I wish Dad could hear this. He told me about the song, the spirit carries on the night before he died. He was the biggest dream theater fan. Miss you Pop.
❤️
That song….in particular……dude…..
I had heard it more times that I could tell you…..then I saw it in concert on that tour and IT WRECKED ME….never knew why….never will. Sheer beauty….art.
Keep it and the memory of your father special forever, brother! 😢🙏❤️
saddened for your loss
He is enjoying this song from heaven.
Thank you all for your kind words, it means a lot.
People always saying: "They are back". Man, they NEVER left.
I hate that shit so much. 😆
Truth
True
Haha, Danny Ric reference 😃
Astonishing was bad album dt 13 was a poor album and their last one was terrible
Credits for the mixing. So good to hear Myungs bass without having to go into a state of meditation to single out the silent bass from the rest of the instruments as on previous albums.
Maiden is my all-time favs (and I really like Senjutsu) however its amazing how the mixing on the last two DT songs is 10x better than the production on Iron Maiden's new albums. Ironic given Maiden probably have a bigger recording budget as well.
@@Jacobin777 you can tell they sacrificed the sound for saving a few bucks, maiden it is
Well you can thank Andy Sneap for that! ;)
@@DeathBringer769 Yes. You are correct.
@@auswitch I wonder if its money or something else.
Love that on the new album we can clearly hear Myung and Mangini's cymbals.
Yeah definitely. Myung is such an amazing player.
2 powerful Ms Myung Man genie
Myung is so underrated
Yeah Myung is my favorite cymbal player
You can thank Andy Sneap for that!
I have been a fan of DT for 20 years. Now I realized that they have never disappointed me. Prog metal is still my favorite genre because of them!
Same for me for even 30 years.
Bohong ah
This will be a classic one ✨🤘🏼
ok

Dream Theater evermore. I'm 52 and can't remember not listening. Enjoyed seeing them live in Detroit. Now, retired in Alabama.
What a gift to Music, mostly to those who truly love Music and Play. Their Music is beyond what most bands do. Carry Onward You Legends!
♪♫♪♥♪♫♪ With Age A Fine Wine Gets Better and Better!
Most talented band in the world... Great song especially if you're dealing with anxiety..
strange, how it ads to mine...
I listen to this song during a bad trip and definitely calmed me down 😂
Or it made me more paranoid 🤣
Netreba riešiť text. Je to temnota. Ale ja to chápem v prvom rade ako dielo bez textu. Text si preložím neskôr. Zážitok tak či tak. Prvá je samotná energia čo nasa

Viete že všetci zomrieme?
Rodičia vám to nepovedali 😁 ???!
Discordo , existem bandas mais talentosas , Animals as Leaders, Gnarbot, Chon, Arch Echo , Plini , Special Providence, Icefish, Between the Buried and me
Everything is superb! Even James's voice is great and more colourful on lows this time!!!
Dream theater back at it again
Hell yeah 🤘🏾🤘🏾
SON IS THAT HEAVY METAL
No they’re not. This sounds like a “pull me under” + “the enemy inside “ from a dramatic turn of events album. But it is a good attempt of going back to it.
@@jpatete3016 It’s just a reference from Bread Boys’ videos
You have good taste, SON and/or FATHER
30 years of Dream Theater and I am still impressed of the music they produce.
Actually almost 40 years! They started in 1985, 36 years ago!
Same here. I have never been impressed like this though. since 2009 being DT fan, I never felt bored with their music. sure there are weak ones. But overall they're so great
@@MaimiZhang I like your name.
Awesome band. Been a fan since listening to Scenes From A Memory. Listen to them all the time.
@@Mr.77776 been listening since Images came out. Introduced myself to them at the time when I bought that CD.
There is something in their music that fills the soul.
Facts
😊🎉😊@@evanwalchak7762
The neoclassical vibe in this solo, awesome!
"Invisible monster, always felt but never seen
Unwelcome presence refusing to leave"
Finally, a song about my farts
😂😂😂😂😂
ripped a howitzer .5 seconds before reading this comment and i've never felt such a connection with a comment in my life
HAHAHAAHAHHAHAAHHAHHAAAHAHAAAHA
Clearly you have not met my wife's farts.
Lmao
Good thing about these 2 new songs is that James sings so much lower than he used to on previous records. I think his lower register is what he should stick to nowadays. Nice song!
I agree. I personally prefer LaBrie's high pitch like in Images and Words, but I also understand that it's not easy to maintain that as he gets older. To see him now singing older songs live is just both unbearable and saddening. He could do better with lower songs.
@@lunchbucket2494 yeah, and that's reasonable. I'm very happy to hear him sing in a range that he feels comfortable in... Hope this new tour will consist of more low-pitched songs like Dark Eternal Night for example..
Agree. James sounds much more natural in a lower register. I'm sure this will also alleviate voice strain in concert.
It's because the old style was ruining his vocals
Basically what Arjen did with Ayreon in 2004 on The Human Equation.
The last decade must have been torture for LaBrie’s vocal chords.
I'm loving the mix of this new album. They all sound great.
Andy Sneap handled the mixing and mastering of this album. He's one of the best!
@Eduardo Carbajal this mix sounds even more clearer than Distance over time in my opinion
Mangini's drums should have sounded this good on A Dramatic Turn Of Events!
I hope they release a remixed version of that album fixing it 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
vai esperar enterrado kkk
There's nothing to "fix" on that album.
@@147pablox i agree i think DTOE stands on its own it is still the best post portnow LP- 'Outcry' is probably my top 5 all time DT favorite songs
Actually I think they need to fix the horrible snare sound on the self titled album. It sounds like "splat" ...I can't enjoy the album! What do you think?
@@Gareththedrummer I respect dream theater as the masters they are on their instrument but I can only hear so much their music is a constant competition of virtuosity amongst themselves
4:24 I could listen to that harmonized parts for years on end. Gorgeous
The mix of 4/4 and 3/4 signature in the beginning makes the song so unique! The mix between 4/4 and 5/4 too!
I love the pre chorus hook "the serpent inside wrapping it's tail around my neck" so catchy
Back to 1992 form. It's been 20+ years coming. This song form is what I keep hoping to hear when I come back to Dream Theater, and it's finally back in _Invisible Monster._ James LaBrie is in top form here. This band lineup has also finally hit its stride. It's also the first time this incarnation of Dream Theater has sounded even remotely close to the first album's allure since maybe _A Change of Seasons._ This is easily one of Dream Theater's best songs since _Pull Me Under_ and _A Change of Seasons._ I'd definitely put it in Dream Theater's top 10 songs of all time. Excellent. Way to go, guys.
What an absolute gift to be alive in a time when I get to listen to Dream Theatre. Your music is therapy for my soul.. 🔥 ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥thank you for keeping on all this time.
Totally agree man ❤😊
After several months of listening to it, gotta say it's becoming MORE & MORE GORGEOUS to me. The full album setlist is solid and nothing is skippable.
Agree. I can never stop it before the end and it never feels too long. In fact I'm always surprised it's over already, it feels like 40 minutes max. It took some time to dive into, but this album simply has everything. A real treasure.
Hi Dream theater, I'm a music teacher and I play bass, I've been a fan of your works for 17 years and I'm even more a fan! Thank you DT
Beautiful! I just rewatched the drummer auditions. Mike, you're doing a great job, man!! ❤️🌹
I've been noticing a trend with some DT songs having maybe intentional.. maybe not intentional.. musical call backs to Scenes From a Memory, the last album had Barstool Warrior... that one had an intentional/maybe non-intentional call back to the song Finally Free from Scenes from a memory...
This new song Invisible monster also gives me Scenes from a memory vibe... good stuff!
Done intentionally according to them. I guess that's what you do when your creative juices are gone.
@@Northernwoodw meh.. theyre better than ever.. this album is the best of DT..
@@Northernwoodw Dude you've no fucking idea what you're talking about. All bands since the dawn of music refer themselves, their craft and others in their songs, specially progressive rock and metal bands. it's a nod that explains itself as to that all their albums are connected. Go listen to 12 Step Suite and don't come vomit your ignorant shit.
Dream Theater the bests of the world !
When dream theater has it's album highlights, it's tough to beat just world class in all departments.
I'm so glad they came to Jakarta, finally able to see them live. I love James Labrie, his voice is beautiful and charismatic. 😭😭😭
As soon as I get to a record store, I'm buying this album. This is my first time listening to it but I'm loving every second
James is takin good care of his voice. Stay safe, man! Amazing vocalist.
He’s not, his voice is just heavily post processed and tuned
Funny, I was just listening to this thinking, "Damn, his voice is 100% gone these days, even in the register he is comfortable in".
So fucking weak.
Clown
Nice sarcasm
@@jamesp7709 I think he voice has matured very nicely like a fine wine. At his age, he's not chasing power anymore. He definitely has to conserve more these days. I'm sure he'll have some nice belts on the title track ;)
Invisible Monster Lyrics 👇
When you face the creature
That waits beneath your bed
Will you stare into its eyes or look away?
Running toward the fire
Or fleeing from the flame
The choice to seek or hide is yours to make
The serpent inside
Wrapping its tail around my neck
I'm buried alive
Dying to take another breath
Invisible monster
Always felt but never seen
Unwelcome presence refusing to leave
Invisible monster
Hiding, never showing its face
Feeding on irrational fear
Thoughts race at a feverish pace
Soaring on a flight of ideas
Perched on its victim's shoulder
Whispering in its ear
Things that may never happen
Worries too much to bear
Invisible monster
Always felt but never seen
Unwelcome presence refusing to leave
Invisible monster
Invisible monster
Always felt but never seen
Unwelcome presence refusing to leave
Invisible monster
Beast that dwells inside my mind
Give up your hold let me take back control
Invisible monster
Invisible monster
Is this song about panic attacks, claustrophobia, or similar stuff?
Goated comment
@@micheladoronzo5506maybe anxiety?
*I'm reading a book right now. "Illusion" by Mieczysław Gorzka,*
*in which the author mentions your band*
*I wanted to listen and I like what I hear*
So excited! Can't wait to listen to the whole album - Dream Theater forever!
This is the most inspired song DT have engineered since Metropolis Pt.2, mind-blowing song out of a spectacular album!
Now THIS is what makes the Theater a wonderful Dream!
Dude!!! JP's solo was awesome! You can tell just how good John is..his phrasing and pre cognitive playing makes him who he is, Man, John P is still the best guitar player out there!
FANTASTIC TRACK!! And this sounds like a step back to their classic form. That's a GOOD THING! There's a lot to love here -- both new and old sounds that resonate well with this old fan. I love these guys!
Discovered DT with Image&Words back in the 90's. Still amazed by the creativity of this band! Always in a different world with each album! Thx for the music!
metropolis changed everything!
Images & Words was also where I discovered these guys. Still a fan to this day.
It is this masterpiece which I've been longing for! The reminds me of IMAGE AND WORDS.from JAPAN.
Going through the album for the second time, 7 super long songs, greatly arranged, composed and executed. By far the best they done in nearly 20 years since Train Of Through and Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence. A+++
Loving a Dream Theater song again after so long after seeing this! It has their classic feel. The solo is breathtaking and epic, vocal along with the total composition take me back to the 'Awake' days!!! A great song after all. 🤘👏🇧🇩
Crying right now. It just went straight to the heart. Such a beautiful song.
Maybe the best song from DT in recently years.
Wow! Awesome! Incredible how fresh and full of energy it all sounds! Makes me want to create music again!
This is the greatest song I've ever heard in my life and I'm not joking in the slightest.
16 years and so on... I'll never stop listen to Dream Theater 🤘🏻
29 years for me. Same.
30 years. Images was did it for me.
@@jakebob5101 Since When Dream and Day Unite - 32 :)
@@MrTsetso Same here mate and 42 live shows later :)
@@MrTsetso Heard it, but was kind of "hmm, interesting", then I heard Pull Me Under in '91 and said "HOLY CRAP", and re-listened to WDaDU and was "I GET IT, I TOTALLY GET IT"...so pretty close to you. Skipped a couple of them because "yea...no", but still ended up buying them to ensure the full catalog (including the bootlegs).
Extraordinary musicians, great people. James Labrie good at ballads. Jhon Petrucci great guitar jams, Jordan Rudess great keyboard solos, John Myung bass prowess
Dream Theater the best progressive Band In this world, they are legend🤘🤘
One of the best I think so. I'm also Dream Theater fan about 20 years ago. I like Porcupine Tree too, Pain of Salvation and other, but I was grew up with Genesis, ELP and same classic prog bands.
@@ivanyiattila3547 Tool?
@@sean8470 Overrated band.
@@Heatwave9000 overrated? nahh not sure about that I tell yah a band that reminds one of early 90's Dream Theater and that is Haken
Thank you guys for keeping the spirit of D/T fully alive and quite well!!!! I recently revisited the drummer tryouts and I’ve finally come to the place where I see it. I see how Mangini is thee perfect guy, drummer, partner, band mate, you name it. As a drummer, this was sooo hard to accept/adapt to. I use to think, “no way, no Portnoy, no D/T”. But not anymore. D/T was my biggest influence throughout the 90s. Then, I got busy. I got turned on to other genres and played in original bands throughout the 90s. I couldn’t keep up with y’all’s new records & so I put D/T on a shelf, kept away snug until the time would come for me to rehash y’all’s music and I ended up 20yrs later, falling back in love with you guys all over again. ♥️😎. AWAKE is my album. That album just has this special place in my heart that’ll always be there. When I listened to silent man for the first time in years, it hit me so hard. I cried so hard listening. Remembering every word to all these songs, as if it were on the back of my hand. You guys just blew me away, all over again. So thank you! Thank you for keeping things real, yet surreal. ❤
Thank you, the album is brilliant .. I am enchanted. One of the few bands in the world that does not disappoint. I love
I love the bass mixing in this album!!!
Wow this is amazing. You guys are some of the best composers in metal and just music in general. I am 15 so I am new to Dream Theater but I am loving it! I had read that you guys were founded at berklee music college, no wonder! Not just anybody can write AND play this well. 🤘🤘👏👏
Strap in young lad, I'm 36 and I was your age when I discovered Dream Theatre. That is how good they are, they have transcended generations. You have a wonderful ear if this is what your listening to at 15. I hope there's more kids like you.
@@ibleedoranbla thanks. I am hoping that too
@@thrashnicity5913 just checked your channel man and keep up the guitar that is awesome. I played for 5 years and just quit one day and then 10 years of my life passed me by in a blink of an eye. I picked the guitar back up a month ago. Keep on rocking.
@@ibleedoranbla that's great that you picked it back up. Thanks for the sub. Also is the guitar you have the custom James Hetfield ESP?
@@thrashnicity5913 no the guitar I have is an epiphone les Paul custom
Please make an entire album of neoclassical inspired songs like that bit at 4:24. It would be the greatest thing my ears have ever heard. \m/
agreeeeddd
there's a part kind of like it in erotomania I think
@@thebloodhammer2268 I know it's not exactly neoclassical, but in "Fall Into The Light" from the "Distance Over Time" album there's an instrumental interlude that sounds very medieval to me (kind of like Green Sleeves, you know). I like it a lot.
I was only 19 years old when first time i listened the song ANOTHER DAY. now that I'm already 44 and discover more of DT MUSIC. I'm now a big fan of this rock band ang still enjoying their music here in saudi arabia🤘🤘🤘
Let's give Jimmy T some love! The guy behind the engineering 👏👏👏
I was here when this was released, and I remain here today. Always been a fan, this is just amazing. Endless creativity.
Such an awesome video. I love this song. The album is produced and mixed one of the best ever, it's great to hear every layer, especially the bass and cymbals clearly.
I just love the way John plays his solos uniquely him and his smooth fast accurate and clean technique. 2022 this is indeed a great song. Dream Theater never fails to produce good music thanks to JP.
Hi guys! I listen Dream Theater music for 24 years and knowing for long time that behind every note and specialy word is much more than most people think. And behind this great song is our inner feelings and everything that keeps buggin us, the most important for each one of us how to deal with it. And for me Dream Theater is all about life, especialy how to deal with yourself.
You guys helped me, helping me and will help me a lot and I will be true fan for the rest of my life. Thx a lot for much more than music🎶
Depression has been my "invisible monster" for the last decade. This well summed up the war within I've been fighting to this day.
Rememer on the backs of angels... amazing song!
Love it, very catchy. which is the mission from a band. Well done fellas
So clean, the way you can differentiate everything .. Those solos ; ) .. Yeah, it's DT, that's a heartfelt track though..
good music , musicians on top , one of my favorite band and album.
The Great Song. This is the pure music. This is the one of my favourites now. Love you, guys!
This song made me feel that the band is rescuing a vein they seemed to have lost a decade ago after Portnoy left them. Feels kinda like "Black clouds and silver linings". Congrats, Dream Theater! Hope to watch another show of yours in Brazil, as soon as Covid pandemics is really gone.
First Dream Theater song I’ve heard. I’m really liking whay I’m hearing.
Boy you have some research ahead of you.
Welcome to DT fandom! Enjoy your journey down the rabbit hole. You’re in for a serious treat!
The line about fearing things that never actually happen: story of my life.
This album is so good. Labrie sounds the best he has in the past 5 albums.
I actually enjoy this track alot more now that I'm hearing it alongside the rest of the album, it fits well
Exactly my thoughts, when listening to the album in full I enjoy this song an incredible amount in comparison to a couple weeks back
Anyone else get sort of a PULL ME UNDER vibe from this song? Great, amazing song! This album has had 2 songs released and its got me so pumped for its full release!! Beautifully done by the best band in the world!
Had the same thought immediately after listening… and I like it 😆😆😆😆
Exactly 😂. Sounds so much familiar to pull me under
It will be the most DT album in years!!!
100 !!! Even the Intro.
Yes, I can feel the precence of Paul Meander.
That intro man, THATS SO EPICCCCC with the hard hit,
I love how the bass is louder than usual
I watched the guys play this song live last week in SLC, Utah. Incredible! I love the song and it was perfect live. To hear AND feel the song was so great. Love DT. Best band in the world.
beautiful song, beautiful John's solo, beautiful video
Still got it !!!! Hell yes bring on gen x days metal, always great
I'd love to see Erra, Dream theater, Tool and Opeth performing together
And Gojira
collab of the century
And OM
I have seen dream and Opeth together! They did toured.
@@DarksideOFcollages that’s awesome! You’re one lucky man.
Dream theater, I used to listen to you for 13 years now, I was a child once I heard your music and I got in love with it, I'm raised with that kind of music and my dream is to become a good pianist for a band like jordan rudess, can't wait until I go to one of your concerts!
Mangini had to bring back the cymbals down from Mt. Olympus so that we could grasp their majesty. Great Radio Friendly Song. Can't wait for the album.
Ngl I loved the cymbals in outer-space :P I'd love to play that kit (albeit with a 22" kick and not a 24")
They don’t need radio 👍 better being where they’re at right now
The sky high cymbals are actually more comfortable for Mangini. Not sure where they are now including the 4 cylinders and other stuff
What radio do you listen to? Lol
@@BenMichalowicz I love it too. I'm just poking fun at how they're not up there in the video (IMO it is just to get better shots of him Playing the drums from different angles).
Love this song❤❤
heard this at the wallingford concert a month or so ago, amazing!
tbh I'm dissapointed with this video because there's no Petrucci cooking session like Untethered Angel did :v
The guitar strings definitely feel grilled after he plays them!
@@bimonsolivar8898 it needs a cigarette
To cook a monster?
This song is the TOP 👍👍👍
the bass sounds really beautiful in this track, great lines by myung and great mixing
"So James, we got John Myung to lend some of his black shirts for you all to wear in the video."
"That's too much. I'd feel like I'm suffocating."
Man, i love this! Especially the part of the solo where Rudess comes in with the harpsichord. Never heard them do this before. To me it feels very fresh and revitalized. James also sounds great here
Corny lyrics. Boring song. Sounds forced. Never thought I'd turn off a DT song. Just did.
@@rabid_mongrel that's okay, lmao
Yeah, this is exactly what I was thinking. I loved that Malmsteenish part of solo and first time to hear something like this from DT. Wish to they do more. 👊🏻
@@rabid_mongrel When HAVEN'T Dream Theater lyrics sounded corny? Dunno how you could listen to the band and decide to draw the line here of all places.
@@wight2211 yet here you are. 😋
I personally prefer The alien, but this is a nice song. However, I have the feeling, also due to what DT usually do with singles anticipating the album, that both tracks will not be amongst the best in the album. Can't wait for the title track!
The title track better be good at its length, I'm expecting something along the lines of Illumination Theory, but if it isn't at least as good as ACOS, then I'll be let down, probably.
@@dcuch "as good as" one of the best prog tracks ever written. Low expectations? :D
Me too
Agree! This song is good, but i prefer The Alien. The vibes of The Alien is sooo LIT and addictive 🔥 but still, Invisible monster just kept on my queue 🙌🏻
The best comment ever
Fantastic, very good music!
This is giving me some great Metropolis Pt II vibes, but with an Octavarium edge.
Love it.
EL DISCO ES INCREÍBLEMENTE BUENO, CALIDAD A TODA PRUEBA, LARGA VIDA A DREAM THEATER. SALUDOS DESDE CHILE.

I always listen to the invisible monster every single day.
simply amazing
This is insane. Best of the best. Loving the new product. Keep it up guys. And like the video also. It really captures players in their best moments. And it's amazing how they nailed all the parts for the video shoot, especially Mike. It just shows material is well known and practiced to perfection. Thx again.
I love this, best stuff since Black Clouds & Silver Linings which is my favourite album of theirs.
Cheer The band Dream Theater!!!🧑🚒🤘🎶🎸❤🍷
I love it!!! They never fail to bring something new!!!
I do enjoy the new direction for what it's worth. I just miss the bluesy stuff from the awake era
John Petrucci is the man. Awesome guitarist and chief song writer. I listened to Best Of Times today and that guitar solo at the end of that song is unbelievable. I can't wait for the new album. 💯👈👍
This dude has his most plays from Petrucci solo, I do like his take on it. You know he wishes it were his music but only one JP. czcams.com/video/dztb6wqUVNg/video.html
Synyster Gates vibes!
Finally some respect for that solo.
Its joint my favourite solo with comfortably numb, I'm still working on perfecting it myself, such beautiful melodic sweeps.
@@WookieWarriorz Good luck replicating that solo. His tone is insane. That alone I think would be hard to do.
And the fact that the song is about his best friend’s (Portnoy’s) late father makes it that much more impactful. You can tell he really put his heart into that shit
Excellent music!
Love the MIDI style of mixing. Clear Bass and stuff
