I just looked at my LastFM and decided that I couldn't comment on the catchiness of the song.

Of course Dream Theater isn't that good. Good music is obviously about 3 minute pop songs and catchy hooks.
Dream Theater aren't that good. Neither was Beethoven, or Mozart, or Bach. Pfft, 20 minute epics. Who needs that?

You need to loosen up man.  Most of the fans here love the song.  You don't need to defend them so hard.  Just tell Ravenheart,  be quiet Indie boy!!  Right Ravenheart?! :lol

I definitely hear PMU and AROP, not so much Forsaken.

I was feeling Forsaken from the chorus and the crunchy powerchords like those at 4:25ish and in the outro.

Listening for the first time now, found this out by accident ( :tup for the news line that has jokes instead of this)
Is it only streaming or will it be available on itunes? and is this the final album cover?

I hear why people here are saying that JR is the highlight of this song and I guess the reason is that he restrained himself, and because of that he shone.

Intro: "Oh, dear God. I hear a continuum... we had that in Octavarium. Please no. Oh, we actually didn't. :tup

After the first verse: the patches are not over used and he fits really well. (Maybe due to this low quality mix) it seems there's a lot of silent notes which benefit the song.

The Chorus: his dramatic and a little bit of gothic chorus sound benefit the song.

Piano break: A very restrained and very tasteful segment. Not overdone but succinct.

Outro: great patch that bodes a well farewell.

This song wasn't intended to be a highlight for the keyboards and JP, as a producer, used the best of JR to benefit the song where it was needed. A wise choice of his talent. The mentality of On the Backs of Angels was give equilibrium to each instrument; not the idea of OMG EVERYBODY PLEASE SHINE IN A WANKY WAY AND YOU'LL ALSO BE HIGH ON THE MIX!

Eh, Heaven_Outcry_Angel, don't worry about it. I made a thread back in August asking which member would pull a Kevin Moore. People told me I was stupid and that no one would leave. 3 weeks later, Portnoy left the band  :lol

Sadly, my first though upon seeing the art; "nooo, this means a blue DTF theme in Sept.  :("

Neat  song, but I agree with those who say the intro is fantastic, but the body unmemorable. Here's hoping it'l grow on us, huh?

This sounds like the lovechild of Pull Me Under, Forsaken, and A Rite of Passage.

Interesting perspective...  Personally, I think all 3 of those songs are examples of DT Metal and Non-proggy.  In this song, I hear a lot of "Prog"  Guess we all hear things differently :)
