Love the new tune. Can't wait for the release.

There's great material on ALL of their releases but also some dreck (IMHO). I was glad to see the Portnoy influence almost completely vanish on his departure, almost as if they did this on purpose. REALLY glad to see his cookie monster vox gone. I truly enjoyed ADTOE and am hopeful for the...

Bump. Does anyone know if WOWOW archives their shows and if the CM performance can be viewed in its entirety? I've seen two separate videos now and the sound and band performance is stellar. Would love to see this released.

It really is....Their live DVD of material just prior to this latest release is also quite good.

Anyone know if the entire set is available on line? These guys NEED to do a DVD!

I just listened to the teasers on iTunes of Frequency Unknown. IMHO: Terrible production and the mix is not very good, musicianship is lacking, Tate struggling to sing heavy music and finally, the butchering of the old tunes he decided to re-record.

I don't know a lot about QR but did like a number of their tunes from the early days and all of Operation Mindcrime. I once saw a live concert on VH1 Classic which was very good and was never able to find out if it was ever released on a DVD but I'd certainly buy it if available. Again, from...

I liked the new tune, the mix was much better than how they typically sound. I think the keys and bass are finally evident and the drums may be a bit further back in the mix than where Portnoy usually was. I hear the usual DT riffage and arrangements that give them their overall sound and in...

Just checked a GMT calculator on line and for California, it would mean that 8:00 p.m. in the UK would be 1:00 p.m. here.

I agree with the prior observations that this song could have been released on earlier discs. Nothing really new here. As usual, great individual performances including Russell Allen but very familiar in the composition. I hope there will be more to consider when the rest of the material is...

Great new music but I can hear much of the same tendencies in their writing as the past two releases.

I would love to see and hear Priester in DT. He has been my first choice all along.

Saw that. Could that mean that they reconciled with Portnoy and expect everyone to be happy that he's returned? I would expect the band to want to continue without personnel changes if at all possible and that this would be the preferred outcome (in their view) by the fans. BUT.....given...

I believe their composition skills improved on V but I really like both albums.
