Getting more excited every day to hear new DT. I may end up not listening to any singles though because I want that first full listen on the headphones to be untarnished.
Wish I was on that boat as well, but being so curious, I know I can't sit on my patience for months.
I am going to listen. I simply can't wait. DT songs are so "much" anyway, it'll be good to get a head start on the album.
There is so much hype this time. I mean, there always is, but obviously there will be more this time. So, I am curious to hear how much let down there will be. Because... there is always griping.
The songs are too long!"
"The songs are too short!"
"James doesn't sound right"
"Too much noodling"
"Too much metal"
"Not enough metal"
" I've heard that before"
Whether a song is a top song, or a bottom song. Dream Theater is just better. I have an employee who streams music out in our front shop. ( a killer stereo system) He usually puts on Rush Radio from Pandora. There are a lot of DT songs played.
Just today Room 137 came on. Definitely not a favorite and I never listen to it. But...geeze.. it was really enjoyable to hear in that context. It beat the heck out of the Def Leppard that came on after.
