It's the most "meh" epic by DT that i have heard.
Once in a Livetime doesn't sound better than the original for anything.The Budokan version however, is at least on par with the original. JLB sings really good on that particular song, and improvises some nice melodies, and the lead-in to the acoustic section gives me chills.
The Wasteland is a great ending but the instrumental section of the song is extremely boring and the first part has some cool vocal melodies, but that's it. Lines In The Sand is a much better song.
I imagined the story to go more like this.I was sitting a traffic light blaring Space Dye Vest and next to me in another car was Kevin Moore. And I'll never be open again.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.
Not one of my absolute favourites, but a solid Top 20.

But Kotow is right .
Reviving this thread! Thought it was better than making a new one.Just been going through recent footage of DT shows on the Youtubes and noticed that they have replaced the intro to Trial of Tears with a very cool new jam.https://youtu.be/ey3tIypNSfEVery unlike ANYTHING I have heard DT do before and many emotions were felt. (Reminded me more of an LTE jam) Just thought i'd share as I think it's much nicer than the usual Xanadu inspired intro
Dereks keyboard solo on this song is one of my fav DT solos.Amazing song overall
scorpion is my favorite deathcore lobster
Hey, the length is fine Thanks!

it's better than Stairway to Heaven!
Sycsa is perhaps the most brilliant and insightful man I have ever encountered.

MAN FUCK YOU KUJA.
The Darklord is amazing
DT at its best. This is one of my favorite one two punches of their catalogue as I think Anna lee is criminally underrated as well. Trial of tears is one of those dream theater songs that you wish would never end. The instrumental breakdown wanders aimlessly but the production and mix is so good that it doesn't even matter, I want it to go on forever. I wish they would go back to making epics like this that breath and don't need to rely on a huge power chord at the beginning to make it sound epic... Like moment of betrayal.Myung is very present in the mix here and it's a pleasure to listen to. Great song!

Great song!Ok my bad I forgot the quiet intro... once that ends they do the same boring "epic" sounding chord to make it sound big. That is something that seems to have come with their later albums and IMO its just lazy songwriting. Moment of Betreyal isn't an epic though... and it doesn't begin with a power chord. I do like Trial of Tears a lot though, probably one of their best songs (though I'd say that about like 25 DT songs).

Out of any DT song, I'd love to hear Devin Townsend sing this one. He could fit some screams in there and his classic operatic style
From a Mega Man Legends island jamming power metal to a Walrus listening to black metal, I like your story arc.
