The hell is the tickle section?

The part that starts at 2:00.

Oh the video game section. Why is it called a tickle section?

Because it's so ridiculous, that when you listen to it, it makes you laugh, then it just doesn't stop...
It's like being tickled for 30 seconds straight.

Because DT called it that.

And, alternatively... This.

[Adami]

They did? lol I'm so out of the loop.

Then you are probably just subjected to just asking about things you want to know when the moment arises, because I think there are a lot of interviews and much information/ random facts that have surfaced from present time to a couple months ago to just go through conveniently, or leisurely.

[InstrumentalFiasco]

Does the beginning of this song remind anyone else of "Under a glass moon"?

[Ultimetalhead]

Does the beginning of this song remind anyone else of "Under a glass moon"?

No. The chorus does though. It's got a similar pulse.

I don't think that's it.  I believe it's right around 1:35, where the guitar against keyboard gives a freaky diminished feel.  The part at 2:00 isn't ticklish, it's just standard DT instrumental madness.

[jdprsaga]

When did DT called it that way?

btw, can someone make the tickle/unison or whatever loop for 2 - 3 minutes song? it's so freaking amazing!

[hefdaddy42]

I could be wrong.

[lyfeternl]

This song is one of my favorites on the album and DT's catelog altogether but I thought this was worth mentioning:

My GF and I were driving to get dinner and (as ADTOE is constantly playing in my car) LNF started to play. My GF casually says, after 2 minutes in, "This is becoming one of my favorite songs on the CD."

Now, time to pick out an engagement ring... 

[namgalsipsclar]

I'm reading George R. R. Martin's Song of Fire and Ice series right now, and every time I head the lyrics about "rising from the sand" and "dying for my brothers" or whatever it says (don't have the booklet in front of me) I'm always reminded of the whole Daenerys plot.

and Petrucci's solo.

[LTE3]

Easily my favorite song from the new album. An instant classic,

I agree this song kicks major ass, it is the one i keep going back to. I would like everyone to do as I have and that is Tweet, Facebook do what ever to get the guys to notice that this song has to be played live. It screams classic and would be amazing to see. As I have told the guys they have time to practice the song during sound checks well before the break it out at the NJ show. Here's hoping.

[Tis BOOLsheet]

been waiting for a song like this from DT for a long ass time. my reaction to "Lost Not Forgotten" the first time listening to it:

[chrisgazpacho]

This is probably my favorite on the disc.  The chorus really sounds like SFAM era DT.   The ending chorus is probably my favorite part when they drop the turnarounds and play the chorus straight.  The middle section kind of reminds me of Blind Faith.  Love it.   Really hope they add this on a 2nd leg.

[Rob801]

I really like this song too. It's definitely one of my favs on the album (I'm having a hard time ranking them). I hope they are saving LNF and TITL for the European leg (not that I don't want them to play them in the US as much as I don't want them to not play them at all).

They are two of my favorite songs on the album... but just by a fraction of a margin... with the exception of FFH which I put a little below than all the others.

[tgstk2]

one of my fav's of the album. and the best JP solo since UAGM. the solo is like 1.5 minute long and again all styltes are in there, shred, virtosuo, blues, jazz, melody...
drums are awesome the intro with the crazy instrumental section....hell it the great chunky riff...man it even might be the best song on the album. .anyway every time i pop in the cd this is the first one i listen to.

[Millais]

for me it's definitely up there with BAI... possibly even better than it on some occasions 

[Mladen]

The drumming during the tickle section needs more appreciation! 

This.

And yeah, a really good song. A couple of bits I don't like that much, but overall it's very enjoyable. 

[Vlasto]

sonically beats the most of the songs on album, that's a bit curious why the production of album is so unbalanced.
musically it's a powerhouse...

[PetFish]

I really like the outro groove from 9:46 (also the intro riff at 1:12, where JP is playing octaves and JR is big and choral in the background) but it feels like it should go on longer, like another minute or two, like the Scarred outro.  It just really screams at me to be extended and maybe they'll do it live with some JP improv over it.

Said tickle section starts at 2:00.
I am 100% positive! 

[SystematicThought]

I love this song and I love the tickle section. An album highlight for me

Oh the video game section. Why is it called a tickle section?

Because DT called it that.

Yeah. JP says:

I wrote it out and built it piece by piece, programming drums as I went. I showed it to Jordan (Rudess, keyboards), who said, 'That's crazy!' He learned it and put a harmony to it.

We played it for some of the people from Roadrunner who came by as we were recording, and they went crazy. One of them remarked that the diminished section was like being tickled – that feeling you get where you're saying, 'Stop, stop!' but somebody keeps tickling you anyway. So we started referring to that part as 'The Tickle Section.'

[composure77]

probably my 2nd favorite on this album, the last chorus is rediculous and the instrumental section is probably my favorite on this album, would  love to see it live!

[darkshade]

First time I listened to the album, when this song kicked in, I had a big ass grin on my face, and yelled "FUUUUUCKK!!!!!!" during the entire intro. I knew this album would kick ass, and LNF confirms that when you listen to the whole album.

Hahaha, I literally did the same exact thing.
As soon as I got the CD home, I burned it, put it on my iPod, sat in my bed with the sheets over my head, slapped those headphones on my ears... And pressed play...

On The Backs of Angels... Yeah, yeah, awesome song, already heard it, but I will give the rest of the album suspense by listening to this track the whole way through.

Build Me Up, Break Me Down... Fuck!

Lost Not Forgotten... Fuuuuuuuuuck!!

This Is The Life...  FUCK!!!

Bridges in the Sky... FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-

Outcry... Hmm, pretty cool

Outrcry instrumental section... FUUUUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuuuu-

Far From Heaven... :')  !!!!!

Breaking All Illusions... HOLY FU-

Beneath The Surface... DAT KEYBOARD SOLOOOOOoooooooo FUUUUUUUUUU-


True story.

On first listen I also

[Pols Voice]

*broken pic removed*

[Cranky]

That is my reaction to every song on every album..
How did you kn-

Oh, wait...

[Dream Team]

It's not my favorite from the album, but there are so many moments in the song where I get almost a giddy feeling. Certain sections make me think "dang this band is awesome" or "dang that part sounds so cool".
