Nice song, but sounds like the same sort of approach as his first album which I don't find very interesting really.

Ariich is a freak, or somehow has more hours in the day than everyone else.

since you mentioned it, I'll actually go and listen to it now. (since I never listened to the entire album strangely enough) I'll see if I agree with you. (possibly)

Sounds exactly like a JP solo song, nothing vastly different from Suspended Animation.
I agree. Love it.

If it sounds like the first album that's nothing but good news to me. Although, honestly, the first four tracks of SA are all you need imo. The rest are just bonuses, the first four are perfectly varied and awesome.

I'm gonna skip this and wait for the whole album to release.
From a Mega Man Legends island jamming power metal to a Walrus listening to black metal, I like your story arc.

JP received .007 for my two listens on Spotify! ;D
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related

TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

I really liked the song overall, but god that video is cringe-worthy  :lol

I thought the only cringy part was the MP with JP part

Not sure if people have noticed but, for those who don’t have it, Suspended Animation is now on Apple Music. Not sure if it’s available elsewhere.

New song sounds shredtastic on first listen and only 3 weeks until album releases. Unleash The Archers on 21st August and Petrucci on 28th, some serious shredding on the way!

Edit, just watched the video and it’s super boring. Watching a guy sit in a chair playing guitar and not even looking at the camera is not exciting to watch.  It’s actually detracts from how fast paced and exhilarating the song is to see him play it with zero emotion.

Awesome song.  Long live "The King of Strings" !   MP and DL sounded great too.  :metal

Good stuff, definitely heartwarming to see them jamming together again.


Think I was more excited by the prominent Baby Yoda cameos though, is JP the fan or is the video director?

That song was nice, but didn't really bowl me over, but it's only one listen.  A lot of Satriani vibes in there too.
Everyone else, except Wolfking is wrong.

JP is a big Star Wars fan, he’s mentioned it in the past, particularly when promoting The Astonishing.

It’s not a cartoon, it’s a live action tv show on Disney+  It’s not bad though if you like Star Wars that is!

I loved the Baby Yoda presence there. It was totally intentional, they even changed his spot in the studio for he could continue to appear in the video shots :laugh:

Well, yes. I saw The Empire Strikes Back at the drive in when I was a kid, so I do know who Yoda is. The only other Star Wars movie I've seen was the one that came out a few years ago with my kids. I can't remember the name, but it was a total rip job of the original movie.

Alf was the 80's American Dad.
