I'd love to hear what nu-metal you listen to. All the nu-metal I've heard sucks.  |

The new DT album sounds like elaborate and flamboyant nu-metal, in my opinion. But then again I've never really been a huge fan.

I live in Vancouver, and neither does HMV here have it. I met a guy in the shop, hes told me that he had been looking for it in several shops in Vancouver, but none of them had it. So I think it is not released in Canada yet actually.

Mine just came today, but I didn't pre-order it until last week. And half-way through the first listen, I'd say it's their best since Six Degrees. I like it indefinitely more than BC&SL.

I'm liking this better than the last 3 or 4 at least though I'm holding back just yet on gushing with praise. I've found with the last few that my initial reaction has been pretty positive but once the dust has settled and I've lived with them a while they've turned out to be pretty ordinary. Hopefully this one will not go the same way.

That's a pretty douche-y thing for MP to do, if true.

This happens with many online preorders: there's the street date and the shipping date, which is a little earlier so the people who ordered it get it on the street date. Sometimes the mail is fast. |

I'm in the middle of my second listen and I'm enjoying it a lot. I pre-ordered my copy through amazon and got it Monday instead of today . Did this happen to anyone else?

I read his analysis a couple of days ago. Got my copy of the album recently and don't know how accurate the analysis is but to be honest - I don't care. These are only song structures he is comparing, there is no way the two albums sound alike. Actually, the new one just sounds like DT at their best. So this analysis cannot diminish the value of the newest release. Mike Portnoy's comments though have been controversial and created a lot of anger among his (and DT's) fan base. As far as I know, Portnoy "liked" some of the Facebook comments which praised Portnoy and said Labrie was a poor singer (as well as frontman). Mike also commented on Thiago's analysis, saying that he also noticed the resemblance in song structures "first time he heard it" (which was before sept 5, lucky guy  ). He added that in case the band used song structures from I&W as a "desperate attempt of secretly re-writing the past", it isn't a good idea.Nevertheless, I understand Mike's resentment. I imagine leaving DT was a very very big blow for him, especially after he realized how it changed the lives of fans and rejuvenated the band he created and led for so many years. |

My brother mentioned the Pull Me Under-esque qualities of On The Back Of Angels when he first heard that song whenever they released it. I definitely see some similarities the guy mentions, structurally at least. The attention that guy's blog is getting though is pretty damn hillarious. Portnoy comments on it though, so lots of people are lashing out at him.

Wha? Nobody's linked this yet: http://https://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=10150771825130184A
Comparing the track structures of I&W and the new album. The couple of examples are pretty clear. Haven't heard the album myself yet, but I bought it today...

I went to HMV today, and they didn't have the new DT album out. I was there to grab the new Primus and Arch/Matheos anyways, which they did have.

Fantastic album. Very versatile, dramatic. Once again incredible musicianship. I'm happy they have taken time to compose and digest all this through, unlike Systematic Chaos for example. In general it has been quite difficult for me to compare Dream Theater albums on the same scale simply because they tend to be so different from one another. I'd say ADToE is as good as SDOIT for sure, not as perfect in every aspect as SFAM is though.

Amazingly enough, there are prog and classical music afficionados who work at Best Buy...
