Where did you find A rite of passage?
´cause to me there is only A nightmare to Remember on this radio link..
Edit : Oh find it, but it´s more about 16:00
Except for the chorus, the song is...hmh...

Just listened to A Rite Of Passage....this is one of the most boring things I've heard DT do, there is absolutely NOTHING special about it.
They may have helped create the prog metal cliche, but they seem to have took it upon themselves to write to it now too

I just got done hearing both tracks, and I'm in utter disbelief how bad it was. I actually did a facepalm during Rudess' keyboard soloing in "Nightmare To Remember". Can somebody please give him the memo that his lead patches sound like shit? With all the amount of gear he uses. You'd think he'd be able to come up with a better sounding patch than that?
This band has definitely plateaued in the songwriting dept. They're in dire need of a creative injection. And as long as Portnoy thinks he can produce the band by himself. I don't see anything new or groundbreaking sounding from these guys again.
Well at least I've been a local fan since the WDADU days. So I'm now considering myself fortunate to have been around when I&W and Awake were released. And also to have seen the KevMo and Sherinian lineups. Because this doesn't sound anywhere as good as the material they were putting out back then. Not even remotely close.

Ok, so I've heard Rite of Passage. Where is Nightmare to Remember? There's something playing under the dude talking on the Rite of Passage clip but I presume there's another link I've missed?
Oh and FWIW, I'm a huge DT fan but I am not impressed so far. The Rite of Passage chorus is pretty nice but the rest seemed so bland.

ouh...
This is better than Systematic though! You have to realise that they'll never be able to even come close to I&W again... Which is a shame...
But this was not as dissapointing as Systematic Chaos!

Not sure what to make of the songs after first listen, A Rite of Passage was the stronger of the two tracks though. Both are kinda dissapointing to be honest. I'll guess i'll give them a chance to grow on me...
There is two links in the thread bro
Well, after listening few times the tracks.. I´m disappointed.
Why? Not because the songs are not good (ok maybe a bit, The Rite of Passage is just boring as hell..), but because it´s not what you can expect from such band.
I mean, they have the skills to make any music they want,
they have the fame, which prevent them to loose any money if they decide to be unpredictable in their music.
But no, they prefer to keep playing the same kind of rock/metal riffs without even any point anymore.. Jordan Rudess is a so talented musician that his skills became his weakness. I´ve always been amazed by this guy playing, but for me it will never be as enjoyable as Kevin Moore, that´s fore sure
They should try something new, but they prefer to do what the "fans" are waiting for.. An other Dream Theater album, nothing more.
Anyway, still waiting for the following..might be better than I think

Well I love both tracks.....
Ok my retardation is really bad today......how did you fast forward with that link. I dont get a little progress thing that allows you to fast forward or rewind.

That's me being a tard sorry. I thought because they had the same intro, it was just the same show
Will listen to the other track now...
EDIT: I just got through Nightmare to Remember and enjoyed it. The keyboard solo was awful and Portnoy's vocals? Hmm... But the rest I mostly liked - the middle section especially. I really liked the chorus melody too. Can't wait to hear the rest of the tracks.
A Rite Of Passage was good, but not great.
A Nightmare to Remember I thought was better, but still not so good... on the first listen. I loved it a lot on the 2'nd listen. I'll just probably give AROP another shot just to be fair, and stop listening to leaks until I buy the album.

Note to Mr. Rudess... this ain't LTE! If you want to experiment, go else where. Sadly his solo in A Nightmare To Remember pretty much ruins that song for me, and that song wasn't at all too impressive to begin with...

Wow, those were awful.

If you think progressive metal bands shouldn't be 'experimenting', you're clinically weird.
Where, specifically, is "Nightmare to Remember" on those broadcasts? I listened to them both and couldn't find it--unless I just didn't recognize it as DT.
"A Rite of Passage" isn't bad, IMHO. Nothing earth-shaking, but I like it.
