the up tempo intro accompanied by the bass beats doesn't really go well and fit with the song, especially when theres an immediate transition to a more mellow section with soft vocals.
anyone else feel the same way?
well i better get ready a fire extinguisher, i know im gonna get flamed :mehlin

Pretty much this. It's such a cool intro! :metal
Nothing wrong with it at all.
Its a great intro, I don't see a flaw in it.
To elaborate on the above:
I don't understand how the intro doesn't fit with the rest of the song. Not only do the riffs in the intro show up later (0:50 is obviously the chorus, and 0:33 is 4:20, with a derived riff at 9:50), the intro is really sweet and pretty atypical for DT.
lolwut
I like it. It sounded weird the first few times I heard it because of the rhythm, but now I think it fits well. It almost feels like construction or deconstruction, fitting the lyrics.
Ok, now I'm just making up stuff to fit the song, but the point is that I like it.
The intro of Breaking All Illusions is one of my favorite moments on the entire album.
Oh djentlemen, you so crazy! :D

Nigga what?
*throws tomato at djentlemen* boooooo :p
*looks at poll*
I'm sorry, but it seems that you are all alone in your opinion.
Easily one of my favourite moments of the album. I love the Mega Man'ish flair of it.
One of my favorite moments as well. It just sounds awesome and unique to me. Voted and lol'd when there was only one "no", and that was probably the OP. :rollin
I love the intro, and the song itself is stellar.
One of the best, well executed fucking intros I've ever heard :biggrin:
Wonderful intro. :heart
Better than Learning to Live's intro, IMO. I love me some Learning to Live, but that intro is pretty weak.

Possibly my favourite part of the whole glorious shebang.
We must really have nothing better to do......
I think the poll result tells everything.
This must be the most one-sided poll in DTF history :clap:

Yes sir. I wounldt say is my fav moment on the album, I would say is one of my favorites in the entire DT history. :hefdaddy
These poll results are hilariously amazing
Is there any way to change a vote? I want to change to 'no' so that the OP doesn't feel lonely :coolio

Wow. :heart

The change of pace is what makes the song so freaking awesome! Would you complain about the beginning of stairway to heaven being different from the song? Or Bohemian Rhapsody? Or Hallowed By Thy Name? Or One? Come on, BIA is freaking awesome start to finish!

Tbh, I'd be curious to hear from someone who voted "no". The way the question was worded, it's not like "is this your favourite intro?" but do you like it. I have a hard time imagining why someone who presumably likes DT enough to be on this forum would not like that intro lol

I voted no, something about the intro just doesn't click with me. It reminds me of Dragonforce (who I can't stand) or something along those lines. Not trying to be the cool guy, I just don't think it's a great intro is all...
I respect your right to an opinion and all, but I've heard Dragonforce's song, and BAI sounds nothing like it.

Not me. I was tempted, but even though I don't like the song as a whole very much, the intro is pretty amazing.

Interesting. I can definitely understand how a connection to Dragonforce could turn you off the song. :lol Is there a particular DF song this reminds you of? Or just their sound in general? This doesn't sound too much like DF to me, but I'm not too familiar with their stuff beyond a few hits.

If you've heard the hits, you've heard them all. They really only have one song.
And for the record, it's a song I happen to find raucously entertaining when I'm in just the right mood.

Don't know if I can quite agree with this.
I've always felt that people overstate the sameness of Dragonforce songs. I mean, granted, most of their guitar solos are pretty much identical, and the choruses are similar enough that most of them are ridiculously predictable, but there is
some variety in the Dragonforce discography.
I'd say they have at least two or three songs. =D
That being said, nothing they've ever done reminds me even vaguely of the BAI intro.

False. They have two songs: this one (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xS62zFXDLzw), and the rest of their songs.

Whoa that keyboard at 0:13 sounded really JR-like.
