Just gave this a couple of spins.
I agree the mix isn't the best they've put out, it sounds kinda muddy but it's still a powerful tune. Most interesting single they've put out since pretty much I became a fan (2005). I think I still prefer it to DT13's mix (because I'm one of those folks who thinks The Astonishing sounds just fine). Maybe just a way too much cymbal getting through (really noticeable on headphones).
I love vocal effects usually (and effects as a creative resource to a mix), but the problem here I feel is that some of the effects used on LaBrie's voice kinda mess with the comprehension of the lyrics. I don't mind them that much here, though.
Don't wanna sound picky. I really enjoyed it, and the track got me excited for what's to come. I've read some very nasty comments around, tho (not here). DT fans can be jerks sometimes lol (nothing wrong in expressing a negative opinion, but the ways aren't usually the best).
