Aramatheis · April 02, 2011, 01:26:09 PM

I just listened to TOWHTSTS for the first time in a little while, and I was blown away. I totally forgot just how much this song fucking rocks

So uh, yeah. Post your opinions/appreciation, pl0x.

The intro is really cool but after that it's just ok.

Nekov · April 02, 2011, 07:00:01 PM

Great song. I wish they played it on tour.

Ben_Jamin · April 02, 2011, 07:35:10 PM

Same here, it would be a nice surprise. Even if they rearranged it.

I love this song. The chorus is so awesome. JP really likes to write about car accidents, huh? LOL

It's a pretty happening tune, one of the best from WDADU.

The most underrated DT song ever (IMO). I'm sad that it's always among the first ones to be eliminated in the WDADU survivor. The intro is very atmospheric, and the song itself is great! Definitely among the best WDADU songs.

Right, that one. Here I am trying to remember any other songs that were in the same time frame or at least more than one other song. Silly me

yorost · April 03, 2011, 09:55:22 AM

Probably a top ten song from Dream Theater, to me, and definitely my favourite off of When Dream and Day Unite. I know I love this song far more than most, but hey, whatever clicks.

Great song. I wish they played it on tour.

I saw it live in Milwaukee on the Train of Thought tour.

My only concert of theirs and they just about played my favourite parts off each album(incl. Metropolis, A Mind Beside Itself complete, New Millennium, Finally Free, In the Name of God). Whenever I think about it I can hardly believe how lucky I was with the track listing they chose.

RaiseTheKnife · April 11, 2011, 06:37:53 AM

This song would have been much better if they did it in A flat, that way they could say if there were ever a song in A flat, its THIS song.

Jk

Pragmaticcircus · January 26, 2018, 12:23:23 AM

The opening alone is Dream Theater's most underappreciated moments, pure sublimity!

A very late reply, but... Check out every rock band that tunes 1/2 step down

Welcome To The Jungle, Ain't Talkin' Bout Love... etc

The intro is incredible. I wish they would've reprised some of it during the main part of the song, but nevertheless. I was also lucky enough to catch this on the ToT tour in Philly and even knew then how rare the song was in a live set.

gzarruk · January 26, 2018, 06:33:28 AM

Agree on the intro, it's one of the best moments on WDADU.

Aside from The Killing Hand, I absolutely agree. But then TOWHTSTS's intro is even better then that

jammindude · January 26, 2018, 08:21:39 PM

Absolutely my favorite song from WDADU. And I feel the same way about it going early in the survivors...just breaks my heart. The entire song is breathtaking!

TKH is my favorite song on the album, so yeah

Good song, bad name for a song

Sounds like a book title, it's a great name but it's word-salad for a songname
