DT Song of the Day ver. 2.0

Occasional_Madman · March 06, 2011, 10:08:28 AM

Love TGD, very underrated. The vox in the beginning are very Maynard-ish ("What if someonoe said...") which I feel adds to the eerieness. Defintelya top tier song from 6DOIT. TURN TO THE LIIIIIGHT!

In order to save this thread from dying, I suggest we discuss Sacrificed Sons.

For me, this song's instrumental is definitely up there with Metropolis pt ! and Octavarium (Full Circle).
I love how JP follows JMX's lead instead of the other way round, like usual.

One of my lesser favorites. A rather uninspired song with a predictable chord progression. I'm not into the lyrics neither. The instrumental section has some good ideas, but overall it does not move me in any way.

Jirpo · March 08, 2011, 03:14:28 AM

I quite like SS. Its not one of my faves, but is probably a top 3 from 8VM for me. I like how it builds up from quiet to heavy.

Zydar · March 08, 2011, 04:01:01 AM

One of my favourite songs, for sure. It was awesome to see it live too.

wjc · March 08, 2011, 04:27:07 AM

Just been learning this on bass

FretMuppet · March 08, 2011, 09:14:23 AM

The guitar solo over the orchestral section is the definition of epic.

Ben_Jamin · March 08, 2011, 09:55:48 AM

This is a good example of the lyrics fitting the music. The music describes a tragic event has went down, something that's seen as not a good thing.

I agree with your point of view on this, but I still enjoy the song. I mean, it's not their best, by any stretch, but it's decent.

SOoooooo yeah today is my bday!!!! Im sorry i have central time which means is march 9th And i will start right now with IN THE NAME OF GOD i almost cried when i heard it live and is my fav. DT song is just a piece of art, n i hear about 2 hours daily of this song.

JayOctavarium · March 08, 2011, 10:33:02 PM

A song that has truely grown on me.

and the lyrics... yea not starting a religious debate... but I love'em!

wjc · March 08, 2011, 11:26:18 PM

What I love about In the Name of God is all the little awesome things, like the counter-melody behind 'saint gone astray...', or the section around that electronic beat bit

Occasional_Madman · March 09, 2011, 12:24:51 AM

A mammoth DT song, top 10 material for sure. Honestly, it's the little intricacies and moments that make the song for me. The electric drum part, the JUS-TI-FY-ING VIOLENCE!!! background screaming, the eat my ass and balls morse code. It all builds up to a hugely emotional climax, and ends the album wonderfully. I approve.

Knguro · March 09, 2011, 04:16:37 AM

Yeah for me ITNoG can only be compared with the greatness of the band. Thats how i see it, i cant see another band writting a song like this.

Totally true!
Just another one of those DT songs that are completely amazing in every way
I know a lot of people like to argue about lyrics, but honestly? I don't even pay attention to what they mean.

Only what they make me feel.

Mladen · March 09, 2011, 06:14:54 AM

The instrumental section...

Zydar · March 09, 2011, 06:16:10 AM

The Budokan DVD was my first listen to this song, it really blew me away.

ThroughHerEyesDude6 · March 09, 2011, 03:11:26 PM

Easily the best off of the album, a great song live as well as in studio, and just the overall musicianship is fantastic.

juice · March 09, 2011, 04:10:53 PM

One of their best songs! I wish they would've played it at the show I went to for Prog Nation 09 but we got something cool too so its alright.

Metro · March 09, 2011, 04:39:10 PM

My favorite track off of ToT. They played it when I saw them on Progressive Nation 09, and it was simply epic.

JayOctavarium · March 10, 2011, 12:15:45 AM

Someone take the next one

wjc · March 10, 2011, 12:40:24 AM

The Dance of Eternity.

Crazy and awesome

Mladen · March 10, 2011, 12:48:12 AM

Just fuckin' incredible.

JayOctavarium · March 10, 2011, 12:57:49 AM

best song to make some sweet lovin to

Zydar · March 10, 2011, 01:12:56 AM

Pretty cool instrumental, although not one of my top favourites.

I have memories of this one when I saw them in 2009, the power went out a few times during it. MP kept it going with a drum solo while the crew fixed the power cut. It kept failing during the "Meshuggah riff" but they finally got through it.

ThroughHerEyesDude6 · March 10, 2011, 01:23:30 AM

One of my favorite parts of Act II. I also love the transition into "One Last Time".

Aramatheis · March 10, 2011, 08:24:43 AM

Fanfreakin'tastic song. Can't get enough of it!

Great song. Never fails to impress people.

Metro · March 10, 2011, 05:08:11 PM

Also played this when I saw them in 09. My friend was with me(he's a huge Rudess fan) and he went berzerk at the Ragtime solo.

I would have done the same, Rudess' little ragtime solo is wonderful

Isn't there one in The Dark Eternal Night as well?

Well, I'm gonna go ahead.

Home.

It's orgasmic.

rcseeley421 · March 11, 2011, 12:28:34 PM

Literally... haha just kidding but really, this song has and always be one of the top songs on that album and dare i say in their whole discography. The call back to the original Metropolis lyrics gave me chills the first time i heard it.

Amazing song. Easily one of SFAM's best. (And one of Rudess' best keyboard solos)

...gave me chills the first time i heard it.

"Her ecstasy - means so much to me
Even deceiving my own blood
Victoria watches and thoughtfully smiles
She`s taking me to my home"

Gives me chills every time I hear it
In my opinion, this is the best song off of SFAM (but Finally Free, Beyond This Life and Dance of Eternity come so close)
