  • if you listen really hard to the end of odyssey then you can hear mike portnoy go "i almost broke my stick on that last chord!" lol

  • i can´t recognize the one from 1:02 - 1:04

  • @metallero85 I believe its the Wither solo

  • is that his house ore wath??

  • It's so weird listening to this after listening to the album thoroughly and remembering hearing this before the album was released and feeling very excited.. haha :)

  • thats mike portnoy, the drummer

  • wtf is this man???

  • What I like with DT albums is there is always one of them who fits with my mood.

    Anger, Adrenaline: Train of Tought Adventure : Octavarium, Change of season

    Glory, Triumph:Images and words

    Confusion, suspens: Scenes from my memory, SDOIT

    Smooth attitude, relaxing: Falling into infinity

    All of them: Black clouds and silver linings

    Just my opinion here ;-)

  • @LEBEL777 where is Awake ?? I think in the first category

  • im still trying to wait till it comes out on the album but what song is that last part from

  • Nightmare to Remember

  • In a nightmare to remember Portnoy is growling with anger because everyone survived?wtf?

  • he sings that its good that they survived, but all this pain and suffering could have been easily avoided.

  • That's the reason for wich he is growling with so much anger?Sorry,but it still seems stupid to me.Just my two cents.

  • perhaps. Think of when a drunk driver kills somebody in the car, in another, w/e. Usually witnesses or people involved state how horrible it is, how can someone do that. I think its similar to that sort of thing. Maybe the driver at fault in this situation was drunk.

  • he's growling because the memory is still haunting him. he's speaking Petrucci's thoughts, however.

  • and actually making #6 on the Billboard matters to him too. idk how u can the lyrics are garbage. does it not create a setting and a story? does it not involve characters in a plot? it most certainly does. and even if he wanted to growl, so what? they're still a phenomenal band.

  • you're a cunt.

  • I was aiming it at this "DT recent lyrics are garbage compared to the previous ones,like Learning to live,for example.

    The only decent lyric that he wrote in this album is Best of Times(and that just because it talks about his dead father) "

    Not only did you put down some very very smart lyrics you said "and that just because it talks about his dead father" What the fuck man, have some god damn fucking respect.

  • I definitely know what you're talking about, but for some reason when I imagine King Diamond at those parts, it immediately makes me laugh and the song becomes so much fun!

  • take a good listen---- This a great CD!

    it''s ALL right here--→ enjoy--

    but YOU must buy ! remember DT~~

  • The Count of Tuscany is AWESOME

  • Have you got an mp3 of it? Can you pm me if you do?

  • I have the complete album and one of the 6 cover

    Stargazer "Dio"/rainbow!All is fkng Awesome...pm for you with all link's ;)

  • Awesome thanks in advance

  • yeah. it's so amazing, i can't even put it into words.

  • @YYZSoHoYYZ Dream Theater, Statovarius, Apocalyptica, Animals as Leaders, and Scale the Summit all describe the word EPIC through their music. 

  • @YYZSoHoYYZ Count of Tuscany is the best song from that album and is my third favorite song of all time. No one could do as many long song as Dream Theater has done. =D

  • @SpartanLaserCanon I would seriously disagree with that statement.

  • The intro and ending of The Count Of Tuscany is like the best thing Dream Theater has written, at least comparable to anything on I&W, Awake, or SFAM.

  • i couldn't resist so i got the leaked version: its the best dt album since images and words... ya its that good i'm buying it the day it comes out...

  • BC&SL leaked. It is by FAR the best album released this year, already! This is definitely going to be bought by me, the first day of its release!

  • The Shattered Fortress shatters all! ]:) It totally rules, rocks and so on... Kinda sad the saga ended. At least if that is the end... I expected maybe a bit more of a "grand finale" feeling (not their last song from SDOIT, just a more epic sounding end maybe). But hey, it is awesome this way. Anyway, I still can't process this album as a DT album. It is very different, even for them. No offense, guys, I'm a huge fan but BC&SL sounds to me quite mainstream-heading-but-not-yet­-reached album.

  • i think it's their best album since scenes from a memory

  • agreed 100%. this and scenes from a memory are the best.

  • while scenes may be up there for me, i would have to put either systematic chaos or train of thought up there with black clouds

  • the shattered fortress ending on the glass prison riff wasnt a good enough finale for you!? lol

    and how the song is amazing... its my nest dream theater song cuz its there best songs.... all into 1 =DDD

  • I have the new album in my blog, check profile, sounds awesome, The best of times 10/10 my favorite song from the album

  • yeahhh !

  • Edan Euy!!!

  • 'let it out' sounds really good.. i cant wait =DDD

  • I think that might be "Wither" because that is the calm song of the album

  • yer.. or it cud be the best of times... thats soft and heavy...

  • You'll probly be right Viper. Wither's apparently about writers block

  • Best Dream Theater since Scenes From a Memory?

  • hell yes!!! i am so optimistic black clouds & silver linings will be their best since scenes from a memory.

  • I'm not sure. Their best albums in my opinion is "Awake" then "Systematic Chaos". I'm still not sure what to think about this album. The beginning of "A Rite Of Passage" doesn't sound all to good, but the rest of the song does. Well, we've gotta wait until this album comes out. I'm expecting a lot.

  • i'm expecting a lot too. i mean im just saying that because i read a review on the new album and the reviewer said "the best of times" is the most old school DT song in a while so it got me really pumped!

  • Hopefully they don't mean "When Dream And Day Unite" old. Hahaha.

  • that would be crazy! lol

  • Yeah they kicked out LaBire and brought back Dominici! He's was a much better singer anyways. (Total sarcasm right there. Dominici was terrible.)

  • haha yeah Dominici was pretty bad for Dream Theater. I'm sick of people dissing LaBrie. i mean people don't realize he ruptured his vocal chords which caused a drastic change in his voice, but now i think he's still an amazing singer.

  • the best of times and the count of tuscany are 2 of the all time best dt songs... all of the others are awesome too...

    it's the best dt album since images and words

  • when i heard the best of times i was like best song ever, no lie. the count of tusany is just incredible! Dream Theater really stepped it up on this album! wither is unbelievable as well.

  • I have A rite of passage on my profile in HQ sound.

  • yeah.

  • would i be completely wrong if i said that these samples were all taken from A rite of passage and A nightmare to remember?

  • The lyrics "Give me one more chance" isn't in the two of them, or am I wrong? i don't recognize it.

  • There are only a couple bits that are from Rite of Passage. I haven't listened to ANtR (don't want to spoil it for myself), but if I had to guess, I'd say that the line "Give me one more chance" is from The Shattered Fortress. As for the others, it's hard to say.

  • People! I have the entire A Nightmare to Remember with resolved copyrighted! Its in two parts!

  • I have A rite of passage on my profile

  • estos si que se las traen mi grupo favorito por mucho ,.........y de los mejores musicos que he escuchado

  • They're coming to Bulgaria 3rd July

    And i'm not going :'(

  • I disliked A Rite of passage a bit...but A Nightmare to Remember sounds very good...anyway,im my point of view,their last perfect album was scenes from a memory:the other ones after this one always had 1 or more songs that not pleased me completely.

  • Hopelessly drifting bathing in beatiful agony"

    beautiful agony means ORGASM!! wahahah!!

    DREAM THEATER ROCKS!!!

  • You can hear a riff from "The Glass Prison" at 0:27

  • which riff, the begining intro riff or the middle heavy riff?

  • it's possible that's from the AA song if that's rly what it is. All the others reference previous ones in some way, and I bet this one references all of them

  • Yeah i noticed that one too

  • It´s real. Pay attention pepole.

    Is the minute 11:39 from "The Glass Prison" with another rithm.

  • then I guess you haven't heard that the first two songs of the album leaked, huh?

  • I think the entire album has been leaked now, hasn't it?

  • yeh i got it lol

  • wtf stop asking for these songs they havent been released yet its just samples from the new upcoming album...

  • For those of you who have heard the songs already and are interested... I just put up a video of my friends and I playing part of 'A Nightmare to Remember'. If you don't want to spoil the surprise don't watch cuz it reveals quite a bit. Take care!

  • They have not been released yet -_-

  • demonoid . com is the web to download

  • A Knightmare to Remember is a very good song.

    A Rite of Passage is pretty good, but nothing special.

  • i've found them...spectacular!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

  • I can't upload the songs, it's illegal, but on the web you can find A Nightmare To Remember and A Rite Of Passage.

  • nvm

  • where the fuck can i get those songs please tell me

  • can you please upload all the songs to a site like rapidshare and put links here? o:

  • 4. Wither is, with AROP, the shortest song of the album, talk of the religion and also this is a nice song

    5. The Best Of Times and The Count Of Tuscany are both FUCKIN' EPIC SONGS! 19 minutes both, The Count Of Tuscany will be a masterpiece-wanna-be of Dream Theater!

  • I've listened all the album, and I can say:

    1. The Shattered Fortress is a collage of all the precedent AA saga songs (it's the final chapter)

    2. A Nightmare To Remember will be a controversial song (heavy riff, soft riff, strange sounds, double pedal and also at the end of the song Portnoy use blastebeat and growl for few seconds)

    3. A Rite Of Passage talk of the masonry, not a masterpiece but a nice song

  • OMFG, Black clouds will be a masterpiece then, a nightmare to remember was spectacular!!!

  • haha the final part it`s from a nightmare to remember

  • yes, i know all of their albums^^

    but Octavarium still is my fav.

  • Fuck whats all this about new DT and old DT, just be fucking happy there is still a DT.

  • Oh seriously , shut up with all this whiny posts.

    First of all, until now there were 2 promo-reviews of the album by 2 critics who very liked the album.

    second of all, everything about the album until now sounds awesome.

    and third of all , how the hell can you say "old fans are very disappointed , this is not the real DT" ?!

    1. speak for yourself , a lot of old fans are very excited for this album.

    2. how can you be disappointed and say its not real DT by hearing half minute of the new album?

  • 1st. With TOT, SM, SDOIT, NM is enough

    2nd. The real DT was true with Kevin Moore,the best keyboard player of progressive rock DT I discovered in 1990 and that has completely changed the banda style

    4th. Since 1994 James has no voice

    5th. In a Petrucci's clinic,I told him that Images and words and Awake were the best DT albums then he nodded and said,"I know" with a nostalgic smile.About Kevin Moore he said something like "Kevin Moore created much of the paranoid progressive environmental style"

  • SM not.. SC = Systematic chaos

    certainly chose a great title for this record.... xD

  • I absolutely agree with you, absolutely!

  • for now i hope that bass master john myung will return again to his 6 strings yamaha bass :|

  • mmmmmmmmm.... nothing like Images and words and Awake... :(

  • yeah, nothing new

  • ABSOLUTELY....and also ACOS ....

  • well, my fav album is Octavarium, i think Silver Linings won't beat that, but i think it is gonna be really good. i did not found any passages or things i don't like in this trailer.

    @iamrichlol: the best example for this is the first song Crucify! clean guitar intro, then the same riff with distortion and then the whole song in 200bpm. just imagine Hetfield on vocals.

  • Comment removed

  • I expect this album to be the best since SFAM. Everything I hear sounds amazing right hear, it seems that there will be some heavy crazy stuff, some amazing solos, epic Labrie singing, acoustic rythym.. And just 6 songs.. hmmm I bet there won't be any "bad" song in this album, (with bad i mean.. Like another Constant Motion or something, CM is not a bad song at all, but for a DT song... is too weak)

    I'm really excited with that album!! :D

  • constant motion is awesome, yer its a bit metallicaish! but the solo was great, and the riif was 2

    this album i can see being better than sys chaos, which was a great album, but its dream theater, every album keeps getting better and better...

  • Can't wait !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • to dtrox84:

    I don't think so. I found the Elements Of Persuasion really bad, just like a Metallica album with James on vocals. I know, you all will hate me for this xD

    But this is just amazing.

    In Germany, the album comes out on the 19 of june.. so i only have got 4 days to their concert in Munich to know the whole album off pat^^

  • how can you say this album is amazing based on some randomly places 3 second clips?

    But from what I can hear, this sounds like its going to be as bad as the last 2 DT albums.

    Elements of Persuasion = Metallica? wtf

  • Lol that's both a contradictory and hypocritical sentence if I've ever seen one.

  • Indeed. I hope I'm wrong though, but I'm not going to be disappointed when the album sucks

  • Now DT is for the new generations but the old fans are very dissapointed, this is not the real DT :(

  • can't wait to grab this shit.

  • probably this will be the best one of the last dt career's part

  • vamooooooooo!!

  • Dreamtheater rullz....i cant w8 to to 23.june...this album will be awesome!

  • justtouploadsong - thanks for catching my sarcasm

  • this album seems to be a very very good and melodic and progressive one, can't wait for june to come :'(

  • is it just me, or does this sound alot like Labrie's solo cd elements of persuasion?

  • OH DAMN I CAME TO THIS TEASER!!!^^

    kidding xD

    I CANT WAT FOR THIS ALBUM!!! IT DEFINATELY WILL BE GREAT!

  • Definitely getting the Special Edition the day it comes out. I lol'd at the picture of Portnoy on the farm.

  • when does the video of dream theater A Rite of Passage come out?

  • I'll try to get the 3 CD version!

    I can't wait... I CAN'T WAIT!

    The best musicians of our time are releasing a new album! how epic is that?

    Ok Systematic Chaos was kind of under-par (still good, but not if you compare it to other DT stuff)

    But i have really HIGH hopes for this one

  • I completely agree with you. There just didnt seem to be the same inspiration and emotion as their previous albums. I still know every Systematic Chaos song by heart note for note though. lol

  • kiwistone, I think you lost what's called "humor sense".

    "ThraxDethDT" was kidding, its clear if you keep reading what he wrote.

  • I'm wait!!!!!! Dream Theater come in Russia in the summer!!!

  • omg omg omg omg cant wait D:

  • oooh damn!!!! I just can't wait!!!

  • I'm looking forward to this album.

    :-)

  • omg cant wait this album is gonna be hektik!!!!!!!

  • OMG anothr copy cat album by a mediocre wanna be metallica metal band...

    In other words, this is going to be the best album EVER!!!!! Can't wait to hear the new stuff live!

  • Comment removed

  • Rofl. Dude you had me going until I saw the last part.

  • Matalica couldnt touch half the guitar notes with 2 guitar players as JP can do solo! I think your the wanna be for even comparing DT to them.First of all Lars Uor James H.couldnt even spell COMPLEX besides

    playing it ! Now go back to kindergarden and relearn the ABC's of music.

  • Wow, you can barely spell complex. I am amazed by such bad grammar, incredible. Some of the SC riffs do sound a little bit like metallica.

  • I am sorry if my "grammar" is too "COMPLEX" for your reading and comprehension of the English language, but it's how I learned it ! Sorry I can't be more fluent to satisfy Your insatiable hunger for grammatical correctness on the"You-tube forum",didn't know I would be graded !

  • This sounds like Octavarium combined with Train of Thought. Awesome. Especially the last part.

  • I hate retards with retarded opinions that add stuff like xD after they've just stated their shitty wrong opinion..

    For example "my fav albm awak dt wrong no more liek XD"

  • ahahah :) grande mike :)

  • rofl, gotta love Portnoy :D

    On second thought, OMG! DREAM THEATER IS RELEASING A NEW ALBUM! OMG!

  • never enough

  • whilst i disagree with what you say, i appreciate their music and even more so appreciate your use of "Rush" and "Far Cry."

    made me smile a bit :D

  • Because Nobody ever happens to write similar melodies and riffs. Ever.

  • Oh man, i love Muse, i doubt they will copy Muse again.

  • i am definately gonna buy this new album

  • as always, dream theater pwns at 846245345764253876x3 times that of normal pwnage

  • OH MY FUCKING GOD! can't wait a little.

  • mike portnoy said on the Eddie Trunk show that the album is goona have 4 "epics" and 2 "singles". so after hearing that im more pumped than i was before!!!

  • the very last song you hear sounds TOTALLY AWESOME DUDE.

  • good for you then...

  • at 0:24 that guitar line in the background sounds awesome

  • dude one of those shred sections sounds like petrucci is going to blow up his guitar he's going so fast haha

  • yup...i'm with nuncjusz1...

    the egyptian solos sound badass dude...how can you not like them...it's just i've been hearing him play a lot of those lately even in petrucci's solo album...

  • turn the key walk through the gate

    sounds awesome!

    i love the vocal melody right there. i'm hoping that the songs will be in standard tuning or 7 string, i hate down tuning my guitars lol

  • from the ethereal cover i was expecting another 'awake' but the teaser pretty much demolished my hopes

    i hope there's at least one song by john m

    or at least a bass solo

  • the last S.C. was a very good album, but he left no emotions to me like others album... he seems a "cold" album, with masterpiece sound, impressive virtuosism but can't explain no emotions listening...i hope this will be a very good album too and from new cover art i can see that my fist emotion is watching to her! :D hoping...

  • You´re right.....but listening to The Ministry of Lost Souls....makes me think about a great exception....

  • They have been getting heavier for a while now...

    Still sounds good, but fuck does almost every album before 2003 sound way better...still, were gonna get some good shit...but hopefully petrucci plays less of them "egyptian" solos haha...

  • What's wrong with "egyption" solos? I think phrygian dominant sounds amazing..

  • quick question, is phrygian dominant a mode of harmonic minor? the book i've got just says phrygian and then shows the alterations

  • yes it is.

  • It's the fifth mode of the harmonic minor

  • ok thanks, so are all of the modes dominant or just that one?

  • It is indeed great

    That descending lick at 24sec sounds alot like one of Malmsteens classic licks

  • i love the egyptian solos

    it's a big part of my style

  • YEA!!!!!...all i can say

  • this is gonna kick ass!

  • Well, what can I say... It all sounds like a total mess. I was hoping to hear more laid back melodic moments on the new album and what I hear is like a mix of the heaviest parts of latest Metallica album. I don't know who are they trying to attract with this sample, I'm not feeling "teased" after hearing it. I'm feeling... worried.

  • Make your words mine, I totally agree

  • it'll be good dude, this sample is a mix of a bunch of different parts and clips of the new songs.
