The end of Begin Again gives me a total Christmas feeling.
Only King could mis-spell a LETTER.
Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.
But Kotow is right .
For some reason I get a really strong Devin Townsend (from the album Deconstruction) vibe from 3:34-3:41 in Three Days. On close inspection there are some really big differences, so it could just be that I'm having a weird reaction to that section. But I'd be lying if I said that I've never swapped out my DT disc for Devin's song Sumeria in a fit of musical inspiration immediately after listening to that section of Three Days.
And "changing the course of history" is "though you may stand upon my grave" note by note.

Similar shape though.
Fair enough, I totally hear where you're coming from. And you may be right that Juular is closer. In any case, I have on several occasions switched over to Deconstruction when I've hit this point while listening to The Astonishing. And I don't necessarily mean this to be a knock against TA. It's kind of cool when listening to something on album X can inspire you to shut it off (no matter how awesome it is) and switch over to album Y. It's neat to tease out these commonalities between my favorite bands.

It's kind of like if I were to listen to Lost Not Forgotten then go "ok, I'm now going to listen to Myrath" or listen to Never Enough and go "ok, I'm now going to listen to Muse".

It seems to me that there's a bit of a difference between the Muse/DT connections in that it's fairly obvious that DT were directly influenced by Muse in the case of Never Enough, and yet the section in TA that I referred to could have been come up with by DT independent of them ever hearing Devin. And that's part of why I find it so cool. As an aside: I've never listened to Myrath before, so I'm going to check them out now. Thanks!

Maybe even better than DT on an album-by-album basis.
I just listened to "Tales of the Sand," and really enjoyed it! I can see the similarities between some of the songs (especially Sour Sigh) and DT. Thanks for the heads-up! (And apologies if I derailed the thread.)
The Path That Divides = U2 + Scarred + I think the bit from 2:30 onwards reminds me of something but I can't quite pinpoint it.
There's a big comment thread on Moment of Betrayal video saying that 1:22 sounds like "The Great Debate"Am I deaf or can I not figure out which part?
