Basically unchanged.  But then, I loved it the first time, so.

This.

Obfuscation

It has gone from a 8 to a 9 for me. I'm especially enjoying the drums more as well if that is even possible.

ubit

It has increased for me from an 8 to a 9.  If the entire album's quality is similar to OTBOA, I will LOVE this album.

Is that Moore or Sherinian on the right? I've never seen pictures of them before :P

It's Kevin Moore, taken in Copenhagen 1993.

CrimsonSunrise

I'm saying unchanged.  I've givin it a rest until I can hear it in the proper format.

Nice pic. I dont know why, but by the quality of the pic it looks like it was taken in recent years.

Lowdz

Took a few listens for the melody to sink in but I really like it. At first the vocals seemed a bit bland. The instrumentation got me straight away though and it works well live.

The real crime here in this picture is MP's fanny pack

I like it but only listened three times. Might wait til the album comes out now. Unless they release it for download. But I can wait now that i've heard it til September :)

Dublagent66

I've only heard it twice and that was on YT.  I still won't know how I feel about it until I hear the entire album.

Fix'd.
Still can't believe this is only available on YouTube.

Unchanged, I only listened to it once.

At first I was blown away by the song, probably because I was expecting something like BCSL and what I heard was a more classic DT. I Still love the song, but I do think that I overrated it. Now I give a solid 8.0, but just cause I know there will be other songs worth rating 9 or 10.
BTW totally fell in love with the chorus, especially the last one where the drum rhythm changes. Epic win for DT.

TheOutlawXanadu

I have not listened to the song since a few days after its release.

I still think it's good, and may even be a great opener, but it's not a killer. I think it will go down, kind of like "New Millennium", as one of those sneaky good songs I don't listen to much but every time I play the album it's on, I'm reminded of how good it is.

John94

I loved it. Now I really like it.

Just really looking forward to the other material now.

Likewise, but in fairness, that's mainly because I'm not usually by my speakers, so I'm not listening to music all that often right now, but on top of that the song's not in my media library, 'cause I can't download an MP3 and the YouTube stream is too low-quality for me to want to AudioHijack it. I've added it to a Grooveshark playlist, and if I had an mp3 of it I'd listen to it whenever possible, but they've made it so inaccessible through YouTube exclusivity that it's not been convenient to listen to since the romantic period when I'd make it convenient.

JPX

Probably gone from a 4/10 to a 5/10. I would attribute that to really liking JP's pre chorus leads and gaining a general familiarity with the song.
