MP3 is downloading now, but nice video.

I'm a lot more excited about this than I was about Octavarium.

:Keith:

Caught in a Web meets The Glass Prison. Petrucci is on fire in it. I can't wait for this album to come out now.

Lemming

Dear God that is some savage riff! :eek:

Oh f*ck yeah roll on album release

feylya

Play.com have it listed as the 4th June here

There's two editions - that link is the special edition.

feylya

Cheer Lemming. That's that preordered Surround sound Dream Theater? Excellent!

Lemming

So .... anyone fancy going to see them play at Download in Donnington? I'm looking for willing partners in crime

feylya

:eek: Yes. When?

Patricide

Waiting for it to download now..............DOWNLOAD DAMMIT!!!!

Owen

Hopefully if enough of us download it and have Ireland as our location they might consider coming here? Wishful thinking! As someone who's been a huge DT fan since Awake, and ACOS, this is great to listen to, Petrucci's on speed!

Patricide

Ok, dont see what the fuss is about i find this quite weak in comparrison to anything on octavarium or train of though, or pretty much anything theyve done.

Anyone else think the production on the track is pretty pants, its like theres no meat to the mix at all. Wheres myungs big bass presence?

Owen

Depends I guess on the system you play it on? I just played it through mine with the sub cranked half way up, and it seemed fine.

Patricide

I just played mine on my comp speakers, now i know what your gonna say but i threw on some train of thought and theres just no comparrison.

feylya

Is the mp3 they released fully mixed though?

ANd the sounds fine on my system (5.1 digital surround with an X-Fi card). Mind you, it doesn't sound like the mae-west of productions, but I'm not batting an eyelid since this is a free promo release and hardly likely to be the final article as far as the official album release is concerned

It wasn't me!

Anyone else getting a Metallica vibe, especially when the vocals first come in?

feylya

Gah, probably wouldn't have cash for it.

I'm not gonna pass judgement on the mixing until I've heard the album but the riffage is supreme

Metallica vibes are no bad things Yeah, there is a bit

Yea, VERY MUCH so. Stil not gonna pass judgement till the fully produced album goes into my ears. From what i hear its good but not dream theater good if you get me.

feylya

Really looking forward to "The Dark Eternal Night"

It wasn't me!

Looking forward to seeing them at Hellfest now.

Somnus

I'm quite disappointed with it actually Sounds very plain...Maybe it will sound better when its the full mix but it doesnt do anything for me here...

I noticed the Metallica vibe too

Who said anything about it not being the final mix? I like it, it's more direct and to the point than octavarium, which was a bit drawn out in places. Something fresh.

Here it is "The Dark Eternal Night"....
click me

Fn sweet Riff. Really like it.:D

Dark Artist

Just downloaded it and heard it. Technically amazing as per usual. It didn't knock me off my feet but I know it'll grow on me, and I can't wait for the album!

Lemming

Mmmm, I concur with the remarks about riffage!

Patricide

The dark eternal night is good enough but im still not so sure about this album from what ive heard so far....that being said its likely to grow on me so that ill be eating my words come a few months.

The first half of TDEN is fantastic. Then Rudess has to come along with his happy keyboard playing and ruin it

I love that ragtime bit, it's like something from an old horror movie
