"Nightmare" is pretty sweet, except for that part where Portnoy gets to do some really, really awful vocals. "Rite" is much less impressive to me.

Just got the recording - it is, by far, light years beyond that last one.

On "Wither" right now, it's about writer's block - and it's beautiful. This record is exactly what I needed this year, kick ass.

Yeah, this is DT's best album since Scenes From a Memory. There are parts in each song that I dislike, and I really don't care for The Shattered Fortress because it has like two minutes of new material (the other 98% is recycled bits, I mean references, from the other songs in the AA cycle), but taken on the whole its a strong record. The Count of Tuscany, despite its terrible lyrics, is a sweet closing song. Wither is probably DT's best song in a long, long time.

I hate this. I have to wait until June 23 to listen to this album. They put Rite Of Passage on iTunes. I hate freakin' iTunes but I broke down and put it on my laptop the other day just so that I could download ROP. Now they have one of the songs from the cover songs disc on iTunes. It's Stargazer originally by Rainbow.
Oh, and the kicker is that I just discovered that I could have downloaded ROP from Amazon.com.

Could you be any more vague?
I mean, the obvious answer is that the album does not come out until June 23. Last album, I got a couple of songs early but they were not very good quality. And frankly, I don't know how I would go about getting the album now (if that is what you're suggesting). I don't do Limewire or Pirate Bay.

Interesting. I've never really listened to these guys, which is strange because that's my kind of music. I'm going on Dream Theater marathon. Been listening to a lot of Bullet for my Valentine lately. I love the way they complement each other on guitar. Long live shredding.
