I liked the second half of the song, from the point Rudess starts using an organ sound. The first half was kind of "meh."

I wonder whether it is an intentional "nod" to SG ... probably, they've done similar things in the past.


I see what you mean.  This week, I've been listening to Carved In Stone.Wink

Wasn't too keen on the way that it just ended suddenly after such an incredible 10-minute barrage of sound, but all five of them have certainly still got it after all these years. If the rest of the album continues in this vein when it eventually drops, then I'll be well satisfied with it.

I enjoyed the new song quite a bit, has a nice flow, didn't feel like a 10 minutes song. Well done! Smile

This is the first Dream Theater song in history that got me this hyped! I love the Castlevania style vibe.

Need to listen to it again, but on first listen I got some "Rite of Passage" vibes. Not bad! I already like it more than The Alien Smile

Edit: On second listen: Cool! The last third of the track is really nice. I also like how LaBrie stays in the lower registers, a clever move.

DT's new release, "Parasonmia" with Portnoy back will be released on February 7, 2025. Here is the first single release from the album. Kind of meh for me. Other opinions?
