I wish Kevin would play the April first show. Space Dye Vest would be amazing. Especially when you are 7 rows from the stage; like me :)[/QUOTE]
For the gig, see if you can get to the front by standing at the front of the aisle people walk down to get to their seats. It worked for quite a few people at the gig I went to but watch out incase someone (like me) steals your row 7 seats.

Can please someone tell me what is said at the very end of In The Name Of God.

EDIT: Dont worry i read the lyrics

Yeah, I checked out DT Faq before. What surprised me was the I&W song meanings.
Like:
PMU is about Hamlet
Another Day is about John's dad's cancer
Take The Time is about getting signed on a new label
Learning to Live is about AIDS
also I was surprised that the Silent Man's about Arabian Nights :-/ I thought it was about God.

I love Octavarium so much.
The intro is amazing.
I just listened to ACOS and then this.
Oh my.

Im seeing them April 1st at Radio City Music Hall in New York.

ACOS > 8V. The pre-Ruddess era was amazing. I prefer everything before Ruddess, even though SFAM is awsome.

You change your opinions of DT every week.

:lol:

My thing is this: don't make me compare. Right now, I can't stop listening to 'Awake,' but since my first DT experience was 'Octavarium,' it's probably my favorite.

Hey all. Signed up to the forums today, and am a MASSIVE DT fan.

I play drums and have Pornoy idolised at the moment. I can play most of the songs from SfaM.

Favourite album would be SfAM, but in my opinion after that everything's just gone downhill. SdoIT wasn't too bad, ToT was a pretty good listen but didn't seem typical DT style, and Octavarium just sucked goat testicles. Honestly, what the hell happened?

Nothing happened, it's just the band went in a new direction for some things. The ballads from the new album are great, but the heavier songs (Sacrificed sons, Panic attack etc.) weren't excellent. The title track is superb too.
TOT is one of my favourite DT albums, so...

I have a feeling DT will make something closer to older albums for the next one. It's just a feeling I have.


Hahaha..."Pornoy"

I don't think they went downhill at all. I enjoy the later albums as much as I do for the earlier. Obviously, some are better than others.

I love everything in Sacrificed Sons until it gets to the instrumental section. I don't get it. They make a song with some of the nicest and saddest melodies of their careers and then completely take all emotion out of it with the instrumental section. I could criticize the lyrics too, but I'm sure it's been done before in this thread.

I thought Take Away My Pain was very good at conveying John's sadness. It's about his dad dying but sounds quite happy.

yeah

imho, I think they realized they are getting older and want to play all this crazy **** before they start getting all arthritic and ****.

I somehow doubt that

Me neither, it would have been one thing to have an instrumental part that had a purpose, but instead they to the cliche dt circus music stuff. Something sounding a little more like LTE may have been better. I agree the lyrics are horrble, and they've been getting that way on a regular basis for a while now.

Nah, I think they're already arthritic. They just probably wanted to do it because they never had before.

The thing I always liked about Awake was that the songs never got out of control. The solos were limited but they had a purpose. I'd much rather hear that beautiful 2nd solo in "Lie" than a guitar/keyboard duel for 4 minutes.

Amen. Like that bit in This dying Soul. What purpose does that serve?

[QUOTE=Happy]Amen. Like that bit in This dying Soul. What purpose does that serve?[/QUOTE]

Yeah. I'm not saying any of their jams aren't cool. There is that one really special guitar line in "Octavarium" that is so beautiful sounding. You know the one. It starts out as acoustic by itself and then the keyboards start doing it. It's great. But then the part right after that is absolute ****. So, I don't know, their soloing is a mixed bag for me. It's not the biggest complaint I have with them, but let's just leave it that, okay? :cool:

I love that song so much.
