Cool/creepy/interesting discoveries on dt-songs?

[weirdo]

Some weird/creepy/cool discoveries i've made while listening to DT songs lately:

1.Misunderstood (9:05 - 9:10): A sexy (rather creepy imo) ahh gasp sound (Labrie?). Its so clear, idk how have I missed that :/....

2.Finally Free: In the end when Nicholas(?) is pouring a drink, you can here the theme from the song playing in the background for a moment.

3.Octavarium: Along with Labrie screaming, someone is whispering "trapped inside this octavarium" (Yeah I know, this isnt much of a discovery and its pretty clear, dont kill me ... it just kinda creeped me out (in a good way))

I've heard all those songs dozens of times, I really don't know how could I miss those things. Maybe I should buy a better quality headphones, cuz atm all I have is cheap crappy headphones that came with my Nokia ://

Anyway, nothing so special, I suppose you all knew these before. ^^   Any other cool discoveries?

[FlyingBIZKIT]

Yeah, that TCOT is about some bear going to Tuscany or something.

[TheGreatPretender]

That noise at the beginning of Home... You can hear it clearly at the beginning of the "Single Edit" and at the Scenes From New York concert... That noise creeps the hell out of me.

Now it creeps me out to, thank you.

During the "trapped inside this octavarium" part you can hear the main theme being played on a synth lead.

Also, the background shrieks during the "justifying violence" verse in ITNOG.

Yeah JLB's background shrieks in that song are really creepy but cool.  I know this one has been said a bunch of times but I love the Glory Glory Hallelujah part of In the Name of God, I never noticed it until recently and now I cant unhear it.  It gives the finale such a weird eerie vibe.

[Lionheart1827]

I always thought the intro to Disappear was creepy. I would definitely not want to walk down a dark hall with that playing in the background. Yeesh.

[Zook]

If you use the Audacity vocal remover on Another Day, and then wait for the part right after "Surrender to the secret / Waaaaa-ohhh!", the solo starts. Listen to that solo with the vocal remover having been on, and you can hear LaBrie shrieking underneath Petrucci's wailing. Completely unhearable without doing this.

I can't hear it... Are there any specific parameters I should be setting?

[ReaPsTA]

This isn't usually mentioned, but Regression is one of the very few DT songs (I don't even know if there are any others) where the title doesn't appear anywhere in the lyrics.

[Ben_Jamin]

The Ministry of Lost Souls

[JayOctavarium]

Pull Me Under

[MasterShakezula]

How about You Not Me?

[Ħ]

This isn't usually mentioned, but Regression is one of the very few DT songs (I don't even know if there are any others) where the title doesn't appear anywhere in the lyrics.

Let's see...

-Under a Glass Moon
-Lie (unless you count the unheard lyrics)
-Regression
-The Great Debate
-Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence (or, by movements, just About To Crash)
-Honor Thy Father
-Panic Attack
-In The Presence of Enemies
-The Ministry of Lost Souls

And then there's some iffy ones:
-Metropolis Pt. 1 (depending on how you read the title)
-Scarred ("scars")
-A Change of Seasons ("seasons changed")
-Prophets of War ("profiting from war")

And I don't know about the Majesty demos or b-sides.

[TheGreatPretender]

-Under a Glass Moon

Shouldn't this one be iffy too? "Under Glass Moonlight".

[DarkLord_Lalinc]

The Great Debate - A lot of fucking things.

Top 10 song for me. 

[Gadough]

For the longest time in Octavarium I thought Labrie was singing "find a comfort circle." I literally just found out it's "come full circle." Which is embarrassing, because I knew the movement is titled Full Circle, but I never made the connection.

[The Presence of Frenemies]

If you use the Audacity vocal remover on Another Day, and then wait for the part right after "Surrender to the secret / Waaaaa-ohhh!", the solo starts. Listen to that solo with the vocal remover having been on, and you can hear LaBrie shrieking underneath Petrucci's wailing. Completely unhearable without doing this.

I can hear it. It's faint as hell though. Sounds a lot like the original LtL demo solo with the doubled vocals.

We talked about this before, and I'm pretty sure it was just the guitar.

Yeah I was in bed listening to ITNOG on headphones when I discovered that Glory Glory Hallelujah part - I was like "holy pancreas!".

Oh snap.

[tri.ad]

-Lie (unless you count the unheard lyrics)

Well, you can hear them. They're on the left channel and very faint, but they are audible from the second chorus on: "I swear I tried!...lie...lie...lie...lie...lie".

Umm... Yes it says that nicholas comes home and makes a drink - as i said... By the theme noise I didnt mean the tune played in the end until nicholas gets killed (its kinda obvious ). But if you listen very closely you can hear the theme (which was played when nicholas drove home) for about 1.5 seconds exactly when nicholas pours the drink

[Mbarak]

Those voices at the intro of Sacrificed Sons always creep me out

[jmplayer]

New harmony with vocal reducer:

Pull me Under (chorus)
Another Day (chorus)

MP!!! (with vocal reducer):

Strange Deja Vu
Home
Forsaken

Falsetto Labrie (with vocal reducer)

Finally Free

[Amoniz]

The killing hand -> After the line "I laugh at what I've done" JP makes a laughing sound with his guitar

The ones who help to set the sun + A nightmare to remember -> According to JP on the WDADRU dvd (if you rememeber it right), TOWHTSTS is about a guy who's driving in the middle of the night and somehow slips into a flashforward of his own death in a car crash then comes back to reality, having a sort of a revelation... A nightmare to remember's subject matter is somehow similar to that - both songs begin with thunder soudn effects.

Voices -> around 4:52 you can hear the main erotomania chromatic riff reprised with keyboards.

Erotomania -> one of the cool things i like about DT is that they take different musical sections and shapeshift them therought different time signatures; after JP's final solo in Erotomania, there's heavy section which goes in bars of 4/4 and finally a bar of 3/4 , before reprising the main riff of the song - through the heavy section, the main riff is being played by Kevin's synth sound, only that it's being played in 19/16 (10/16+9/16) loops! And each time thge 4/4 bar starts, we hear the synth melody start off on a different melody. In other words, 4*(4/4) + 1*(3/4) = 64/16+12/16=76/16 ,  and 4*(19/16) = 76/16 ; that's why they end up matching

Octavarium -> After the "Full circle lyrics" (Find I've come full circle) The instrumental section begins, in a diminished scale movement -
Now you know the diminished scales have this loop (full circle) effect; that every 1.5 intervals they repeat each others - for example, E diminished (E-F#-G-A-A#-C-C#-D#-E) has the same set of melodies as G diminished (EG-A-A#-C-C#-D#-E-F#-G)

I wish that were true of TCoT.

"Lens soup"?  Lentil soup, maybe?

[Zydar]

I don't know what's correct. I googled 'lens soup' and it seemed okay.

I just now noticed this. It's so quiet. That's nuts
