Jamesman42 · July 06, 2010, 09:37:25 AM

It's a wonderful song, and, despite it being one song with movements, the way it feels like a bunch of songs with a running theme makes me have hefdaddy's sentiments on it.

? · July 07, 2010, 12:16:18 AM

I didn't like 6DOIT at first but it has grown on me a lot. The only part I don't really like is Goodnight Kiss (apart from the solo).

Adami · July 07, 2010, 12:52:35 AM

Feels more like an 8 song suite than 1 song, which is fine. And as said, Overture drags on way too long. Aside from that it's great. Goodnight Kiss is probably my favorite.

AcidLameLTE · July 07, 2010, 01:52:11 AM

Great disc. I could listen to that solo in Goodnight Kiss all day. The only thing that drags it down in a couple of places is how fake some of the instruments sound.

AwakeFromOctavarium · July 07, 2010, 02:42:56 AM

About to Crash Reprise is the best part. That's all.

You heard me.

AcidLameLTE · July 07, 2010, 03:12:10 AM

Na. A bit of a gust came past after "Solitary Shell is rather" and I couldn't make out the rest of what you said.

zxlkho · July 07, 2010, 07:40:34 AM

Solitary Shell is by far the best movement of SDOIT

I consider Solitary Shell to be boring.

The first five movements are great, but Solitary Shell is meh to me. I just never liked it.

Yes. I just don't feel any energy from it at all.

That's good, I wish I had my window open so the wind could block out any text I wish I didn't read.

yeshaberto · July 07, 2010, 03:09:40 PM

I love every second of it...I love the slow melodious sections and the

sections as well

MirzekDT · July 08, 2010, 01:36:28 AM

I remember times when I was getting into DT and I used to listen to the whole song almost every day for maybe three months while I was traveling to school in tram. It was exactly somthing like 35 minutes and than 5 minutes for the Losing Time / Grand Finale while I was walking to the school from the tram stop. It was always amazing and fresh experience... Of course after that it needed a break and from then I listen to it just occasionally but every time I do I still love it

Jarlaxle · July 09, 2010, 01:25:46 PM

Solitary Shell->the end is the greatest section of music ever. Whenever the intro to Solitary Shell comes on it makes me happy no matter what.

6DOIT is maybe one of the best compilation of lyrics/melodies/instrumentation that has ever been conceived

The acoustic guitar in that song does nothing for me. And the fact that its so happy irritates me, considering that movement is about a kid with autism. I'd imagine it would sound a bit less happy.
