i have posted this for about 5 times and nobody ever wanted to answer me... don't u also have the impression that the jp riff of troa starting at 1:00 is very similar to the beginning of burning my soul? with the difference that bms is not as fast and played firstly as a jm bass line and then in power chords by jp...
please give me ur opinion on that!!!

a lot of the notes are different in that riff. but they have a similar 'feel' ish.

so, no.

Jesus... you people have too much fucking time on your hands. All I heard on the new album was far, far too much rehashing of riffs, melodies and phrasing. I for one, am sick of it. I don't care how "cool" some people think it is, it's tired, and dull now. DT obviously have the ability to write new shit, I just wish they would.

Call it "call back" or call TSD a "sequel" to TGP, that's fine, but for me, I'm sick of hearing the same little "nuggets" over and over again.

That said, I'm disappointed with this album. It's got it's moments, but on a whole, this would've fit perfectly after FII... and I hate FII.

<waits for the backlash>

Oh man, i totally agree.
however, i kinda noticed one day while looking at the liner notes of the album that the first two songs are parts 6 and 7 of the song octavarium. i think

I'm gonna shorten my point of view about this "rehashing" argument to two words: I dissagree.

moving on.

The Root of All Evil is not movements VI and VII of Octavarium, it's movements VI and VII of the AA saga (found on 6 Degrees in Glass Prison, and on ToT in This Dying Soul).

They obviously intended (or at least recognized) that this would happen though, because it fits so well with the theme of looping found throughout the album.

Has anyone mentioned that 8V is a spiral?

8:5 is along the series of ratios which approaches phi.

else has this --> Octavarium 9:45, it reminds me of "shores of Avalon, (Mullmuzzler)"

I'm reminded of Shores as well during this part.

Thats the first thing I thought of when I heard it.

Hey mesavox, just post it whenever you're ready man. No holding back from my side. This isnt really my thread, had the idea to make one mega post as well but like I said I'm musically retarded wouldnt recognize time signatures of a fart.

If ya need any help just ask.

On my copy of I&W, Pull Me Under just cuts off at the end. Is this a nugget?

Oh, and who's better, Kevin or Derek?

By the way...the piano exit of TRoAE and entrance on TALW with the birds chirping had hints of the beginning of Disappear from 6DOIT. Just my hearing, maybe?

TALW totally reminded me of Disappear because of that.

All the OV nuggets I found have already been posted so I wont repeat any.

BTW, this is not an OV nugget but has anyone noticed that SFAM ends how SDOIT begins (static) and how SDOIT ends TOT begins (that kind of long keybord note thingy).

Anyone remember what Mr Portnoy says on the Birthday video?

he says something like "this is the beginning of the end", what was he refering to?

"You're kidding me, right?

You're not kidding me?

Hi! I'm newbie in this forum, but after listening many times Octavarium I must say a couple of things.
The album is great, not awesome in my opinion, but finally this album has pushed me to appreciate DT more than ever, specially the epic Octavarium song.
I've been discovering some details about the influences of the album.
Maybe it's been already said, sorry it's not my intention to repeat it again, but has anyone notice the intro bassline in Panic Attack is really similar to the one played by Geddy Lee in his Driven song solo?

I have also noticed in the middle of the song Octavarium, there's a point where LaBrie sings, This is were we came in, or something like that. Man! this is taken from Pink Floyd's album the Wall!
I admire the huge quantity of references to other groups Octavarium has

U guys notice the sounds clips of the previous songs on Octavarium? Not sure if it was posted before,too lazy to check. Probably was.

Artwork section is now done. I'll have to do the other two sections later (not nearly as much work with them). The new thread will probably not be up until tomorrow as I want to coordinate this with faizoff since he started this thread and probably didn't forsee the mess it became.

Any ideas??

Someone should compile all the nuggets and post them in a new thread.
