  • My jaw fucking dropped to the floor

  • Miss you Portnoy. Imagine how would be this one if Portnoy didn't leave

    

  • industrial sounding. i like.

  • To add to the 'discussion', I have downloaded a lot of music in my time, and i listen to a lot on youtube... but I also buy my favourite bands' CDs and support them by going to their shows and buying shirts and other merch... and of course by word of mouth! The music industry is changing and there's nothing we can do about it except try to adapt.. and of course enjoy how much is freely to available to us these day... Which is a true fucking blessing. Peace :)

  • stop all the commotions!!Dream Theater is playing :)

    look 8 Bieber fans :))

  • 1080p ftw

  • I used to download music online, but then i took an arrow to the knee.

  • @allahhuakbar911 >----(knee)----->>

  • @allahhuakbar911 a fellow 9gagger :)

  • @bryanpostlikeaboss Making a Skyrim reference doesn't neccesarilly mean he's a 9gagger.

  • LINKIN PARK !!! .. OMG !! ... so sad!

  • cant believe there's ads on a DT video -.- what has this world come to?!

  • For want of a better phrase, this riff is sick.

  • Dream Theater = Epic!!! <3

  • Sounds like the way Linkin Park is supossed to sound XD jajaja

  • @sebisman2 you cant compare this to linkin park

  • @bestjesse59 I know, but the sound reminded me them XD I was just kidin

  • i will buy it

  • the bass drum is soo quiet, c'mon mangini, hit that bass drum a little harder

  • @iWANNABEGRIZZ or maybe at the studio at the time of recording they should have placed the microphone a little closer to the bass drum ;)

  • Wow, the drum mix is horrible...its like a drum machine recorded with a blanket over it. No Punch whatsoever. I hope its a poorly ripped and encoded hack job by the poster--would wouldnt be surprising

  • @Rizzy55 this album is so good

  • Mike Portnoy was Dream Theater.

  • @MlKEPORNTOY No, it was formed with John Pertrucci, John Myung and Mike Portnoy and grew to include Jordan Rudess and James LaBrie. They simply lost a member and replaced him. Portnoy was not irreplacable.

  • @MlKEPORNTOY have you seen them with mike manchini? i mean i loved portnoy too, but its the same if not better

  • Totally not trying to compare them, because DT is on a whole 'nother level... but the intro sounds like something Linkin Park would do..

  • The best album they ever made

  • Never liked dream theater. This album changed that

  • It will never beat Octavarium, as far as albums, and songs, that was the pinnacle of it all, but its still better than a lot of stuff, shame Portnoys gone though :( :( :(

  • i agree that some of the album is missing something even though its an incredable masterpeice.

  • @dreameshuggah12 its Mike Portnoy :(

  • an incredible effort by all of the band.

  • Do you know how many albums I have bought as a result of hearing them on Youtube first?  Hundreds of them which I wouldn't have bought if I hadn't heard them on here first. Listen on Youtube first and if I like I go to Amazon or Play and purchase.

  • any one agrees that this album is not that energic.sounds awesome but...it has lack of something iin it...

  • @extrememind100 After listening to the songs a few times, ive come to realise that that lack of something is probably Portnoy, man, I started imagining what the songs would sound like if Portnoy was playing (although the writing process would have gone a different way had he been there) and, in my opinion, its definately the lack of the more varied fills and especially the beats that makes the songs feel like they need something added to them. Not bashing the album or mangini though, its still

  • @therineusbassman

    "I started imagining what the songs would sound like if Portnoy was playing (although the writing process would have gone a different way had he been there)"

    Chug-a-lug goth death shred, perhaps? Face it, that stuff was getting old. They should have let it be with ToT and SC. BC&SL was old before it even came out. Portnoy's fetish with blast beats was tearing the band away from the essence of what DT actually is (i.e., I&W, SFAM and Octavarium).

  • similiar like.....a rite of passage?

  • @buffaloitukerbo yeah its kinda the same feel isnt it? o.O I kinda like how they have that familiar feel though. makes me more comfortable with it :P but also bothers me cuz new feels are cool too :O

  • Hey Dream Theater ! Come back to Los Angeles...The more I listen to this CD the more I appreciate the show at the Nokia....I wish I could see you guys here for this tour AGAIN!!! Love the direction the band is going in, evolve and progress. Love it!

  • Saw these guys at kingsbury hall in salt lake city. the drums then were causing chest cavities throughout the crowd. mike mangini is insane

  • love love love love love

  • Thumbs up if you are seeing these guys on their tour!

  • @aaronbazzanarama dude i saw em last night...... fucking hell i was absolutely blown away!!!!!

  • i true fan would jerk off to dream theater everyday!

  • i agree with the fact that downloading isnt correct but when you live in a country where this albums are way too expensive and hard to find, you kinda only have one choice

  • A true job?

  • Go buy the album. Buy all of their records. You owe it to them and most of all. You owe it to yourself.

  • lol the band will not get the money .. the recording label will

  • Comment removed

  • WTF IS THIS!? WTF IS THIS!?!?!??!

    2 dislikes? 2 people... thats 2 too many... this is such an epic tune

  • @SNeaKyNiNJa543 I really liked every song on this album, except this one. I have since bought it but in my opinion it should have been left off. Maybe it'll grow on me with a few more listens idk

  • incredible song

  • I buy albums not to give the band money (Shows/Merchandise are the best way to do that) But to help them reach sales targets and help them get higher on ''top album'' lists ect:

  • Buying an album doesn't help a band cos the money goes to the record label. Support a band by going to shows and buying merchandise

  • @uptheironsfromlondon And spreading their music trough nonbelievers, hehehehe.

  • Already bought this album. Just on here to see other people's opinion of it.

  • Didn't expect that intro, amazing song!!

  • ''A Drummatic Turn Of Events".

  • Amazing album, one little thing though... Drums need to be a bit louder man!!!!!

    Apart from that... perfect album

  • @AMartins92

    It's a shame that the album was written before Mangini's arrival... I can't wait for the next album. I'm really looking forward to seing how he stylistically contributes to the group.

  • @AMartins92 Yeah, Mangini is new to the band, he's not going to be as prominent as Portnoy until he feels fully welcome into the band.

  • @TheJetman968 I know man I know haha... chill chill

  • thanks for the upload

  • This was the riff they threw at MM during the audition, and he nailed it

  • This has GOT to be a joke.... and a really bad one.

  • @subsurfacestatic1 What are you talking about?

  • @b317280 My wife posted under my account, and we have divergent opinions on the new DT album. From what I've heard, I mostly like it. From what she's heard, she most emphatically does not!

  • @DJFhysicx You're retarded

    

  • @EvilCommunistMuslim5

    9/11 was an inside job. 3 weeks before the attack the lease holder of the world trade centers took out a 40 billion dollar insurance policy specifically covering terrorist attacks.

    Watch "Loose Change" your opinion of dream theater's "Imagery" will become more clarified when you realize that the global hierarchy has bigger plans for this world than the new dream theater album.

  • @DJFhysicx

    Fuck Loose Change.

    Fuck "inside job" conspiracy nuts.

    While I'm at it, fuck you.

    debunking911. com

  • @USAon3 A non-conspiri-tard on Youtube? Now that's a rarity. I wholeheartedly approve.

  • Apparently the HMV by where I live didn't order any of these. Conclusion: Rushed amazon delivery + youtube for now.

  • know what...im not even gonna listen to the rest...im going to buy this right now

  • the description is right, no description available

  • Comment removed

  • Damn... i was listening to the songs on this album and was slightly dissapointed because it wasn't as epic as i thought it would be and for some reason i listened to this last but i was just blown away. Of course i had heard On the Backs of Angels when it was first released and it's still my favorite on this album, but this is easily my next favorite!

  • wow that evil communist muslim is a complete idioit, honestly this picture describes something totaly different.... his name says it all cant apreciate great music lol your a faggot fuck

  • @TheAwsomeMartin

    he is a troll just ignor him

  • @b111n Yea your right people like this are a waste of time... Like just apreciate the music

  • omfg i have to have this <3

  • Will buy it this week but love to hear it on here too. Thanks!

  • @strivingx67 Pretty sure most DT fans contribute to the cause!

  • Dont pay any mind to EvilCommunistMuslim5, just look at his name. Listen to the great music by dream theater. Who bought the album on the first day thumbs up

  • I'm so happy with this album. :)

  • This is a great song, but the title chorus gets kind of annoying with the break of the songs flow.

  • i'm buying it when it comes to India, for now m enjoying this youtube video!! DT rules

  • Wait, No Top Comment?

    Stand Back, I got this........

    BOOBIES

  • @SherryZProductions i have a better top comment, it seems dream theater did not disappoint me with this album. another great one to add to the collection. and Mangini actually did a great job.

  • 17 likes 0 dislikes. Why am i not suprised?

  • Well if you knew your history you would get the point. And look at all the events that brought the 9-11 attacks. We live in a country blinded by what our government tells us. Last I knew they are supposed to protect and serve. Can't do that when we've been at war sense our independents.

  • @EvilCommunistMuslim5

    I lol'ed

  • @EvilCommunistMuslim5 Fine, DT don't need the custom of trolls

  • @EvilCommunistMuslim5 u mad bro

  • @EvilCommunistMuslim5 sad face

  • @EvilCommunistMuslim5 by me... they would do this because of Mike Portnoy when he left, they were so much surprised ''its a dramatic turn of events'' everything stands on a small rope

  • @EvilCommunistMuslim5

    You're a dumbass. . . You said the album was released two days prior to 9/11. . . Obviously you don't know what prior means, it mean "before." A Dramatic Turn of Events was released today, 9/13, two days "post" 9/11, or after. I'm not falling victim to a possible trolling here (even though your conclusion to the album cover is absurd), I'm just pointing out that your argument is flawed and that. . . oh yeah. . . you're still a dumbass :D

  • @EvilCommunistMuslim5 your name says it all i dont think they honestly spent the time offend ppl. conspiracy theories? Not sure if they intended to insult anyone never have in the past

  • @shoez290 He's an asshole man, Look I'm muslim too but seriously some people are just..... just. Stupid.

  • @EvilCommunistMuslim5 your an idiot. your not buying the album because you think that they intentionally related the album art to 9/11? just because it was released 2 days before 9/11 and the damn unicyclist? I can honestly tell you thats not at all what the art is about.

  • @EvilCommunistMuslim5 I lol'd, and even more at the fact that you got some reactions. I tip my hat to you, sir.

  • @EvilCommunistMuslim5 Hey asshole guess what? Prior means before, this was released on 09/13 you decadent communist

  • @EvilCommunistMuslim5 are you fucking crazy ? They made this picture months ago..... 

  • @EvilCommunistMuslim5 the buildings where nowhere near tal enough to be up in the clouds like that. your overthingking the cover.

  • @EvilCommunistMuslim5 Apparently people don't understand trolling anymore.

  • @EvilCommunistMuslim5 what a moronic head you've got there fucktard!!!! slimeball maggot!!! you think you are smart because of your conspiracy theories, DT HAS GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH 9/11 YOU NINCOMPOOP!!! YOU ARE A VERY ANNOYING BREED OF STUPID GENIOUS!!!

  • @epickeys dude, I'm pretty sure he was just trying to be funny...

  • @EvilCommunistMuslim5 lol retard

  • @EvilCommunistMuslim5 10/10. Mainly because so many are taking your post seriously.

  • :O I heard three seconds of it and went, shit, I'm getting this. This is amazing

  • No way I'm downloading this. I'm buying this. Something a real fan would do.

    Dream Theater! \m/

  • @KiiNGDrUmMeR

    Buying an album doesn't maker you more of a fan. It just means you have the financial means (;

  • @Fideous It doesn't make you more of a fan, but it shows you support what they are doing.

  • @Fideous Nope. Downloading something off the internet is just as bad as stealing. Not only are you robbing the band members themselves. You're also cheating the unsung heros like the audio engineers, the instrument technicians, the stage production staff, and countless others. Dream Theater didn't sell 10 million albums worldwide by giving their shit away for free.

  • @Fideous

    no way! stealing doesn't make u a fan, i'm sorry. You can get this for 10 bucks if you even look for it. money is just an excuse.

  • @Fideous ridiculous the a part of money are sent to the band -.-

  • @killerofwall yeah, like less than a dollar per album sold. And fyi, the band gets the money from the record label, who gets the money from the music stores that already bought the CDs for stock. The customer for the music store has barely anything to do with it.

  • @Fideous This album costs less than a dub of marijuana costs on Amazon!!!!

  • @Fideous its like $15..... thats not really a big deal

  • Comment removed

  • Exactly. At one point in time, when I was a college kid and couldn't afford to buy new ones, I used to buy used and worn out audio cassettes of my favorite bands like Van Halen, Zepp, even DT etc. Then I grew net savvy, and started downloading stuff. Now I earn, and I buy stuff. That didn't make any difference in my love for these bands, did it?

  • @Fideous : it's just $15 for God's sake

  • @jmlc777 i'd sell my shoes for it

  • @Fideous I guess that by 15€ you wont be starving. If you have internet you have financial means for sure. I already bought the album but ive downloaded it first so i could eargasm before the purchase

  • @Fideous Bro, stealing music is killing the music industry (the real music anyway) If you like a band (and you're a fan of their music) buy it, don't steal it. Give them the financial means to continue making good music.

  • @Fideous Exactly. I emptied out the rest of my Itunes funds (about four songs worth) then downloaded the rest for free. From you actually lol.

    They got my money this year when I bought two tickets to their Chicago show next month. They can spot my 7 bucks.

  • @Fideous What about doing both ? :D

  • @Fideous I don't always have the chance to go buy food, but when I do, I go to buy dream theater albums instead. Stay progressive my friends.

  • @moterhead7 for sure bro. dream theater > food ;D

  • @Fideous I disagree. I'll listen to this album all day on youtube, but I won't download it. This band deserves the money, even if it's from poor and broke little ol me ;)

  • @Fideous Yeah, I'd have to disagree with that. Buying the album means your supporting the band by giving them the money for the content they put out. Downloading it means nothing to them, their not getting anything out of it.

  • @Fideous A real fan would easily see the reasons to buy the album. There's obviously something wrong with your morality. That's why I have nothing but contempt for you

  • Actually it does. Stealing the album (illegally downloading it) means you lack respect for the fact that the band put their blood, sweat, and tears into the album.

  • @Rawk4Life if i want to support the band i buy merchandize, that´s the easiest way, downloading you´re stealing from the record companies, fuck them

  • Let me make it easier to understand. Bands have a rough time as it is having to allow the label they're on be entitled to a huge portion of profits made from album sales. If everyone downloaded albums from all artists on an individual label without paying, that label would go bankrupt and every artist from them would have to search for another label. Think of how much money a band has to pay just for studio time. Don't you think they deserve a financial break from the fans because of it?

  • As far as buying merchandise, if you don't have the money to buy a band's CD, then how can you afford to buy t-shirts or posters from them? Using the "I'm broke" excuse is just a cop out to justify why you refuse to buy the album.

  • @Rawk4Life or it means you are smart enough not to pay $25 for a damn CD that cost them 5 cents to make. you are respecting them by listening to their music and telling everyone you know how they are the #1 prog band to ever have had existence on this planet.

  • @G35saregod You honestly believe it only cost Dream Theater 5 cents to make? Try 500 dollars at least because renting a studio is NOT CHEAP.

  • @Rawk4Life 500 dollars for a only medocre quality studio. A real studio like the type Dream Theater would use would most likely be a lot more expensive.

    

  • @APJleader I was giving a bare minimum estimate on what it would cost any band to use a professional studio. But I do know that no studio allows a band to record an album for cheap, like what G35saregod was saying.

  • @Rawk4Life Yes, and I agree with you. I'm sorry if I came off as condicending or trying to sound like some know it all...I don't have any time durring the day to look up stuff on youtube so I'm only on at like midnight after I get home from work...and I don't always thing my posts through lol.

  • @APJleader It's all good. I was just giving G35 a reality check because he thought DT recorded their album for cheap and therefore thinks it's excusable for him to steal the album off the internet.

  • @G35saregod The countless of hours they put into this, the cost of all of their instruments, live setup, transportation, production, studio costs, is worth five cents to you?

  • @Rawk4Life Yes that is true, and iam not gonna lie, i download this album (steal) but i dont have 10000 dls to listen all the music i have, even listening in youtube is stealing, but the only thing i fell good about it, is that i go to the performances of the bands i like, in this case im going to go the next concert here in monterrey, so this my way to pay this guys something.

  • @memingas18 Listening to music on Youtube is not stealing. If you don't download the link, then technically it is not wrong to stream it online unless it gets removed due to copyright.

  • @Rawk4Life so buy a t shirt and go see them live or something, there are many ways to donate to a band DT fan 15 years

  • @chromakey84 Again, that isn't always the case. I used to have a couple of friends who specifically told me that they had little or no money at all, and that is why they download albums without paying for them. In other words, they also DON'T have money to buy any of their t-shirts, posters, or even see them in concert unless they coax "someone else" into paying their way. That is not supporting them, it's called pawning your support of the band on to another person, which is ridiculous.

  • @Rawk4Life well at the same time he is filling another seat in the venue, him paying for it or not at that point is irrelevant because the money gets paid regardless and DT, The venue and everyone else doesnt care who pays, as long as someone does.. So there are many ways to see this.

  • @chromakey84 You're still not getting it. The fact is that ever since the incarnation of Napster in 1999, more and more music fans are searching for ways to download music WITHOUT paying for it, even if they can save up a dozen dollars or so to buy a physical copy. The old way of doing it would be to burn a copy off your hard drive, and then give it to your friend so that he doesn't have to buy it himself. Either way, there is no justification for ripping off a band by stealing their music.

  • @chromakey84 My point is that new music should only be allowed to be "streamed" online, but with a blocker to keep the listener from downloading it without at least agreeing to pay a minimal fee.

  • @Rawk4Life wait wait allowed? Like, maybe humans should stop paying musicians, actors an sports players so much god damned money and pay the teachers ( jobs of importance)ect.. everyone has there fucking heads far up their asses, music is just entertainment, get over it, you are brain washed by marketing, and I have been studying music for 10 years now so its not like i dont understand how diffucult or time consuming this is, just grow the fuck up thats all, shit like this should simply be free

  • @chromakey84 Grow up? You know how idiotic you sound by claiming to have studied music for 10 years, yet are still hard headed enough to believe that bands should just release their albums free of charge? For the record, I haven't paid athletes a dime in the last 4 or 5 years since I hardly attend any sporting events. In regards to actors, they get paid for a movie they appear in BEFORE it releases to theaters. The money generated from ticket sales go directly to the company that made it.

  • @chromakey84 The reason teachers don't get paid more is because the government is spending unnecessary millions of dollars on programs that don't even benefit U.S. citizens nationally (does Harry Reid's rant about the Cowboy Poetry Festival in Las Vegas ring a bell?).

  • @chromakey84 you study music my ass dude musicians should be paid for their job.

  • @Rawk4Life Hate to break it to you buddy but pirating music is not technically stealing it.

  • @lolwut31 Pirating - a person who robs or commits illegal violence at sea or on the shores of the sea; a person who USES or reproduces the work or invention of another WITHOUT authorization. Are you that stupid to think pirating has nothing to do with stealing?

  • @lolwut31 You only say that to justify your excuse of downloading music without paying for it.

  • @Rawk4Life

    maybe you should watch the south park episode (9, season 7) "Christian Rock Hard" if you haven't already. Not everything which is legal is necessarily ethical.

  • @Fideous $10 sure is hard to come by!

  • @phoenix7289 europe-25$

  • @Fideous In some way it does, because youre not "stealing" their work. I dont have the financial means but i will do whatever its necessary to buy this album.
