Ok so, the moment you have been waiting for....my review/thoughts on this song.
I have gave it a couple of spins now, but didn't yet listen to it on headphones.
the first spin...it didn't do anything to me...i was like hmm.. ok again another TGP kind of riff/nu metal riff (despite the odd signature of it).
the vocals i found very lame, not the lyrics, but the vocals didn't seem to bring something extra, like there was no expression to ti at all.
the drums i found so so... the only thing which standed out for me was..JR. not using the patces he did on the last albums, but just normal,naturally sounding pathes, and the return of the piano (SFAM) feel. so than i gave it like 5/10 but any other DT would do better for me
now after 5/6 spins this monster has grown on me...i love it.
the only part which seems strange is going from the second instrumental section and than that very small break down back to the chrous...that some how seems cut/paste.... but the other stuff is amazing
JR- great sounds well played, not being a a notewanker for 8 minutes, but just suits the song, i love the tune of the prechorus that does sound oldskool DT to me.
drums are awsoe as s well, still dodint'hear all he did, but i love it when the end of JPS solo he just plays doulbe bass notes very freaking fast :-) great unison part.
JP wel great riff man, that's some odd time signature there, great tone ghreat solo...awesome
vocals..i think the weakst of the song, they are ok, but they still dont stand out to me... but they are not bad in any way at all!!
finally a bass sound and even a small BASS filll ..yeah!!!
i thikn the album will only get better and bete...and if the album contqains 9 liek these songs, than im'happy cause everytime i play the song i hear something new/different.....and it makes you come back..and that's what you need from a DT song/album....to go back and discover what they wrote....i really hope for a making of dvd on this one...cause only after this first song...damn... there are SO MANY tempo changes it's ridicilous(ly great!)....
laos i like it when in the end they play i think the pre chorous and than play it in normal 4/44 DT doesn't do that much ...but it's a little headbaning moment there....everything falls in place there.... you know which part i mean right?
if not listen to it ..AGAIN!
