the phrase New World reminds me of Death Note.

IWasBored · 01-30-2016, 05:01 AM

death note ended pretty pathetically too, so i guess it's fitting.

A "user review" from metacritic:

9/10

If you are a longtime DT fan, who really enjoyed the more reserved sense portrayed in earlier DT work, then you will enjoy this album! Combining the conveyed emotion alike to Scenes From A Memory, The Astonishing really draws emotion from the listener and makes you remember that one loves music because of the way it makes them feel, not because of how fast or crazy the band can play. A true epic, The Astonishing really pleased me and put Dream Theater back in the spotlight, making me want to go see them live for the U.S. tour.

Thanks for your input, LaBrie.

But hey at least they're beginning yet a-fucking-gain.

it seriously sounds like a creed song.

one last filler track for the NOMACS as they shut down. because we really needed to waste a minute and a half of our lives on that.

I've only read like first 2 volumes. sorry......(especially if you're Japanese, you're somehow expected to be manga/anime expert, which I'm clearly not)

Axver · 01-30-2016, 05:03 AM

See ya Muse, I mean NOMACS.

LemonMelon · 01-30-2016, 05:03 AM

We're in the home stretch, gang. Just gotta get past this Sega Saturn ROM first.

IWasBored · 01-30-2016, 05:04 AM

i've wanted to go outside for a smoke since ravenskill. i could smoke the whole pack, but it will be this album that gave me cancer.

Axver · 01-30-2016, 05:04 AM

Considering how fucking long this album is, it's hard to believe this last song is the longest bar two.

LemonMelon · 01-30-2016, 05:05 AM

This is Begin Again again.

IWasBored · 01-30-2016, 05:05 AM

we already heard this song, what the fuck.

Please sue Dream Theater for your cancer.

They can afford a lawsuit now that they're back in the spotlight.

IWasBored · 01-30-2016, 05:06 AM

are you kidding me, the last song is going to be a rehash of the other songs?

It's Underture by The Who, only with infinitely worse material.

Mack_Again · 01-30-2016, 05:08 AM

there's this weird weed vender right by my apartment somehow. oooh that was the sign, as this album is only enjoyable when you're intoxicated.

IWasBored · 01-30-2016, 05:08 AM

why can't we rehash the sword fight song or three days, this is bullshit. fuck your story. that would be way more fun!

This is nothing compared to how they had a suite of songs that lasted for an entire fucking decade across like five albums, only to conclude with a song that just plagiarised from the preceding parts.
