Does anyone else think the section of Domination from 4:13 to 4:32 is one of the coolest things the band has written?

I love the simple dissonant chord that MJR plays, allowing Lepond and Pinnella to lay down the melody with that evil bass/piano line. I get such a creepy vibe from that section!
 
Yes it is a very well writen part. I have not stoped listening to this Album yet, every part is just top grade master work. I get that feeling, that this is what it must have felt like to listen to Beethoven when the music was freshly writen and conducted in the flesh. This music is a step beyound anything I have listened to in a very very, if ever, long time. Cheers guys, you have done it.
 
the reason i like this part so much is that if you ask anyone to pickout the best part of symphony X, they are likely to point at Russell or Michael, and yet this point, when Russell isnt singing and Michael is playing probably the simplest part on the whole album, is probably the most powerful part of the whole album.

lolz which Michael? ;) No, I get it, and I agree.
 
Romeo also does this ' dissonant chord ' thing in A Winter's Dream ( The Ascension ) but slower. It's at 1:13 - 1:29
Doesn't he also do it in Pharaoh at the beginning and after the bridge part ?
