i just bought the cd a few days ago and it does the exact same thing i just figured dream theater was being uncreative and didnt have any way to end the song
Actually it is supposed to be "cut off". It actually does finish out a measure of 4 though, listen carefully - 3 & 4 are emphasized and immediately followed by silence.
Bit of a pity 'bout the lyrics, but LaBrie's voice is better than it often is, and HOLY FUCKING SHIT everything else. The ending, the drums, the opener, the face-smashing first heavy riff and how it builds under the opener, the FUCKING TEMPO CHANGE AT 5:30-ish, and just about everything else.
...Yoshiki of X is also rather decent and some would argue that Vinnie Paul of Pantera is best. Truth is there is no best but rather different favorites to different people. That's how it all goes. (^_^)
I've listened to most of their albums (except covers, ToT and FIF). This song just caught me by surprise because the instruments don't actually stop, the song cuts them off.
Amazing song, by the way. If LaBrie didn't sing so many ear-piercing flat notes I could easily get everyone I know into this band.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
omg i hate this song!!! what the hell i seen dream theater in my revolver magazine so i checked them out and wow its not even that good....who has 10 - 20 min songs?? what a waste of time!
Meh, the ending doesn't work as well as I Want You.
The Beatles' song repeats the coda over and over until the abrupt ending. Here, they keep altering the main form adding instruments, so the outro doesn't get repetitive, so the sudden ending is deus-ex-machinaly awkward
ok ok here it gose deviding again look at first there was only HEAVY METAL all metal fall underthis. then devide all you wish. remwember this do not sit and asy what is what to a muscians work some is soft and some harder. it all about feel. in the 35 years ive played bass led me to a record deal with Metal Blade all to watch it crumble to a death of a lead guitar. untill yoru signed learn from all you hear dont banter on. go get signed then talk
Wow kid, you can't be serious... There are HUNDREDS of metal subgenres. Dream Theater IS Progressive Metal, a derivative of Progressive Rock and Metal.
Are you REALLY that close-minded? What about Thrash metal, you gonna tell us that doesn't exist either? Power, Glam, Groove,Death, Black, Grind? Hahaha, grow a brain.
There are THOUSANDS of subgenres, kid. It's not as black & white as "heavy metal" and "rock"... No offense but, how old are you?
Bands like Exodus and Testament are Thrash metal, because a label as general as "heavy metal" doesn't suit their sound well enough. Black Sabbath is heavy metal, and they sound NOTHING like Thrash. A band like Deicide is considered Death metal because of its strong occult and sacrilegious undertones. And Deicide sounds NOTHING like either Testament or Black Sabbath
There is no such thing as 'heavy metal' Because what metal isn't heavy?
That's like saying "Boy that is a huge giant!"
There's power metal, progressive metal, symphonic metal, electronic metal, technical metal, gothic metal, stoner metal, sludge metal, slam metal, drone metal, death metal, melodeath metal, technical death metal, brutal death metal, all those death metals only replace 'death' with 'black', grind metal, thrash metal, traditional metal,speed metal, etc, etc, etc.
omg what does it take to shut u up for christ's sake i personaly belive that the only metal is regular metal and heavy metal and that all other "sub categories" eventualy fall into these 2 catigories thats my opinion now stfu and get on with ur damn life
This is them. If you ask me this is DT period. Yes all their stuff is good but this album and particularly this song defines them atleast in my mind to be DT. Well not this song but Under A Glass Moon.
whats the best dreath theater album, thinking of buyin one but dunno which to gwt me into them more... i only know the the band because of rock band and guitar hero sadly
why would you bitch about metallica and megadeth on a dream theater video?
i don't understand why the hell everything's always a contest. it's a matter of fucking opinion so shut your mouths. you just look like a stupid cunt arguing about it on youtube. keep your opinion to your damn self.
Metallica will always be metallica. They still sell out stadiums and are at all of the major festivals just about every year. Every metal band has been influenced by them in some way or another. You may not like them, but you should respect the contribution that they have made
