Ah right, well the one I have has 7 tracks. Only the last song is missing. I think the leak is probably a demo sent to the record company mid recording. That's pretty commonplace if they want to know how the album is going down...particularly with a band that has total creative control...

Hmmm. Are you sure? *SPOILERS* There are lots of DT nuggets - eg short riffs from metropolis and the mirror in 'constant motion'. Also the panic attack riff is played on piano alot in the first song - and that's a song written after the songwriting competition. Plus riffs that sound alot like...

Yo, I haven't been to this board in a long time. I was just browsing here cause I thought there may some discussion about the album (dreamtheaterforums.com and mikeportnoy.com are very heavily moderated concerning leaks etc). I just thought I'd let you know that a studio demo of the album has...

Ummm...I would've gone to see that ANY day. Bradford is only about an hour from me aswell :( How the fuck did I not know about this?

How about not, seeing as DT is one of the best bands of all time and LTE is fairly sucky with the exception of a few songs.

Probably debussy because I just think he was an amazing pioneer in bizarre tonalities and their functional, musically tasteful employment. His piano pieces are like wandering into some fucked up dream, they are awesome.

^Wow that sounds really cool.

This is my least favourite EG album. I mean, in my opinion it is the first of their albums with filler songs, and some of the lyrics on these songs are pretty bad. However, I wouldn't call it a bad album. It has a few really good songs on. Closure, til dagmar, I should, lost, unbreakable, and...

^Yeah exactly. Does Rikard play watching the skies note perfect or change it? I didn't have the good fortune to see that song live. I think Rikard is pretty much my favourite member; on all the behind the scenes stuff on the DVD he seems like a super cool guy. His piano work is great as well...

First an uninteresting question: Why does this board see so little activity? Evergrey are pretty popular in the power/prog scene and it always has more people viewing than some other boards, but nobody seems to post much or make new threads. I don't know, maybe I just don't come in here enough...

Everyone needs to read RobbM's post. Not only does it suck musically, but IT DOESN'T QUALIFY AS FAST. It's totally sloppy shit. Same thing with Farreri, except nobody seems to have realised that yet despite those videos being around for ages.

^Yeah, angelo is quicker, and cleaner, and you can actually hear the picking.

Highly compressed, no note definition. He may aswell be playing legato. Also, it sounds alot faster than it is because the notes are so compressed and blurred together. If you look at how fast his hand is switching between strings, and the fact that he is mostly playing 3 or 4 notes a string...

^Nope. All you've said there is 'it is' without any actual reason. What do you mean 'it depends on the key'? I've already explained that they are the same thing and that C sharp is just the correct terminology. And about modes, it's the same fucking thing. Why should they be different? We are...

DT writes extremely lame political songs, and not very many of them.
