      Look inside.
      Reaching out
      Enter the water
      Life will reveal.
      Time will pass.
      Meh. Everything will be ok in the end probably.

      Yeah, the official videos for The Alien and for Awaken The Master have that "I tried" feeling by who did it, the video has no concept, it's not synched with the song, it's just a slide with some blueprint 3D models made in a fast way with simulations that are made automatic, it has no work into it. The songs yes, they are "just the next level of production", but the videos were uneccesary. The art cover for the album is great, Invisible Monster official video is good.

    Finding your way
    On a frozen path where the air is thin
    The angel of balance
    Keeps you alive
    A flower unfolds
    A heartbeat brings new meaning to the universe
    The angel of balance
    Keeps you strong
    Discovering what has been all along
    Spinning through life
    Lost in the spiral of time
    Turning the stone
    Circles of darkness and light
    Remember hereafter
    You made it to the top
    Just to find out
    You're only halfway there
    All along missing the point of the journey
    The will of the soul
    Like a peak so high
    You look inside to rise
    Searching out a dream
    Climbing, reaching further
    And the voices of the angels bring you closer
    Spinning through life
    Lost in the spiral of time
    Turning the stone
    Circles of darkness and light
    Remember hereafter
    Spinning through life
    Lost in the spiral of time
    Turning the stone
    Circles of darkness and light
    Spinning through
    We balance the heart and the mind
    Turning the stone
    Embracing the truth that we find
    Remember hereafter
    The end of a chapter
    Awaken the master

      It's mandatory that they at least upload every track as a video. They should've done it already since day 1. I think bands are beginning to realize that comments are important, since RUclips got rid of them in automatic uploads. Iron Maiden did that, and it's better than having your song uploaded on a random channel like it's happening right now.

    Insane track, probably my favorite.

It's like, the melody is going sort of tense and dark, but it ends up resolving upbeat and bright, man I love that aspect of the song so much, my god!

      The feeling you are getting starts from a pedal tone being played on the guitar and bass - the repetitive root note tells us where "home" is tonally but not what larger chords are being used. The keys and vocals build different chords and intervals OVER that pedal tone to shift through different feels. They move around b minor, b major, and some other chords to create the feelings you mentioned.

      Music, like all art; is subjective, but I understand your frustration because I share it. In my day to day life I pine to connect with those who share my musical interests, but often find myself disappointed when they are into what I describe as 'basic blues'. Blues undeniably plays a central role in the family tree of rock, metal and jazz; ergo prog as well, but blues in isolation is pretty unsatisfying to my ears. I love the mix and the variety of styles involved with DT. Yes, I realise modern DT is mostly prog-metal, but within that umbrella a lot of fun is to be had.

    Good god, this track is absolutely excellent. I've been going between this and Sleeping Giant a lot, since rn they're my two favourite tracks from the album (though I love all of it!), and boy this one has so much that I love about it. The eight string is what most people are talking about, but honestly, it's so much more than that to me. It's the excellent keyboards that take centre stage through the intro. It's the tight rhythm section giving a dramatic drive to the song. It's the amazing progressions and melodies that are utterly transcendental. It's the vocal performance and harmonies that add an extra mystique to the song. It's the insane solos that seamlessly implement the song's motifs. For me at least, this song is overflowing with amazing moments.
    And you know what? I loved Distance Over Time, and I loved self-titled, and I loved A Dramatic Turn Of Events, and I liked The Astonishing (albeit fractionally less). So I'm not gonna say "Mangini sounds better than ever" because he's sounded excellent to me since his debut. But the production on this album is continuing the trend with Distance Over Time in that it balances the instruments well, and elevates the music to new heights.
    I just adore this album so far.

    A heartbeat brings new meaning to the universe
    The angel of balance keeps you strong
    Discovering what has been all along
    Spinning through life, lost in the spiral of time
    Turning the stone, circles of darkness and light
    Remember hereafter

    You're only halfway there
    All along, missing the point of the journey
    The will of the soul like a peak so high
    You look inside to rise, searching out a dream
    Climbing, reaching further
    And the voices of the angels bring you closer
    Spinning through life, lost in the spiral of time
    Turning the stone, circles of darkness and light
    Remember hereafter
    Spinning through life, lost in the spiral of time
    Turning the stone, circles of darkness and light
    Spinning through life, we balance the heart and the mind

    My thoughts after the interview of Saturday: JP put the producer in front the guitar player, trying to make all the instruments well mixed.
    If you look at the past, JP spent a lot of time in 20 years studing his sound and eventually it got bigger and thicker (like his byceps) and already in LTE3 I remember Jordan telling when "the guitar player that has a sound wall bigger than my house, asks Can you hear the keyboard parts well...". I'd say that together with the Mix/new DTHQ/Production, the existence of parallel projects made this album have a soul, because JP and JR could switch mindset for this album, as if LTE3 was an escape valve for technicalities. Also the fact that James could mute the others in his studio and listen to his own ideas, made all verses and chorus very catchy this time. Awesome album!

    So after having been a long time DT fan, I was kind of scared after hearing they were releasing anything again. Awake was the last album I bought and hadn't really heard anything since Kevin left. Images and Words was actually the reason I started learning keyboards. I'm not real sure what happened there, I've heard rumors, but nothing that I know to be a fact. That said, I really like this. Labrie's voice is still amazing, very powerful, and the staple of the band. The music was slightly heavier than I usually like, however still very technical. I miss John, John, and Kevin's "dueling banjo" homages with keyboard, bass, and guitar solos proceeding one another, but it feels more like a team effort than I'm used to, which is a great thing. It feels like they get along better, and the lyrics didn't plant doubt about the future of the band, like Awake did. Can't wait to hear more. And again, especially knowing what happened to James, the vocals were absolutely amazing. It completely recaptured everything I loved about DT, from the divine musicianship to the strong vocal track.
