Why is nobody posting? The reactions are so fun to read. Couple more thoughts:
- Love the power of Myung in this track. The bass is doubling the drums during the super heavy chorus, which makes the overall effect so much more of a rush. Then there's the stupdendously smooth bass groove as the end of the snippet.
- Rudess goes subtle here. But I don't hear a pig sound doubling the guitar, so it's all okay.
- I don't care if I'm the only person who thinks this, but I'm always happy when DT goes djent.
- I think it's interesting how, as a guitar player, Petrucci seems to have really sublimated himself on this album. Even as he's riffing at full force during the chorus, JLB's vocals are up front. I'm sure when we hear the album the solos will all be heavily featured moments, but JP is stil way less prominent on this album (so far) than he's been in a while.
- JLB rules again on this track.
