Looking glass is brilliant. Enigma Machine just started, and I just had a sex explosion.

Stream quality is great as well, which is a relief.

False Awakening is incredible. Especially the last movement. My steam restarted halfway through TLG so i get to hear False Awakening in all its glory.

Anyone who was doubting MM after hearing TEI and AFTR, please listen to Enigma Machine.

My first thought: I want an instrumental version of the album.
Ouch. :-[

James still has time to impress me. I've only just gotten through Enigma Machine.

11:25 Illumination Theory. You're welcome.

I raise you a 15:26 IT onwards.

No thanks. Not really a fan of any part of that outro. :dunno:

Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

Okay, the Bigger Picture is my favorite so far. Maybe second to Enigma Machine.

"False Awakening Suite" complements "The Enemy Inside" really well. "TEI" hasn't sounded this good to me yet. I still want it to hurry up and get out of the way, though, haha!

That last repeating melody in FAS was really cool, sounds like something from the most recent Sherlock Holmes movies!

Listening now, and False Awakening was pretty cool, great intro for TEI.
If anyone in this thread judge him; heyy James WTF? about you in Awake In Japan? Then I will say; WTF about you silly?

Behind the Veil reminds me so much of Megadeth. It's weird.

edit: Well, I guess not. It changes gears a lot.

ADTOE sounds so bland after this Firework called DT12!  The Bigger Picture has great Chorus!

I thought the same thing, wasn't really that into TEI but when I heard it in the context of the album I just got it. It clicked for me.

Just got to The Bigger Picture. Holy shit this album is what I've been wanting from DT since SFAM. Concise, proggy, songs. Holy fuck. They nailed it right on the fucking head.

I know the bit you mean. I thought more TBA Metallica, although the verse vocals give off a Megadeth vibe. JLB can sound a bit like him at times, except a zillion times better. :biggrin:
