SUPER-HANDSOME MOD EDIT: both songs on Youtube:

Rite Of Passage

A Nightmare To Remember

Nazca · 04-17-2009, 08:01 PM

I enjoyed Rite of Passage. I thought Nightmare to Remember was epic except for Portnoy's part. WTF was he thinking? Some nice 7 string action I think.

P.S. It's a Portuguese radio station.

TimSE · 04-17-2009, 08:07 PM

Sounding good but i wanna hear the whole thing as a grand works peice before i decide if i like it (which i know i will as i like everything DT do)

bulb · 04-17-2009, 08:21 PM

sounds like steven wilson on one of the earlier songs, does anyone know what that is?

That's one of the tracks from his Insurgentes album I think.

It's Harmony Korine from Insurgentes I think.

bulb · 04-17-2009, 08:28 PM

RTP - ALTA TENSÃO

Skip to around 14 mins.

I believe for the first clip straight after Rite of Passage, "Wither" was being played in the background behind the DJs voice annoyingly!

Colbear · 04-17-2009, 09:28 PM

Rite of Passage is good stuff. I haven't listened to DT in months and I can already tell this album is gonna get me hooked again

Awesome tone from JP too, I wonder if he's still using the Mark IV for this album.

Gilbucci · 04-17-2009, 09:33 PM

I really don't like 'A Rite of Passage' at all. It doesn't even sound like DT to me

Anthony · 04-17-2009, 10:49 PM

I really don't know what I'm listening to. 13:20 is DT?

EDIT: Okay, A Rite of Passage is boring as hell.

Shinto · 04-17-2009, 11:13 PM

13:20 sounds like Mastodon to me.

Is "A Rite of Passage" the song with the clean intro? If so, the first verse needs improvement: it's too bland.

EDIT: on the RTP radio, who plays the first song? Porcupine Tree? I love it!

wannabguitarist · 04-17-2009, 11:22 PM

That was awesome

Gilbucci · 04-17-2009, 11:32 PM

I am totally not looking forward to this anymore..I just listened to 'A Nightmare to Remember' and am still shaking my head. They don't even sound like DT anymore.

They sound like a really boring an uninspired metal band.

AySay · 04-17-2009, 11:37 PM

I heard rite of passage and was so disappointed

Hopefully it's just so stock metal sounding because its gonna be the single?
even the instrumental part/solo was so bad, except for the ron jarzombek syncopated part

Also, where is nightmare to remember?

My thoughts exactly, dude. I can't believe my ears.

@Aysay; it starts at 14:20 or so on the second link.

Stealthdjentstic · 04-17-2009, 11:51 PM

Maybe its a joke

The song from the second link doesn't sound like the song from the first link to me.

MFB · 04-18-2009, 12:13 AM

I enjoyed the Mastodon that played before it at least, but this isn't very good

Yeah that mastodon was good. But really, I hope this is just the DT "single" so its more "conventional" like forsaken from SC. The chorus is kinda catchy but it the whole song feels so... The riffs are so mediocre, stale, unforgettable, stock, etc.

liamh · 04-18-2009, 03:54 AM

Rite of passage has a great solo, I love that atonal speed picking!

Origins · 04-18-2009, 04:02 AM

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...

stuh84 · 04-18-2009, 08:30 AM

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.
