Roll the Dice - the general theme of the album is taking chances/luck and how different things can be depending on them. Full of cliche's, but oh well
1.
Close Your Eyes (8.42) - The Pull Me Under/On The Backs of Angels style opener. Deals with taking chances blindly and the consequences.
(Petrucci)2.
The Feeling's Mutual (6.30) - The heavy, aggressive lead single.
(Petrucci)3.
A Second Chance (4.46) - A ballad about a breakup and reconciliation.
(LaBrie)4.
Risk and Reward (11.04) - Self explanatory title. Really proggy track.
(Myung)5.
Power Struggle (7.02) - Another fast paced, heavy song. Crushing riffs and blistering solos, but with a really catchy chorus.
(Petrucci)6.
Follow the Light (6.50) - A lighter, much more mellow song. Second single.
(Petrucci)7.
Poverty and Profit (10.19) - A tale about 2 brothers separated at birth - one lives a life of poverty, the other lives in luxury, using his wealth and connections to make more money off the less fortunate. 2 distinct styles of music separate the song, each representing 1 of the brothers.
(LaBrie)8.
Cheating Fate (17.56) -
I. Introspection (Instrumental)
II. Connection
III. Misdirection
IV. Reflection
The Epic, featuring varying styles of music and more experimental sections.
(Petrucci)Total: (73.09)
I spent way too long on this
The best bit about these threads is looking back through them when the real tracklist is revealed and seeing if anyone got close with any of the titles
I think a few people have been very close with some in the past!
