"The Glass Prison" Appreciation Thread

[Vajra]

Easily one of their best songs imo. And in terms of entirely-heavy songs, I'd say it's their very best. I could honestly write a thesis on why this song just kicks so much ass.

I'd say along with Master of Puppets, Dante's Inferno (Iced Earth), this is the perfect metal song.

[Jirpo]

Great song! 

[FlyingBIZKIT]

5:52 is the coolest part ever

[Bolsters]

One of my absolute favorites. Balls to the wall from start to finish. Especially love the intro and first verse, and then breaking back into the main riff.

[Vajra]

5:52 is the coolest part ever

I 100% agree. That's what partially got me into DT in the first place.

ps: RUUUNNN!!!

5:52 is the coolest part ever

Quoted for truth. I always imagine JP assuming a power stance and baring his teeth when he plays that part.

You know he does exactly that during the Gigantour show right?

Power stance + teeth baring = metal

Top 5 DT song

I'm going to go ahead and add a couple songs to your list...

Lateralus (Tool)
Aenima (Tool)
Hallowed Be Thy Name (Iron Maiden)
The Number of the Beast (Iron Maiden)

heeeellllll yeah

Great song.  I think it suffers from starting off SO strong though; the song drags just a bit later on IMO.

One of their best 7-string songs and openers, it's also my favorite from the 12-step suite!

[tri.ad]

Great band.

rumborak

I see what you did there.

Awesome song, their best really heavy song yet imo.

[Dimitrius]

Can we give a little love to the drum fill at 12:46? I've always loved that part, and the drumming during the verse that follows.

[juice]

One of their best songs.

*appreciates*

[m0hawk]

2:11 - 2:52 is emblematic of DT. For me, the song isn't top 10 material, but if I had to give someone a 40 second sample of DT, that would be it. 

[hefdaddy42]

Fantastic song, no doubt, but that is an overwhelming sentiment among the fan base, so I'm not sure that an appreciation thread was needed.   But whatever.

[Dellers]

Half the song is great, half is meh. Pretty inconsistent to me (some vocal melodies are just plain boring to me), and therefore one of my least favorite DT songs yet. It's a grower though. I still like to listen to it, cause it sounds great on my speakers. One of the toughest songs sound-wise, sounds great. Usually metal songs have a bit too much treble for sounding good loud, but this one works.

[tgstk2]

The inspriration came from a pantera show"... That is the guarantee for a kick ass song!!!
The only thing i would have liked is if they would just have played that crushing riff in a normal tempo

But overall one of dts best songs ever

[Mladen]

5:52 is the coolest part ever

And that transition before the last verses (''Way off in the distance I saw a door...'') has to be the definition of awesomeness.

[ddtonfire]

Arpeggios!!!!!!!!!!!


I think the ending feels slightly rushed though. But other than that, there's not a dull moment!

[Aquila Chrysaetos]

Under A Glass Moon >>> The Glass Prison

[nikatapi]

Great song, one of my favorites.
I really like Mike's drumming and James' performance. 

[ResultsMayVary]

So much fucking metal! 

[KevShmev]

Great song, yes.

I am still surprised that it didn't become a live mainstay over the years.  This should be one of their most played live songs.  Hopefully, that will change now that someone else will be writing the set lists.

[Obfuscation]

I can never get enough of this song. Headbanging to the extreme when I listen to it.

Yeah, I was bummed that I didn't get to hear it when I saw DT in 2007 and in 2009.

I always had the feeling MP didn't wanted to play it much until he had the whole AA Saga done. But it should've been a mainstay since it release.

[stryker]

Love this song!    It's the song that got me into DT to begin with and easily in my top 3 songs!! 

[Dublagent66]

Yeah Sam, awesome tune on my favorite DT album.
