A Nightmare to Remember leaked as well, I downloaded them both a few hours ago and they're both quite boring.

Instead of bothering downloading, I just went to YouTube. It's not worth the trouble though.

Was not expecting that, that was pretty much a watered down version of In The Name Of God. Fantastic solo, but way overdone.

I didn't really like Constant Motion either, but still thought SC was a great album. I still have hopes for this.

Sad, but true. I thought SC was a pretty good album, but it doesn't seem like they're even trying anymore.

a rite of passage sounds like a bad case of metallica copycatting with a mediocre chorus

woopie for DT not being as good as they used to

I like them a lot, perhaps because I don't listen to Dream Theater that often. ANTR is pretty epic if you ask me.

SC sucked monkey balls btw. Octavarium was their last good album, but this'll change it, hopefully.

ANTR is great, what with all the balls out metal shit going on. That is the direction I wanted them to take.

The beginning kinda reminded me of Elegy-era Amorphis....pretty decent song nothing too great but I like it more than Forsaken
and Constant Motion. Will listen to ANTR next.

Did anyone else read the track-by-track review metalhammer gave this? The reviewer said this was their best album in 10 years.
He specifically said that The Best of Times and The Count of Tuscany were prone to become classics.

not a bad song I guess, but generic by DT's standards.

for what is a fairly commercial metal track, AROP is pretty fucking awesome. listening to ANTR now and i'm pretty impressed so far. i wasn't too keen on their last couple of albums, but i'm excited for this new one now!

Heard the first 10 min of ANTR and it was actually pretty good.

The clean part stood out rather nicely.

Benzum Green Day are a pop rock band. Dream Theater are a progressive metal band. Comparing them just shows how much of an idiot you are.

I'm not gonna get into this cos I feel like crap, but they are totally different bands. If Green Day were progressive metal (hahaha) then you could compare them til' the cows come home, but they're a totally different band so just deal with it.

Was not expecting that, that was pretty much a watered down version of In The Name Of God.

They recycle exact riffs from older albums blatantly and purposefully. At least I hope it's purposefully. This generic metal and hard rock direction Dream Theater's taking is whack. They just follow Mike Portnoy and his "bawls" vision.

To be honest I think Constant Motion is better than this; I really did not think it could get worse. Also, A Nightmare to Remember really is a nightmare (lulz). It's so horribly disjointed in places, and Mike's brilliant ideas (read: shit) are just icing on the fail cake.

feels like a slightly watered down Systematic Chaos track, but I'm pretty easygoing when it comes to music so it's satisfactory for me. I do like that main riff, reminds me of some middle east thing somehow. I'll have to check out the other...

okay I was listening to the song while writing this. Did they seriously just have a NES solo? god dammit dream theater

I listened to A Nightmare to Remember like 5 times today aha...I like that one more than than anything off of Systematic Chaos tbh. I really love the "In Peaceful Sedation..." part...and I dig the outro, love the keys and the blast beats work if you ask me.

But yeah that keyboard solo in A Rite to Passage is pretty gay.
