Customer Review

Pretty much just 2years after again brought back the classic balance with Octavarium in their albums and have thus laid for me a absolute classic Dream Theater now bring in 2007 her 9 (When Dream and Day Unite '89 Images And Words Awake '92 Falling Into Infinity '94 '97 '99 Scenes Six Degrees '02 '03 TOT Octavarium '05) studio album on the market and what has changed or can you actually expect? Many critics thought before 2years that Dream Theater have already said everything that the band which opposes defiant one comes out with fresh songs like "Constant Motion" is an absolute tribute to metallica only the song recalls Hetfield but you have to say LaBrie the good macht.Aber also Neo-prog songs like "Repentance" which are influences between tool and include Pink Floyd at first glance just a little strange because the guys at first 4Tracks throttle and then the tempo a bit too rausgenommen.Zudem Mike Portnoy sings more than ever vorallendingen at "The Dar Eternal Night" one gets distorted voices with an already almost Chanting lyrics served and here again find top notch as I is one of the toughest numbers available from Dream Theater, but will also songs like "Forsaken" perhaps has seen something lyrically weak Chorus but otherwise accompanied nicely with Jordan Rudess Piano Klänegn and the guitars wemsen schön.Balladen right there to hear so here in "The Ministry of Lost Souls" the very but Dream Theater is only typical quiet then for up properly the boxes and rocks with all ascends what the boys identified so hat.Aber you should take your time with this song as actually all at Dream Theater for listening to recently, one may not always immediately say to how the board is really why I've also left time and now rate the songs on the record.

In The Prescenes of Enemies Pt.1: In the past there was always 3Platten a kind of tension to all the instruments and inserting one always tried to intro #s but the conclusion of the previous plate thematized jumps one of the opener equal beautifully and tribend face and the same will prove again who's boss here in the ring, Rudess bangs again Broken Tune and the riffs tribes a beautiful through the song, however, is this rollercoaster ride after 2min. first introduced dampens something and you will something melidiöser and bolted back a few beautiful solos in the song song.Der starts for me, but only to be as James La Brie really good with his singing starts from there is really no question of class song Dream Theater create a super opener towards the have a really awakens long not so good and refreshing opener belongs!

Forsaken: Beautiful transition of then with the piano riff begins played by Jordan, shortly after putting the rest of the band a one is passed through a beautiful reef for the first part of the song is only by drums, bass, and the beginning belonged piano riff before Petrucci gently engages and then you will be brought again in a different mood for the song opens and Labrie raises his voice and the lyrics maybe a little plate chorus is really well done then it goes heavy metal riffs dominate the next song and let him nice to come to the chorus, the soloists' by Petrucci is as always from another planet, the man must have an idea you do not stock the discretion kann.Dass song ends nicely again with piano music.

Constant Motion: Blackened? 1989? James Hetfield? Oh ne sry is yes legend Theater.Das song begins with the coolest riffs I've ever heard of Dream Theater although many will say that the Metallica song would resemble where this applies only to the first part of the rest rather Dream Theater is then typically specifically the mittleteil is absolutely virtuoso and ingenious but also the Doppelgesang Portnoy and Labrie is now tuned absolutely perfectly fits like a glove on # s eye, the central part is then Dream Theater pur very well done this polker like piece with the skillfully brilliant solos of John Petrucci is a delight to the guy zuzuhören.Danach am back heavy metal to the very catchy but ingenious Chrous is repeated again and de rsong goes towards the end and wasbleibt yet to say = Wow rarely heard Dream Theater so fresh.

The Dark Eternal Night: you thought it's not rocking or metal-heavy Well then, please "The Dark Eternal Night" hear that tells a fiction about a monster that lived long ago times and the same time a praise to Petrucci of the text written? has is really great! Then the guys frickeln by a metal bombast of the finest shortly thereafter go into the verses which Portnoy and LaBrie with distorted vocals almost rapping?! ..... well it has a cool look and needs at the point Labrie sometimes he commended to sing again better than on Octavarium also on this record and I'm curious as Mike Portnoy hinbekommt these parts live :)

An epic chorus just adds and so drives the song the first 3:30 as an electric locomotive vorsichhin until then a fat break lodges and first each must profile and whether Portnoy once again plays the weirdest fills or Rudess be Kurzweil keyboard squeezes coming back one's tears, then slowed to the pace once more and then take the final again in a Metal Inferno and Petrucci directs this one with a fast riff then put Portnoy's double bass and Petrucci from fires a solo at its best .and then the very end to get there again to where they were so a 8:54 min. roller coaster ride when it comes to metal Dream Theater.

Repentance: charged after the first 4 Power songs you have to first back and may listen to the quiet Repentance what mi ch had only disturbed slightly because only it did not fit so right in the concept since it began sher rock, but be time take the song repeatedly hear and be enchanted and the brilliant atmosphere of this song would einfangen.Zu Describe the song probably best described as a piece of music sher psychadelisches somewhere between Tool and Pink Floyd floats just 5min sets Petrucci for the first solo, and By then one has the song grabbed the acoustic guitar in the background accompany all very nice, seen thematically sets Mike Portnoy hereby his AA Saga continued here he reacted quite differently than on the predecessor but aufkeinenfall worse.

Prophets of War: You can tell the Muse still has some influence on the band, the text was written by Labrie, however, many have rather negative reviews condescended about but that you can be influenced by Muse in this case fit the heavy riffs and the crazy keyboard parts together beautifully, the vocals which is like a horde of people listening to middle class gemacht.Und the deep voice is super coordinated with the rest and once again show Dream Theater as geht.Der song calmed down once and then takes then drive back on and finally it gets really heavy again and you have to say Dtkönnen write shorter songs you do not have always compulsorily 17min. Writing songs only remains to say that the Muse influences not always everyone is me gefällts definitely.

The Ministry of Lost Souls: 15min is the stück.beginnen doing the very epic calmed down again in typical prog style and remains beiPsychadelischen acoustics Gitarren.LaBrie sings very well again, then go back a little faster to business class Chorus and calmed song itself guitars the song a little background in psychoacoustics and a cool Petrucci solo.So From the 7.Min. changing the song and becomes more aggressive and the song kicks in an opposite extreme to Dream Theater are something metallic, Rudess throws a few more rousing keyboard parts and are wiedern everything ais the tasten.Insgesamt go here very epic to one stays very melidiös what the plate is a lot of variety and well the overall picture is facing.

In the Prescenes of Enemies Pt.2: Actually were the prescenes of Enemies Pt.1 and Pt.2 a long epic but Mike Portnoy did not know what to do now because the song was good to start for the plate as well as a good Conclusion So you cut the song at a good place now and turned it into 2 parts but is one so live the whole epic play you will be 25:38 min fully by ziehen.Der 2nd part will display everything again on what Dream Theater so accounts give all ihrbestes and pull a mega program now and we would prefer to kneel and quietly goes the plate then with piano music to end.

Conclusion: My favorite Dream Theater album comes to an end and I let it run again several times a day that's for sicher.Bleibt predict the Dream Theater to deliver a very fresh and modern album here and that is seen lyrically absolutely great and the porduktion is also very good all things which the predecessors lacked a little on the edges and enden.Zudem are Dream Theater metallic and simultaneously melidiöser than ever before so a very homogeneous album and that makes it so strong so buy !!!
