Immediately switches back to dark blue theme.

No good?

After a fucked up and frustrating morning, I am finally listening to The Astonishing.

I am only on Dystopian Overture, but

Holy fuck

Did it contain Puke ?

Now on Brother, Can You Hear Me.

This is incredible. Almost a mix between Pink Floyd and Queen.

I was just downloading some *ahem* adult material from the internet, and it required a captcha type of thing, and it's four random letters, combo of uppercase and lowercase. The captcha it just gave me was "Ecup".

And no, the thing I was downloading didn't contain E cups.

Your porn name would be Optimus Shlong.

I had the thought this morning that this is what Queen would have done if Bohemian Rhapsody was two albums long!

Prog Snob · « **Reply #3053 on:** January 29, 2016, 10:36:42 AM »

It's definitely different from anything they've ever done musically. I mean, almost every song has a different sound to it. It's brilliant.

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #3054 on:** January 29, 2016, 11:08:24 AM »

Just finished.

Holy crap, that was ridiculously awesome.

I hope all this DT brouhaha that appears to be going on around here brings Herbie the Rad Dorklift back.

Onno · « **Reply #3060 on:** January 29, 2016, 02:59:34 PM »

It really was fantastic. But I'll have to listen a few more times to absorb it all. The concept and lyrics are less cheesy than I expected... the whole track description on the DT website is phenomenal.

Scorpion · « **Reply #3061 on:** January 29, 2016, 03:01:31 PM »

I found it pretty damn cheesy, to be honest, but the music does feel a lot fresher than DT12 ever did (though I still quite like The Enemy Inside and Behind the Veil).

Three Days and A New Beginning slay.

Onno · « **Reply #3062 on:** January 29, 2016, 03:19:08 PM »

Well, yeah, it's a bit cheesy, but I thought it was less cheesy and better worked out than the story of SFAM.

It's so much fresher than DT12, or, for that matter, ADTOE, I agree. I've said it before, but I pretty much dislike DT12 apart from IT and I think ADTOE is decent but has a few things I don't really care for, so TA basically restored my confidence in DT I think

Kotowboy · « **Reply #3063 on:** January 29, 2016, 03:21:15 PM »

Cheesy + playing it completely straight faced = BAD

Cheesy + having fun with it + not taking it 100% serious = GOOD.

Scorpion · « **Reply #3064 on:** January 29, 2016, 03:22:50 PM »

It all depends on the amount of cheese.

And maybe I'll think about it differently tomorrow, but right now, it's a bit much. Especially the "we see each other for the first time and we're madly in love and we know that we are destined to be together, whatever happens" - I don't think that I've EVER liked that in a story.

Onno · « **Reply #3065 on:** January 29, 2016, 03:24:47 PM »

Yeah, I agree about that. And maybe I'll have to scrap the 'less cheesy' part of my comment in my previous post

But hey, as long as it's Dutch cheese, I'll take it any day. In fact, I do eat it. Every day. Every single day.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #3066 on:** January 29, 2016, 03:52:55 PM »

A New Beginning slayed me. Great tune!

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #3067 on:** January 29, 2016, 09:49:02 PM »

Don't we have an entire sub forum for this? Dammit, I need somewhere to breathe.

HE IS BACK

Quote from: clinks63 on January 29, 2016, 09:10:13 PM

clinks63 was here..

(from page 1 to 21)

i've listened to it with the story https://www.dreamtheater.net/theastonishingtracks, reading track by track..i cried a tear on hymn of thousand voices, very disney story but love it overall. for the ballad tracks, i always gone to sing "for the first time in forever..."
should it be expected to have more ballads since it was meant to be musical?
also wondering about "the third arrives..." connection
was expecting more TOT like tracks on some songs, this very SDOIT with SFAM TSCO
what governing body will award them for this astonishing album? will they get grammy for this? broadway awards?
i also wonder what song is very similar to Our New World

lastly what is the digital player? is it a Walkman or an iPod?

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #3069 on:** January 30, 2016, 01:56:11 AM »

OH SHIT YES LET'S SCARE HIM OFF AGAIN FOR ANOTHER FEW YEARS

Zydar · « **Reply #3070 on:** January 30, 2016, 02:08:26 AM »

I bet the music player is an iBug.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #3071 on:** January 30, 2016, 02:10:17 AM »

I bet the music player is a Zune-der.

Does anyone even get that reference in 2016?

Scorpion · « **Reply #3072 on:** January 30, 2016, 02:15:32 AM »

I use Zune.

By necessity, because Windows Phone, but still.

I would have never bought it, but I my dad got one from his job for free, and then switched because he didn't like it, so I got it for free from him - not really in a place to complain, therefore.

But when this one dies, I'll be getting something different.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #3075 on:** January 30, 2016, 02:41:31 AM »

You can't complain with free!

Does anyone have Java installed on their computer? This site requires Java to download these images all at once, and when I tried installing Java it didn't work, so I'm not sure if it's just me (and I promptly deleted it because I don't want Java on my computer)

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #3076 on:** January 30, 2016, 03:28:39 AM »

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #3077 on:** January 30, 2016, 03:37:21 AM »

Morning, hef. What's the plan for the weekend?

FlyingBIZKIT · « **Reply #3078 on:** January 30, 2016, 03:39:38 AM »

This sucks. I'm supposed to work from 9 A.M. to 2 P.M. today. It's 5:38 A.M. right now. I need to leave at 7. So:

A) Try and get an hour of sleep and see if that gives me a little rest.

B) Drink coffee, coffee, COFFEE!

C) Or just fact the fact that I am fucked

or D) It's my mom's business and she said she's closing today. So. There ya go.

Podaar · « **Reply #3079 on:** January 30, 2016, 04:06:22 AM »

Morning, Blob, King, & FB
