I love Another Day! Sure it isn't prog, but it's a beautiful song. IMHO at leastCry

Forget the song, I can't stand the sheer cheese of the clean guitar tone and the synth tones.

Yes, good song.

Yeah, it's a good song. Far from DT's best, but it's a decent song.

I'm not quite a fan of this song ever since my first listen, probably because of the uninspired melodies (especially the chorus) and the ending part that keeps plodding until the abrupt (yet original) end. But it's not entirely a trash track, since I found the production to be outstanding (for my high-end sound system) and well-balanced. I don't mind about the lyrics that I sing along to, but the drum groove is what keeps my interest.

If I were to vote, it's a hard decision but I am certain that it's not my favourite so I vote it down. How Dream Theater gained their popularity through this is pretty absurd but if it works, it works.

The song is easy to get in, it's catchy with melody and the lyrics are not so bad compare to other DT songs.

Yes (good song)

Cant hear anything wrong with the lyrics, vocal melody is good, memorable chorus, powerful album opener.

I never liked this particular song didn't like the lyrics ,didn't like the melody, I thought the chorus sounded weak and the song itself seemed to go nowhere. I must be in the minority because Dream Theater themselves consider this their only hit song ?they even made a double compilation Dream Theaters greatest hit and 21 other pretty cool songs(I know Confused) ... well enough of my thoughts what do you think of Pull me under  ?
