That was pretty nice :). Together with "Breaking all Illusions" this is the best snippet so far. I have to say though, that I didn't much like the keyboard sound Rudess uses around 0:23. As one commenter said, it would probably sound better with piano. Either way I'll wait till hear the whole song to properly judge it!

Love the Keith Emerson "Lucky Man" lead.

I love the variety that's apparent between all these snippets so far. I'm definitely getting a SDoIT vibe from them all. :D

Interesting way to end the album, with a short 'epilogue'-like track. It sounds great!

Awesome. I love the ELP-ish lead, not something JR does a lot.

Yup, reminds me a bit of said solo, with a bit more melancholy in it.

JR's keyboard sounds on this album continue to be so impressive.

Can't say I'm a big fan of the lead sound. Even in the ELP track I always thought it was kinda overbearing, and here it is a bit too.

None of the links are working for me.  This sucks.  The youtube link says, Only those with link can see it.  Uh, I have the link, you freaking d-bags! :censored :censored :censored

 :omg: :heart  Honestly sounds like it could be a top ten DT song for me (of course I won't know for sure until the full version is released).

Yeah, to me, the sound itself is okay, but they mixed it too wide, stereo-wise, it doesn't mesh too well. Solo's nice though.

Hint: The dramatic turn of events is that the picture itself is more pixelated than the DT font and title.

No, the dramatic turn of events is that you used the wonky wrong DT font.   :police:

Very nice snippet, although I played it only once. Unlike Breaking all illusions, which I had to play ten times in a row.  :)

I think JRs tone clashed with the rest of the song in honesty. But otherwise it was again very stong stuff. I am really looking forward to this album now.

Dat lead.

Sounds like something but I can't quite put my finger on it. I was thinking Another Hand intro for some reason.

Okay, it finally played. :lol

Sounded pretty cool.  I liked the synth lead, but hopefully it never gets too wanky or any more overpowering in the rest of the song.

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.

remember me lover & shesmovedon are actually in my top 5 PT  :heart

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

That explains the raging boner in my pants.

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

Couldnt have put it better. Sounds simply beautiful, and an incredibly smart and differrent way to close out the album. JR's sound seems to have a few divided, but I think it sounds amazing, and in the context of the complete song, im sure it will all blend very nicely..  :)

Really liked this! Get a feeling of Disappear which is very nice! Didn't feel Jordan's sound was of, instead I thought it was a cool interesting sound with the rest. I would like Jordan to do more of that!

At first I thought the synth was too loud in the mix as well, but subsequent listens and I like the mix as it is....I dunno, I seem to hear the other instruments better on more listens and it sounds awesome.

I LOVE this teaser.

Definately different and I really liked this. Never would have happened if the change-up never happened. I just have a feeling.

So excited for the album
