DT15: A View From The Top Of The World (Timeline for DT15)

[Glasser]

Knowing me i'll ADORE both albums but they'll end up being the albums that everyone goes " oh yeah great band X album sucks tho LOL "..

  Kotowboy, I was only messing with you, I'm in a goofy ass mood. I have not heard new Mastodon or Trivium, just breaking balls.

[LKap13]

Aaand snippets are down

[Dellers]

Those snippets sound great. If they're in any way representative of what the album's gonna be like I'm very much looking forward to it. The Alien was cool enough and Invisible Monster is ok, but the snippets from the other five songs are making me a lot more positive. If it lives up to the expectations I have right now it should easily be my favorite album since ADTOE.

[TheBarstoolWarrior]

[LKap13]

Yea they sounded realll good

I'm looking forward to Mastodon too my friend.

[TAC]

Wow, the comments on the samples are so positive. I wasn't going to listen to them...but I did.

Someone mentioned JR's keyboard sounds. A lot of what I heard sounded interesting.

Felt that too!!  But the samples really ranked up the hype. Answering the Call is my highlight from the snippets.

Changed to green.  .

Anyone else feel like the sound on the samples is so unique and fresh? The Alien and Invisible Monster are amazing but definitely have that DT sound. The samples sound so different and new to me. Things like Sleeping Giant and Awaken The Master... they don't sound like the DT we know. But it's so cool and awesome sounding. I'm so freaking hyped.

Same. Answering The Call and dat riff in the title track...duuuude... 
(sorry, don't mean to overhype but...dat riff tho...)

[jayvee3]

Aaand snippets are down

? They're still working for me 🤷‍♂️

[jayvee3]

So far it sounds like Distance Over Time 2 which is fine with me.


At worst it might end up as 'oh yeah that album'.

Other than IM which would fit enough, I don't hear it at this stage as DoT part 2. Sounds familiar to DT but totally different from that album from the samples we've heard. Not long to go now though, so we'll see.

On another note, I'm quite looking forward to Mastodon myself...

[Dedalus]

I decided to rank the samples.

1. TT
2. ATM
3. ATC
4. SG
5. AVFTTOTW

Note 1: I just prepared two classes on Sunday/Monday. I thought I deserved to do something nonsensical. 
Note 2: Excludes TA and IM because I already know the songs, so it wouldn't make sense.
Note 3. This evidently means nothing.   

[TM172003]

I didn't want the Awaken the Master sample to end, really excited now.

[Dedalus]

Yeah... I really liked them all. 

[CirclesSquared]

Unfortunately, I also can't hear the snippets, no matter what browser I use. Has anyone been able to figure this out?

[Victor Alexandrov]

They appear to be taken down, all of the mp3 file URLs are now 404 (file not found).

[erwinrafael]

Snippets are indeed down now. I guess those were really not yet scheduled because there are no previews in my iTunes preorder.

Am I the only one who felt the Transcending Time snippet felt...dated? I guess I am the one fan who does not really like the 80s feel in some DT songs (which is why Images and Words did not fully click with me).

[RMGadelha]

They aren't down. Just checked. They might go down eventually though.

EDIT: Nevermind. Weirdly enough, Answering the Call is the only one working for me. Haha.

[Victor Alexandrov]

You probably have it cached. The actual file URLs are all down.

[wolfking]

They aren't working for me unfortunately.

[RMGadelha]

Ah, ok. I have to say though: they really, REALLY worked to hype me up. I am very excited for how Jordan is sounding in the clips, specially Transcending Time. And from the descriptions, I wasn't expecting to get such a melodic part in Awaken the Master. That little bit with JP's solo is the most beautiful thing I've heard from the new album yet, and that's only a few seconds from a long album.

And the piano melody is pure bliss.

[LKap13]

Piano sounded a lot like sdoit disc 2. Best stuff I've heard from the band in a while. Sounds incredible. After I heard the alien I figured this album would be great but now I'm sure of it

[CirclesSquared]

Well, darn. :/ Really bummed I missed out on those snippets since you're all raving about them. I suppose none of you had them saved to your computer just in case? 

[ReaPsTA]

Aaand snippets are down

DT fans mobbing the site taxed their servers too much

[LKap13]

Just take our word for it. We're in for a treat

[UndercoverMyung]

I'm so excited for this album. Seriously.

[lightbug]

EDIT:  *snip*

[LKap13]

Love JR's patch and the whole feel of Sleeping Giant

[jayvee3]

Could completely just be my ageing ears, but right at the end of the snippet, Awaken the Master sounds like it could almost be connected to the Alien...

[CirclesSquared]

Here's another link 
*snip*

You're the man!

All of the other, unreleased songs' samples sound better than both The Alien and Invisible Monster!
