But yeah, am I the only one who's getting tired of Portnoy singing?
I'll probably get flamed for this, but I honestly thought all of Petrucci's solos this time out were just incredibly boring. His lead lines (and those insane unisons) were as great as ever, but when everyone else backed off and I'm thinking, hey, here comes a solo from one of the greatest guitarists on Earth, all I was hearing was him screwing around on a Phrygian Dominant scale.
Yeah - it's a song about him basically getting ready to leave the band. Initially Portnoy wasn't really comfortable with including it because it's so different from the rest of Awake, and he's said since that had he known Moore would have left before the Awake tour, they'd have cut it. It's a good thing they didn't, it's easily my favorite Dream Theater composition.
Now, go buy "Dead Air..." If you want, you can stream the whole album (as well as all of Moore's catalogue he has exclusive rights to) from his website, chroma key
EDIT - it seems "Dead Air..." is out of print. :/
DT's lyrics have been horribly cheesy since Scenes from a Memory.
