thumbs up if you shat your pants the first time you heard the riff at 1:06

[TheStructuralDoctor]

I bet this is what the pope listens to.

I'm fairly new to dream theater and started with systematic chaos.

i agree the, riff is ridiculously good, most of them are!!. \m/

[devouredmartyr]

This song's riff is unreal. This album is unreal. Older fans who went ape shit over the new album make me laugh. And the newbie fans who got into DT with the newest album really have no idea what they have in store for them if they go back a little farther...

@WhynotMiha I think we have a misunderstanding, mate. I don't think I ever mentioned the harmonic minor scale, only the subjective eastern/arab/egyptian feel of the main riff. You are entirely correct in saying that the scale itself does not possess that quality, but it's not what I said.

[WhynotMiha]

@gogerychwyrndrobwll Not completely. Listen to Rachmaninoff's op. 23 no. 5 prelude. In there is a transition consisting of notes from harmonic g minor scale. The scale itself can sound arab, I admit, but I wouldn't say that a composition/song is affected by that alone.

[gogerychwyrndrobwll]

@WhynotMiha Bullshit and you know it.

[WhynotMiha]

@gogerychwyrndrobwll Based on your opinion, I could call every composition containing harmonic minor scales arab.

Labrie kills on this one. Terrific singing.

un pezzo allucinante.....troppo bello

[chaveznieves]

@patrickdelehanty nah bro. its really just about general religious extremism. it pulls examples from several religions (islam included) but its about more than just islam

[patrickdelehanty]

@chaveznieves I believe, considering this is 2 years after 9/11, that it is about extremist in Islam. Petrucci grew up on long island, so I think he wrote these lyrics considering that. He did write all of the lyrics.
