I just thought it was funny to see someone say they do not like the chorus to Lifting Shadows.

Wasn't me. I don't like any of it.

[Dublagent66]

Uh well, that includes the chorus.  So it was you.

Well, no one asked you anyway.

Scottjf8 should be in the concussion protocol.

[Prog Snob]

I'd be more than happy to help that along.

It was Devin Townsend that mentioned the chorus.

I'd be more than happy to help that along.

Does this entail physical harm to someone for not liking LSOAD? I don't like the chorus either, so does that mean I will receive a concussion too? Or that I recently had a concussion?

[King Postwhore]

I am ready to DDT you my friend.

[Prog Snob]

Just be glad King got to you before I did.

Absolutely can't stand almost all of the vocal melodies in Lifting Shadows off a Dream, I'll agree with those who were saying it's one of their least favourite DT songs. And no, its lack of heaviness is not a legitimate reason. DT have done plenty of great soft songs, this just isn't one of them.

[King Postwhore]

Sure it is.  Some fans like the heavier side, others like the melodic side and others like a mix of both to varying degrees.

[Train of Naught]

Oops, youre completely right . Guess I meant to say its not the reason I personally dislike it. Me and formulating logical sentences dont always go along well

[King Postwhore]

I love the blend.  To me, that's what makes DT great.

[Cable]

The heavy part, and contrasts work well IMO. Just not the chorus. Everything else about the song is mostly good to very good.

[TAC]

Lifting Shadows Off A Dream is awesome. All of it.

[Tomislav95]

It seems it's controversial if I say LSOAD is in my top 10 DT songs (probably, it's been a while since I last made top 10)

Yup

Agreed, I totally love songs like Along for the ride, through her eyes etc...

DT invented dubstep with the 'wob wob' from home


In The Astonishing, the line is actually 'This battle won't be over till it's one', meaning you're supposed to start the album at around 11:30, and the point at which Faythe is killed and the fighting stops will be at 1:00

[JayOctavarium]

Lifting Shadows is the one song on Awake which I skip.


It used to be Scarred. I used to hate Scarred with a flaming passion.

Now I love it.

Fight me.

I'm the same way. I really don't dislike the song, but it's the lowest point on one of my favorite albums of all time.

I'll just bitch slap you.  Out of love of course.

Haven't posted in this thread in ages, so here is some of my thoughts..

JP's guitar tone in the last two albums, has been pretty horrible. I really hope he tries something different next time.

The "Self Titled", while still my least favorite DT album, has recently received something of a re-evaluation from me. It does have it's moments.

Also, DT needs to hire great producer(s) ASAP!

JP's guitar tone in the last two albums, has been pretty horrible. I really hope he tries something different next time.

I mean, JP has got a brand new guitar that's considered to be among the best guitars ever made, he has his own new signature Boogie amp that also sounds incredibly good in any demos I've heard and still his tone on the latest abum is terrible. I have no idea what is going on with him lately, his tone on ADTOE was pretty nice, then all of sudden it turned into a weak over-chorused mess.

[Evai]

I think artists get bored of good tone over the years, and end up moving towards an 'easier' tone. See - EVH

[Architeuthis]

I thought JP's tone is great on TA!
