      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

      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.

      It's mandatory that they at least upload every track as a video. They should've done it already since day 1.

    Insane track, probably my favorite. The thing I love the most about it is how in the verses, the mood shifts seamlessly from dark and mysterious to bright and hopeful, I cannot even put my finger into it as I'm not versed in musical theory or anything like that, but does anyone else get what I'm talking about? 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!

      A lot of that happens in all the album really. Every song progresses seemlessly, every set of verse makes a progression that is noticeable but delicate at the same time. I dont know either how they pull those things off but a lot of care and thought has been poured in this piece of work, and its amazing.

      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.

    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 life, we balance the heart and the mind
    Turning the stone, embracing the truth that we find
    Remember hereafter

    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!
