^let's hope that, the breaks in Breaking all illusions (around 40) were great, classic DT.

I have a feeling this album is going to be up there with SDoIT, maybe Scenes. Either way, better than the last 3 or 4 albums (I think BC&SL is great).

On the Backs of Angels is very average song, really not too much going on there. I've listened to it many times over the past week.
I will be SHOCKED if it comes anywhere close to Scenes or even SDoIT.

Have you heard the teasers? Based on those, I would say On The Backs Of Angels is probably the least best song on the album. |

the problem with teasers is that they only last for about a minute... I don't think it will be as good as Six degrees but I think it will be better than the last albums at least.

I don't trust any of those "samples" unless they're from DT's channel or Roadrunner's channel. I don't recognize it from any of the DT side projects, but I find it amusing that people think "Breaking All Illusions" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAxdslSXMGk) is a new song.... it's off Mullmuzzler 2. Sound familiar? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMtje4QipMI

Interesting. Thanks
 TBH I'm not digging that snippet.... it reminds me of 8VM with more pop hooks added.

I don't know, it sounds different that the usual softer DT song, which is a good thing. The whole album seems like it's going to be different than the usual DT fare.

The band, Petrucci in particular, is really hyping this album as being
very proggy, with a mix of metal, and even some jazzy moments as he said
in an interview

We know for sure it's going to more interesting then 90% of the music that is made today. That's what's important... And it can't be as bad as Black Clouds...

I thought Black Clouds was an improvement over 8vm and Systematic Chaos overall musically. The only thing that kind of drags it down is Mike Portnoy who didn't seem as inspired as everyone else (ironically), or at least wasn't doing anything special. It's also the only album where you literally can't hear John Myung except in one part of The Count of Tuscany before the atmospheric guitar solo and guitar swells. |

Doing a million side-projects at once PLUS having your main band at the same time does not helps creativity-wise. And I don't believe I actually dislike anything by DT, the only album which still leaves me disappointed is FII. One thing I do detest is the hyping, it most probably leads to disappointments (PS: see Porcupine Tree's latest for more information on this subjetc   ). |

More like the whole situation with MP leaving was overdramatized and now people have some stubborn preconception in their head of how it's going to sound so much different than before. "Here is the truth of the matter: The main composers of this band have always been John and… Petrucci… Yes, let’s make sure of it – John Petrucci and Jordan have been the main contributors with riffs and stuff."

I didn't say it was going to be a completely different sound or anything, just that they did things differently to make the album (different song structures, writing without a drummer, etc.) and from the teasers Ive heard, there's is some new stuff. I agree with OTBOA, but Petrucci himself said that On The Backs Of Angels was more like a "DT song", but the other ones sound refreshing - aka - not the usual DT fare.

I'm listening Adrenaline Mob, I think that MP are enjoying with the music and has left the physical and mental preparation before the gigs that requires DT.
