What's your current favourite part of On the Back of Angels?
I have to say that mine is the part around the 3:00 mark and the part after the guitar solo. :metal
-
As of third listen, I have to go with the outro. But also several other parts.
-
Piano solo, by miles! And I imagine I'll be the first of many to say that.
-
Can't remember the timestamp but the end of the intro with the operatic keyboard.
Oh and the JM breakdown a la Another Won
-
as of right now, the JR section with the Mangini splashfest
-
The moment that choir launches in its intro. My jaw literally dropped and my eyes widened and I laughed like Mangini does.
-
Among other things, JR's Japanese-style run. Let me give the song another listen.
(I just needed that excuse. :biggrin:)
-
Jordan just stole this song IMO. Such good keyboard parts.

I know! The best he's done since 6DoIT, IMO...

Agreed, Jordan absolutely SHINES in this song. Not to say the rest of the guys didn't do good either though, the whole band seemed to be working well together.
-
Some of the instrumental parts in the mid of the song sound very much like SFAM. Just noticed as I was writing this, that the very end few notes sound VERY similiar to Sacrificed Sons ending notes.
-
The intro. Or the first minutes or so.
Love the way it's a clean guitar with the MorphWiz, then goes into the lead sound with Mangini entering, then the voices/choir. Reminds of The Great Debate for some reason.
-
I'm trying to figure out how you guys know that it's MorphWiz... not in a skeptical way, but in a, "How do they know?" sort of thing.
-
The intro, small JM solo, and the piano
-
I love the chorus.
-
I don't have a favorite part, I love the whole song.
-
The piano, definitely, followed by the intro + outro.

Intro and outro. Both are freaking flawless.

It sounds a lot like one of the presets in MorphWiz. So I am assuming it is MorphWiz.
-
The prechorus which sounds like WDADU, especially when it reprises after JP's solo. Wow.
-
The acoustic intro, most definitely. Or JR's piano bit. Or the outro. There are too many great parts in this song! :biggrin:
-
The acoustic guitar intro, which has some Morphwiz or some iPad app mixed in too. Niiice!
I can't recall any other parts yet, though Ive listened 3 times. I dont want to get sick of the song the day it came out, yknow
-
ALL OF IT
But if i had to choose one, i would say the intro.
-
Note the chimes at the Key solo intro.... :tup
-
So...all you guru's... is that Morph wiz between 30-50 seconds into the song?
-
Hard for me to pick a favorite right now. Only listened while at work, will need more time to digest before picking.
-
That little section right after the guitar solo
-

Yes. Thats MorphWiz! I can tell by the sounds and the slides that it's one of the presets. Not sure which one though.
-
The verse sections, the parts like "standing on the backs.. of angels!" I wish it was repeated more in the song, it's so damn catchy.
-
now im gonna say the LTE jam section between the JP solo and chorus
-
Loving the intro and the part at 6:40. Just a gorgeous piece. Also the "LTE" jam is a nice touch.
-
The chorus for now. I only listened to it once, though. I didn't think I'd mind the youtube quality (or lack thereof), but I really do. Gonna be an awesome song.
The first time I saw DT in a Columbia House catalog in the early 90s, they were described as Rush meets Metallica. Judging from that track, they are back to that description with me. Very cool song.
-
JMX's solo. It slays.
-
So far the little JR section at like 5:50, but there are too many awesome parts to choose from.
-
As of third listen, I have to go with the outro. But also several other parts.
This. The outro is absolutely beastly.

Thirded. And also, this song will make an awesome opener for said future concert. By the time the outro hist and ends, the crowd will be fired up for anything(like almost every other DT show :P )
-
I LOVE the section with awesome keys after the 1st verse
-
After two listings, definitly outro, it is great and it has a lot I&W vibe. All piano from Jordan, it's just perfect.
-
The entire instrumental section in the intro is fucking EPIC. :biggrin:
-
Oh and the JM breakdown a la Another Won
-
At 1:28 when the choir ah comes in its just so big without sounding muddy like BCSL (which i like btw). Just a brilliant track though all around.
-
About 4:36 when they go into the Kansas meets FII riff. Also, when the big keys come in during the intro.
-
Now, the intro. It just reminds me of Tristram music in Diablo and I have loved that for ages.
-
Intro, Pre-chorus, Myung bit and the keys breakdown after the 2nd chorus :D Great song! :) So pumped for this album! :metal
-
My favourite bit is the fact that it sounds like the spirit & soul of DT has returned with a vengeance !!!!
They're not trying to sound like anyone else or incorporate parts that may make them more relevant in todays market ...they are just being DT, and it doesn't get any better than that.
-
I'm really digging the instrumental section that starts at the 5:52 mark. I just wish it didn't end so abruptly with the chorus, I wanted that little part at the end to be expanded on a bit.
-
The part at 3:00 with the perfect keyboards, rampaging into the little Myung fill.
Also, the outro is ruthless.
-
Well. I like the intro, the verses, the choruses, the instrumental sections, the solos, and the outro. But if I was to narrow it down, I'd say maybe the clean intro, and the keyboards part. Rudess' style fits perfectly into this section. I think sometimes it becomes a bit too technical and that the focus is more at hitting as much notes as possible, but here it is just the way it should be. Perfect.
Also, the bass breakdown is awesome. I have a feeling JM is gonna shine a lot on this album.
