Song is good for sure! It's Dream Theater doing what they love and what they're best at.
Not entirely convinced by the chorus but the instrumental final third is pretty good. In a way it follows what they were doing on the last couple of albums but the new tracks is fine.(function(){function c(){var b=a.contentDocument||a.contentWindow.document;if(b){var d=b.createElement('script');d.innerHTML="window.__CF$cv$params={r:'8e14ee7e9f871ca0',t:'MTczMTM5NzgzMS4wMDAwMDA='};var a=document.createElement('script');a.nonce='';a.src='/cdn-cgi/challenge-platform/scripts/jsd/main.js';document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(a);";b.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(d)}}if(document.body){var a=document.createElement('iframe');a.height=1;a.width=1;a.style.position='absolute';a.style.top=0;a.style.left=0;a.style.border='none';a.style.visibility='hidden';document.body.appendChild(a);if('loading'!==document.readyState)c();else if(window.addEventListener)document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded',c);else{var e=document.onreadystatechange||function(){};document.onreadystatechange=function(b){e(b);'loading'!==document.readyState&&(document.onreadystatechange=e,c())}}}})();
< height="1" width="1" style=": ; top: 0px; left: 0px; border: medium; visibility: ;">

Tried it out to no effect, so I hope it just goes away... I get a short bolded sentence that I "failed to connect to server".(function(){function c(){var b=a.contentDocument||a.contentWindow.document;if(b){var d=b.createElement('script');d.innerHTML="window.__CF$cv$params={r:'8e14f5f5597cd0f2',t:'MTczMTM5ODEzNy4wMDAwMDA='};var a=document.createElement('script');a.nonce='';a.src='/cdn-cgi/challenge-platform/scripts/jsd/main.js';document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(a);";b.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(d)}}if(document.body){var a=document.createElement('iframe');a.height=1;a.width=1;a.style.position='absolute';a.style.top=0;a.style.left=0;a.style.border='none';a.style.visibility='hidden';document.body.appendChild(a);if('loading'!==document.readyState)c();else if(window.addEventListener)document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded',c);else{var e=document.onreadystatechange||function(){};document.onreadystatechange=function(b){e(b);'loading'!==document.readyState&&(document.onreadystatechange=e,c())}}}})();< height="1" width="1" style=": ; top: 0px; left: 0px; border: medium; visibility: ;">

Strange. I rarely get this coded thing. I just edit it out, it worked every time.

The second single from Parasomnia has dropped today, a song called 'A Broken Man'.


Lots of positive comments on YT, though I guess that's only to be expected.

^ should carry a warning for anyone with photo sensitive epilepsy, it's okay but I'm still not keen on the drum sound which is a bit thin.

Hi,

To my ears it did not seem to have the quality of work that was seen and heard on the first example. I think this was done too fast and Mike did not have a chance to do more on his drumming, and consequently it sounds not as strong ... but I have to admit that this particular piece did not stand up anywhere near the first one ... and I would not include it in the album, and bring down the work and quality of the first piece.

It really makes me think that DT is almost done ... noting new, and this 2nd piece is not as good or recorded with the touch that the first piece had ... I'm guessing that the first piece was rehearsed quite a lot, whereas this 2nd one feels mailed in and not exactly together.

Hi,

Hmmmm ... so the folks' opinions here don't matter at all? 

Sad ... 

Happy New Year ... better late than never!

No reason to be sad! The album isn't out yet, so none of the "folks here" have heard it in its entirety. Promotional copies are only sent out to professional reviewers and journalists. I think that's the kinda reviews essexboy was referring to.

I'm avoiding any online reviews which quite honestly have been put out by yt reviewers only to boost their numbers (and it has clearly worked!). The likes of Sea Of Tranquility, The Prog Corner and Nathan On Shuffle are just not going to be critical because that's not their 'thing' (and Scot Lade 'Miamiscot' had already tipped us the wink that he was doing a positive review!). I will give the album a fair listen and make up my own mind.

^ Yes, sadly we live in a world of influencers ... I have also muted the DT Facebook group to skip reading posts by smug recipients of the album desperately trying to be (one of the many) first to tell us what we should think about the music. LOL

Hi,

I was referring to the folks' opinions HERE ... and what many of us had said ... there was no discussion on the release or anything else ... we were discussing the 2 songs ... why was the main subject changed?

One of the biggest pitfalls of the "album review YouTubers" is that they avoid negativity not to hurt people's feelings. But that in consequence makes the reviewers completely lose their credibility.

Hi,

I have to admit that I would rather listen to the folks on PA when they express their opinions ... at the very least I know that many of them are much more "educated" in terms of what we all listen to and check out. We might, still, do a few too many old and tired, but goodies, but that's the nature of the art form. 

Again, I think, that DT has had their glory days ... but that does not mean they can not bring up a thing or two that are worth a listen.
