It's a decent song, but there are far better ones, even on the same album. Also, imo it has been a bit overplayed over the last couple of tours, so I wouldn't mind if it was given a rest.

2nd best song from 8V IMO. The bass intro and the pre-solo and solo part are great. And the lyrics works well, I think.

Not a fan.  It's not an outright bad song or anything, I just find it uninteresting and never feel like listening to it.

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

I think it's a good song.  No where near DT's best but it's good fun.  :)

Its great. I especially love the part where James sings: "I feel like I'm in danger...", and the music underneath that part.

Yep.  I enjoy it when it comes on, but I don't really ever feel motivated to listen to it.

I really like Panic attack. I like the heaviness, the fast pace, and the drive behind the song.

I don't understand why everyone says that Panic Attack is heavy.  To me, The Glass Prison is heavy.  A lot of SC is heavy.  Train of Thought is heavy.  I don't get it with Panic Attack....

I love Panic Attack. For a while after I bought 8V, it was the only song other than the title track that I'd listen too.

PA is actually the song that got me into Dream Theater. And it was through Rock Band.

But now,

I don't like it. The lyrics are bad ("suddenly I'm insane" always irritated me), the music is mostly stale, and those Matt Bellamy falsettos are embarrassing.

It's a middle song on the album and in the catalogue for me. Certainly don't dislike it.

A song with such a cool bass intro can't go wrong ;D

Is it a bass intro?  I always thought that was JP's baritone guitar.

I agree actually. It's definitely fast and full of energy, but yeah, not really heavy in the typical sense. Still a great song off of a great album though.

I'd assume because it's audible.

Ever had a panic attack? The lyrics are pretty fitting. Honestly, I'd say the music and the lyrics come together to really convey the feeling of a panic attack.

When too many people talk about a song too frequently, some people get sick of it.

Since Panic Attack is the most commonly played DT song among non-DT fans, some people perceive it as being talked about too frequently.

Ergo, some people get sick of it.

Because it seems to be the only DT song most people I know recognize from them. I've also gotten sick of hearing it while playing Rock Band over and over because people wanna show off how bad-ass their shedding is. I'm happy the popularity the track gave them, I'm just sick of hearing it. It seems most people don't explore the band beyond that song the last few years. It's the modern equivalency of Pull Me Under.
