Thanks for the birthday present, DT

This one sounds a little more 8VM-ish mixed with Floyd to me. Thoughts?

[jonny108]

Wow that sounds beautiful!

[novenpeter]

yeah!!!!

[OsMosis2259]

awesome!

[emindead]

"I would scream just to be heard" part sounds BEAUTIFUL!!!

[nikatapi]

Nice vocals by James, but i dont like JR's solo sound.

[Mebert78]

Definitely not the typically DT epic to end an album.  Seems like a nice tune tho!

[OsMosis2259]

Anyone want to write out the lyrics?

[Hayden]

This snippet was the hardest one, for me personally, to hear come to an end.

Anyone want to write out the lyrics?

This is actually James at his most comprehensible, but anyway:

"And you disappeared into the darkness,
and the darkness turned to pain, and never went away,
until all that remained was buried deep beneath the surface...

I would scream just to be heard,
as if yelling at the stars, I would..."

[Dynia]

I love it!

[alirocker08]

I didn't almost start crying before the moog came in.

[DarkLord_Lalinc]

This is amazing. No doubt this album's gonna be great.

[The Silent Cody]

Great, nice keyboard solo and the strings in the background... It makes me feel like I would have been on a ship or something. On some kind of quest. Cool stuff!

[Zook]

...Interesting... Might be the new Space-Dye Vest in terms of me not listening to it much.

[Millais]

damn that was quick! was just about to post this - really like the cover art on this one... Majesty logo on sharkfin = win

not sure what to think of this one yet. anyone else reminded of Blackfield's latest album?

....and isn't this teaser a day early?

[austin]

Lyrics!

And you disappeared into the darkness,
and the darkness turned to pain,
and never went away, until all that remained was buried
deep beneath the surface.

I would scream just to be heard,
as if yelling at the stars...

This album definitely sounds to me like the best one in 10 years from DT.

...Interesting... Might be the new Space-Dye Vest in terms of me not listening to it much.

I was just thinking, given what we've heard, that this album, form-wise, will be really similar to Awake.

This is amazing. No doubt this album's gonna be great.

This.

....and isn't this teaser a day early?

2 days, if we're going by the 'every friday' thing. I hope they stay this frequent though  

[Jaffa]

This snippet is just plain mean.  "I would scream just to be heard, as if yelling at the stars," CUT.  That part sounds really awesome, though, from the two lines we can hear of it.  And seems likea pretty nice tune overall.

[lonestar]

So much potential, I love it.  HURRY UP GODDAMMIT SEPTEMBER!!!!! I like how JR ressurected Kieth Emerson's old keyboard.

[LieLowTheWantedMan]

Decent.

[Infinite Cactus]

Seriously Dream Theater, cut it out. I told myself I would be calm and chill about this upcoming release. I said, "Derrick, just be patient." You know what? Fuck you Dream Theater, getting my hopes up and making my peepers dance. I hate you, I wanted to have a nice day with the lady where I didn't get all assy about the new Dream Theater which in turn would get her all assy about the new Dream Theater. Sigh, I guess I asked for too much, because now all I'm going to be able to talk about is how excited I am. Thank's a lot you guys. . . .

[DarkLord_Lalinc]

The chord progression on this is amazing.

[Millais]

Decent.

agreed, so far.

i think it's one of those tracks which has to be heard as part of the album, not alone. it was just starting to take off at the end as well.

[Harpejji]

It sounds very nice to me! The artwork is also very great!

[Perpetual Change]

Man, this is a record for the prog-side of DT fans if there ever was one! Loving it!

This video is unlisted. Only those with the link can see it.

WTF?

[LieLowTheWantedMan]

Decent.

Yeah that's pretty much what I was thinking. I kinda feel it might be like most PT closers; beautiful, but only works fully when closing the album.

WTF?

That's what I was thinking. Have we stumbled across something we're not supposed to?

Same result.  And the link from the FB update does not work.  Boooooo!

[atmyne]

I really liked Jordan's solo. This is unbelievable.

[CrimsonSunrise]

I can't get it to load... have hit the links from JP, JR, and DT FB pages

[austin]

DT posted a link to their Purevolume on their facebook, I followed that, found the video page there, it was embedded and from there I got the link to the video. Makes sense.

[Heretic]

Yeah my suspicions that this would be album of the year are pretty much confirmed now, geez.

[tri.ad]

This sounds very soothing, very calm, very amazing. Love it. JR's square wave solo is absolutely outstanding.
