I'm not just saying this because it's so great, it's something about the way it's structured. The 5 minutes of intro goes by in about two seconds, then the "medicate me" part goes fast, then the "as far as I could tell" section also goes fast. Next thing you know the instrumental section is over, and the "Dave Mustaine" section is on, then it only has a few minutes left which goes by in a blink.
No other song past 10 minutes feels as short as this one. I always feel like I started the song 5 minutes ago, then I look and it's at 19 minutes. Power to DT for writing a song as well structured as this one. It is simply amazing.
Does anyone else feel like Octavarium is much shorter than 24 minutes?
