Gig in Poland today. They will be shooting a video for the new single from DT's new album. Hope tonight's show is as awesome as last nights!!

DreamerTV · « **Reply #1999 on:** July 28, 2011, 01:23:12 PM »

I guess it's not OTBOA, so BMUBMD?

Zydar · « **Reply #2000 on:** July 28, 2011, 01:23:53 PM »

I'm guessing it's a video of OTBOA shot in a live setting.

SystematicThought · « **Reply #2001 on:** July 28, 2011, 01:24:14 PM »

The video is gonna begin with that shot from the Wither video of MP waving goodbye.

Also, why would it not be OTBOA?

Zook · « **Reply #2002 on:** July 28, 2011, 01:30:42 PM »

The DT logo isn't centered on the single cover. BOOOOOOO

DreamerTV · « **Reply #2003 on:** July 28, 2011, 01:34:38 PM »

IMHO, 'cause OTBOA has already done its work: over 1million views on youtube.

But have 1 million people really seen the video or have there been multiple viewings by the same people? Still a lot though, if that were the case.

Aefenwelg · « **Reply #2005 on:** July 28, 2011, 01:42:49 PM »

I think it was actually 1 million views by one person.

among the worst comments you can see on a youtube video

'lulz i think the view counter is broken, its only counting my 1,000,000 views!!'

Spoiler Warning!

My first impressions of the album now up over at www.rich-wilson.com

Edergilmour · « **Reply #2009 on:** July 28, 2011, 03:11:22 PM »

Reading it right now!!!

John94 · « **Reply #2010 on:** July 28, 2011, 03:15:50 PM »

Sounds good Rich. Bridges' sounds interesting to say the least.

Is this whats gunna be in the new CR:Prog mag or is it more detailed?

Rich Wilson · « **Reply #2011 on:** July 28, 2011, 03:17:01 PM »

I'm not reviewing the album for any mag so I thought I'd pop one up there.

Psy · « **Reply #2012 on:** July 28, 2011, 03:19:17 PM »

Okay. Now I'm doubly excited for September 13th!

Would be nice to have a dedicated thread for reviews since it seems they're starting to flow. Mods OK with that?

Rich, great review! Really looking forward to this album! Seen as you gave us a line from This is the Life could we have a line from the new Myung lyrics please?

EDIT: Or at least how his lyrics hold up to his past ones

Just something I'm very curious about.

I'm also curious about LaBrie, I'm really hoping he sings some incredible melodies on this album

tri.ad · « **Reply #2016 on:** July 28, 2011, 03:37:18 PM »

Sounds great, Rich! There are some things I'm rather cautious about, but all in all, it seems like this album is going to be really good (without wanting to jinx it, mind you).

Me neither. Why not just copy and paste the review here?

WaterToFire · « **Reply #2018 on:** July 28, 2011, 08:49:18 PM »

I just tried to copy and paste it but for some reason the page does not respond... I can't highlight text. This is probably related to why you can't access it in the first place.

I stopped at "a fresh and frankly stunning album in ADTOE"

Ħ · « **Reply #2020 on:** July 28, 2011, 09:02:51 PM »

Here's a recap from both reviews:

-classic, fresh, stunning
-attention to detail, production
-more prog than metal
-spirit of IAW, SFAM
-no growls

BUILD ME UP, BREAK ME DOWN
-epic riffs
-heavy bass
-catchy chorus
-pop influence

LOST NOT FORGOTTEN
-epic riffs
-catchy chorus
-emphasis on keyboards (70's like)
-finale comprised of complex interplay between JP and JR

THIS IS THE LIFE
-possible references to MP's leaving
-"Some of us choose to live gracefully/ Some can get caught in the maze and lose their way home/ This is the life we belong to"
-tranquil
-mellow
-emphasis on keys and vocals
-guitar solo a la David Gilmour

BENEATH THE SURFACE
-tranquil
-mellow
-string section
-hopeful

OUTCRY
-musically dextrous (like ADOE)
-striking vocal melody

BRIDGES IN THE SKY
-engaging
-opens and closes with sound of a battle cry

FAR FROM HEAVEN
-lifting, heartfelt piano/vocal duet

BREAKING ALL ILLUSIONS
-showcases Myung's bass playing
-great dynamics
-great JP solo

=======

So from that review, I predict the album will be similar to this tracklist I just made up:

1. On the Backs of Angels
2. Constant Motion
3. Endless Sacrifice
4. Wither
5. Raw Dog x 2
6. Home
7. One Last Time
8. Trial of Tears
9. Disappear

Cheers for the review, Rich!

SystematicThought · « **Reply #2022 on:** July 28, 2011, 09:10:45 PM »

That battle cry really has me intrigued. It will probably go down as the cheesy moment of the album. However, I am extremely intrigued by it. It ends with it too according to that last track by track

The Brazilian one that was translated a few pages back

KevShmev · « **Reply #2025 on:** July 28, 2011, 09:16:27 PM »

Okay, I read the review over at 5/8 (it was copied and pasted there).

Good review, but I take umbrage with the comment about there being bitterness that is still evident on both sides. How has the DT side showed any bitterness? And DT has never featured growling vocals, so how you can replace something that was never there?
