Then, the fans have been waiting for!

Since we are so,... "Octavarium" A title already hear the mere water leaves me converge in the mouth it is always so that as how stupid fan of a band waiting for new releases Just Dream Theater have since in recent years taken care of a lot of eddy. Consider only times the good but atypical "Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence" (CD1) or "Train Of Thought" hardness, or the kitschy complete works of the second CD of "Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence ". Something new must be found and that gets you one more time in the form of "Octavarium" All songs Overview.:
"The Root Of All Evil" follows the thematic, and musical concepts of the songs "The Glass Prison" and "This Dying Soul" The latter is also once quoted in the song right at the start to give the guys around Petrucci everything.. Portnoy thresh out on the drums, that there is only so crashes, Myung has a few first-class passages at the start and Petrucci's like getting really unbeatable. LaBries voice is the song much better than in the two area rugs predecessors. "The Answer Lies Within" is the ballad of the album and in my opinion the best album since "Scenes From A Memory". The song is clearly Scattered, if you will, by the slight orchestral bombast. "These Walls" is probably the most catchy song of the album. One thing is clear: when trying to install DT bombast that succeed always. Special praise applies in this rather transfigured slightly melancholy-tinged song clearly Rudess and his keyboard, but also James LaBrie sings of as good as never before. Especially with the ever-building bridge that ends of the ingredients Petrucci, Rudess and Portnoy especially in a savory porridge, gooseflesh atmosphere is guaranteed. Could one be the songs, which is sometimes associated with the Dream Theater classics. The next song is "I Walk Beside You" and joins in works like "Innocence Faded" or "You Not Me", but suggests everything second called effortlessly. A number that might seem easy as a single, but would be Dream Theater not Dream Theater, if you should not expect anything more than radio fare. Especially Jordan Rudess gives the song just before the choruses a very nice touch and John Petrucci knows how terrific with his guitar playing stand out, even if a different instrument or James LaBrie in the foreground . Overall, one for Dream Theater untypical, radio-friendly number. "Panic Attack" begins with Myungs bass and opens in the brutal storms of Portnoy Drums. If you listen to this song, you know that Dream Theater have found a balance between their traditional albums and "Train Of Thought". "Panic Attack" is one of the most technical songs on the album, dominated by Myungs Bass, speedy drums and a rarely so aggressive included John Petrucci. Again and again Rudess jostles into the song, bombed the listener with fast keyboard passages. And what is very nice, there is a superb Petrucci solo. Overall, one of the wutentbranntesten, craziest works of Dream Theater. "Never Enough" begins with a muted bass before Petrucci and Portnoy enter. Rudess and a slightly distorted LaBrie's voice followed. The song wins over time more and more drama before moving to the refrain again from the guitar and drums on the floor of the facts is fetched. "Never Enough" is another up-tempo number, but not as pounding as "Panic Attack". LaBrie annoying a bit, but you verschmerzt latest when the bombastic guitar solo. "sacrified Sons" begins like that time "The Great Debate "with some vocal shreds while slowly looming something in the background. But instead of the expected Ausbrauch of Portnoy and Petrucci, everything starts quite calm and ballad with Rudess and LaBrie. A voltage is significantly higher in the air, you can feel. Wow so what can really only Dream Theater And indeed. Myung tugs hard on bass and together with Petrucci leave the second part of the song already look very different even Portnoy is something winder while Rudess and LaBrie barely no longer for the course. comes. Then also sets again the orchestra and drives "Sacrificed Sons" at altitudes as we expect from Dream Theater. So what you have allowed to last stop "Scenes From A Memory". At the end comes again James LaBrie for the course and drives together with the orchestra and the whole team already belonged "first part" of the song to the end. An epic works, great! By 23:59 minutes long "Octavarium" is now the Long Track. Times ahead:. A second "A Change Of Seasons" one must not expect, but fortunately no "Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence" (CD 2), even if "Octavarium" often at the Overture those album reminds To say there is actually only: a musical adventure that to his theater, despite its length and the fact of legend, afloat going to mind is fun and catchy It starts with the psychedelic, almost floydisch-elegiac, guitar intro, ending sometime out in a mix. Saugeiles instrument control and orchestra, and brings in between sometimes a "Scenes From A Memory" quote, namely "The Dance Of Eternity". Overall, the song is indeed diverse, but it clearly outweigh the ballad-like aspects. This fits LaBrie, of course good, but it more suitable for the quiet tones. It's almost as if DT want create their perfect song and not take risks. That's them well done, but whether this is perfect, was once an open question (I do not). Nevertheless, "Octavarium", a song that hit me at the end of the sofa and me, the words "Yes," my "Dream Theater are back !!!" elicited. A very special listening experience. For Dream Theater fans is this eh obligation to wahrzusein Too beautiful:. neither fans nor the first hour "Train Of Thought" Newcomers will be disappointed here. But that no one understands me, "Octavarium" is no second "Images And Words" or "Awake" "Octavarium" is "Octavarium" and joins with independence, modernity innovations, yet existing Dream Theater Tradition in the number of their masterpieces.. now. Even the album in 2005 for me.
