#DreamTheater #TheAlien
They just won a Grammy for this track. Congrats to the guys for delivering time and time again! What a legacy!
The musicianship in this band is outstanding. Thank you for starting my day off right!
Masterpiece! Best band on the planet for sure! Greetings from Brazil! 🤘🏻🇧🇷
I’m so happy right now! My favorite band! I’ve listened to this song a dozen times already
Dream Theater never disappoints! This song, to me, harkens back to the material circa Images and Words. I can't wait for this album to be released.
I'm like "No longer do i have to hold any worries about the upcoming album!" I love every album, but a couple of them i wasn't sure about before the release. This one i have no doubt what so ever - a new classic coming!
They have disappointed me alot the last 10+ plus years, this song sounds great though, hope the rest is as good
I get more systematic chaos and train of thought vibes from this song
Great reaction and awesome tune. JP never lets you down. The way he goes off on this one kind of takes me back to that groove style solo in Under A Glass Moon.
Petruccis guitar tone...I my dear lord. This song is their best one in a very long time.
Yeah he sounds great, fantastic solo! and yes I think it's the best DT song I've heard in quite a while, Mangini is going nuts in this one as well
Everyone in this band is getting better year after year, except you know who. They kinda compensate his degrading abilities.
@@nicksm7980 who ? James LaBrie ?
@@tommi_marsetio, sure, who else?
Guitarist viruosity toward the end very high. Had heard the name Dream Theater several times but not listen. Thought this was going to be a little more peaceful, due to their name. I call this Progressive Metal.
the facial expressions DT songs produce are a true inticator of their greatness.
outstanding song as always, CANT wait for the rest of the album
I love how Johns solo came up, she clapped her hands and mouthed the word Petrucci
The mix tape looks perfect! You both look great too!! This is what eating clean does! And the music: divine. ✨🤪
Thanks for the great reaction. I wonder how they keep producing creative and beautiful music while still being them. I hope to see some day your reaction to DT's At Wit's End. I think it was the best piece from the last album, and surely will deepen Lex's love for Petrucci's magic. :)
Ótima musica, Dream Theater é simplesmente a melhor banda de todas!!!!!!
SWEET! Intense tune! Can't wait to hear the rest of this album! Dream Theater will be in Denver November 6th so get your tickets ASAP! Probably will go fast! Peace Nick & Lex!
Como no amar a Dream Theater si tiene absolutamente todo lo que mi alma necesita para vibrar con fuerza y pasión. Mi banda favorita hasta mi último dia de vida.
Gran reaccion como siempre amigos, saludos desde chile.
Está pasable la canción aún que le faltó más partes pegadisas en la voz, ni hablar tocará esperar al álbum en fin
Mangini in this song his a monster... Love him more and more! The song it one of the best new song they have reledes in Years imn my opinion....
This mix is so clear. Every instrument can be heard.
Nice surprise, you've never been more up to date ! I write these first lines, before listening to your reaction. I've listened to the song 3 times by now and I can't wait for your opinion. The facts: after 24 hrs the song had 330.000 clicks in youtube and more than 3000 comments going from superfantastic all the way to boring and selfcopying. So as you always say: Let's go ! I've watched you liking the first part of the song and write now before you talk. To be honest as a great DT fan, owner of all studio CDs, live CDs, DVDs, cover CDs, having ranked them always 1 spot higher than Rush, beeing for a long time my Nr 1, having seen them 17 times live, I try to love this song, it's good ... but: there is nothing really new, it's the essence of the last 20 years, different parts put together in a different sequence. One positive aspect is, that they finally let Mike Mangini drum what HE wants, and he is a great drummer, not as much fun live as MP but still one of the best. So I feel like I did with many of the last Rush albums, they don't play any bad song, but it's not as good as in their best times ! So now I'll listen, what you have to say. Oookaay, so you liked it very much, I'm glad for you ... and I have to correct myself. JP's solos are still great, I like it when it's melodic. I think you can enjoy it more since you haven't heard too much of their last albums. Now pick up your calendars and note: 22nd October release of the new DT record aaaand : Saturday 06.Nov. DT live in Denver, Paramount Theatre ! But I can't believe it says capacity 500 ? Just let us know ... and now enjoy listen to the song a 2nd, 3rd, 4th time :-)
Sounds solid as always..DT never ever disappoints..yeah DT forever..
You guys should do illumination theory live at the Boston opera house. They use a whole Symphony orchestra
Yes, this one please and please watch the video.
To me, DT never disappointing... especially the new album, highlight : this song.
Tears when I hear Petrucci play!
out of this world! this new stuff really sounds amazing!
Didnt know mangini had 8 arms
Jordan has always traded guitar licks with John. Jordan has sampled John playing individual notes. This album is a return to the classic sound.
Such a great reaction you guys!! Can’t wait for the album to come out on Oct 22. Going to see them in Atlanta in December. Counting the days!! 🎸🔥🤟
Thank you!!! Love u so muchh saludos from México my fav channel 😘😘👽👽
I hope the rest of the Album is as great?! What a breath of fresh air.
It is
Both of you do great commentary work LIKE YOU READ MY MIND!
Muuuuuy Bueno!!!!
Excelente como siempre.
Great song! I had no idea they had new music! As you said in this video , i too feel so much more connected to music than i have in a long time! I thank you for that and your channel.
Hey Guys,
This is awesome, DT is finally back and your reactions coulnd've been better. Especially Mangini sounds absolutly incredible and I enjoyed every bit of this release. Can't wait for the album to come out.
I really enjoy your reaction videos. It feels so good to see people listening to these gems of musical prowess for the first time and often just being overwhelmed. I love the emotions you go through, especially with the prog rock greats.
Looking behind you, i can see the album "the raven that refused to sing" and i'd love to see a some more reactions to Steven Wilson (or even Porcupine Tree). I'd suggest Luminol or smth else from Hand.Cannot.Erase (that album is an absolute Masterclass of music production, on par with the likes of dark side of the Moon).
Some more suggestions of Songs that are very close to my heart:
Genesis: Cinema show/Aisle of Plenty (when i heard it performed live by Steven Hackett, all 5k people in that theater had tears in their eyes) and the Lamia (this song is peak story telling and orchestral writing for Genesis, just the lyrics alone are absolutly gorgeous)
Yes: Heart of the Sunrise (arguably one of the most sick Bass carrys by Squire, ridiculous paradiddlediddle Subdivisions on drums and just pure yes brilliance) and Awaken (its basically written for an orchestra and has been performed by one called Todmobile featuring Jon Anderson himself, i highly reccomend a listen)
Some newer Bands and Songs i'd adore to see a reaction at some point including
Flower Kings (oof...where to start....): "The Big Puzzle" on the Album "Back in the World of Adventure"
Kaipa: (like flower Kings another swedish Band, they share the Bass player): "Screwed-Upness" on the Sattyg album
Magenta: (Fantastic british Prog Band with a stunning female Singer): "Gluttony" on the Album "Seven"
One more: Wobbler: (crazy medival sounding Prog Rock group) "The River" on the Album "Rites at Dawn"
Thanks again for the entertaining and wholesome content you guys produce.
Un saludo de chile, sudanerica reaccione igual q uds , dream theater dejo la vara muy alta , maestros de la musica , ocupan tonos inalcansables y precision , the besr of metal progresivo
Amazing song and amazing comments!
Noooooo! Don't STOP! (I know you have to. Don't worry) Wonderful to hear this creative tight energy back.
Love it. THX guys 🤘😊👍🎶⭐🦋🌿🍁
P.S. Your cassette L👀Ks great.
Guess what the rest of the songs in this record would be like😂
Even the first one was like 🤐
Can't wait for October 22 😁 for the record to be released 😭 been waiting for their new record for the past 2 years
Hi Guys! We have a whole new dt album waiting for your reaction!
The ultimate progressive rock as always from DT ❤️☝️ thanks for the reaction guys love it ❤️🇵🇹
Such a beautiful couple!
Still very dream theater!! I love this band it’s always a lot of music 🎶 they’re unique!!
Love DT....So glad you did a reaction to this Nick and Lex. Looking forward to seeing them in the UK!..Also, there's a new Big Big Train album, Common Ground, just come out (You did a reaction to London Plane a few months ago).
alta banda ¡¡¡ che¡¡ alto voltaje .. sigan asi
Epic!!! 🤘🏻🔥❤️
very good song!!
i didn't even know they were working on a new album, then this shows up. You can always count on them to put out music regularly, never more than 2-3 years between albums, which is good by today's standards.
Great shirt Nick! If there was ever a band to represent Earth in the event of an Alien invasion, to show that we ARE in fact worthy, and allowed to live.....it would be Dream Theater. 09:47 shows your genius in music...By your words...you know HOW to listen. You mentioned Myung... We saw Dt at UT Austin. He had to "tune" a couple of strings during the show...he hit his tuner on the pedal board with his foot. His left hand kept killing it, his right hand turned the keys on the head stock, while looking at the tuner on the floor. I totaly saw that happen.
You mix tape poster looks great. I love John's guitar tone, I try to get it with my gear because I can't afford what he uses. I love the production, it's like you're standing in the room with the band, no echo or reverb, in your face! 😁
Hi Nick and Lex. Thanks for reacting to my request. I also appreciate the shout out! 🤗 I'm hoping you can also react to Dream Theater's cover of Odyssey by Dixie Dregs and The Count of Tuscany.
That was great. Not the biggest DT fan but I really enjoyed this song particularly the guitar. My ear has a problem with the drumming, always seemed to forward in the music for me but this song I really did enjoy. Thanks.
La intro es una bomba y no comienza con acordes lentos melodicos . Temazo yeahh
great reaction! i'm still the reaction about Southern Empire! Cries for the lonely!
Badass song !
Loved your reaction. Alright get to look forward to a new Dream Theater album. Loved this song. Waiting for the haters to say that Nick had heard this song before because he was reacting to the beat of the music. (haha)
😂😂😂 that would have been fun on this one! Glad you enjoyed the song, too!
Incrível 🔥🤘🏼
Hola!! Veo que Lex al fin pudo resolver lo de los subtítulos ¡gracias! Ahora voy a enteder mejor sus videos en inglés👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 muy buen tema, bien power para arrancar el dia (en Argentina son las 11:38 de la mañana) ¡Saludos desde la patagonia!
Que pasa
Y’all need to watch at Wits End live so wonderfull keep up the good wk
Wonderful
Jordan Rudess is 64 years old. Key boardist. Born: November 4, 1956
All those songs you are going to do...I can't wait to see you react! Octavaruim. I will be in Denver going to the show Nov 4 I think! Hear this live!!
This song is an ode to progressive metal. The drum track is a masterpiece. PS: nice Rush t-shirt!... Clockwork Angels!!! |m|
love it...you guys really need to listen to the band "Glass Hammer" you will love them as well..keep em' comin'...all my best Kent.
2021 is looking better for music. But sadly, we didn’t get tickets for King Crimson. They just played last week in California. Because of concerns and my parents are ill, we haven’t been to a concert yet. 😔 But the set list looks amazing. N&L, Wait until you hear KC, I hope you will love them! ✨🤪
Hi Michele, I saw KC 3 years ago, and afterwards it was like : I'm not sure, if I liked it very much, my expectation was different than what I saw and heard. 3 drummers - nice, song selection - nice, action on stage - none expect for the drummers, Mr. Fripp seemed to be bored to play the same stuff every night and what I disliked most: the show was in a former movie theatre, nice seats, good sight everything's fine, but why does this music have to be so loud? .... it wasn't a metal concert and it would have been perfect 20 decible less ... so I enjoy now all their records until Red at home :-) even the live ones ...
@@rudolfbecker4313 Thanks, Rudy. That lessens the sting. Hey, whenever you want, give me a track at a time from that list. Just give me time. Some bands I had heard of ... but don’t know well, so all is good. ✨🤪
You guys HAVE to do Invisible Monster the second single on this album! I personally like it better than the Alien, and the solo is great
Wait… now that I relisten to it, I can’t choose a favorite. I think I like elements of both so much and they’re so different
It still blows my mind that Jordan Rudess was admitted to Julliard at nine years old
Dream Theater's new album is called A View from the top of the world and a view from the top of the world is a song and it's a 20 minute epic song at the end and I hope you 2 react to all the new Dream Theater songs on the new album when it's released on October 22 2021 I'm really excited to hear when's coming next from the new Dream Theater album
And obviously, the topic and the rythm évoque Watcher of the Skies, from Fox Trot.
Hey Lex,you said you ALMOST cried to Petrucci solo,please listen to Guthrie and Hackett solo on NAD SYLVAN'S 'WHAT HAVE YOU DONE' i think the tears will flow! Great reaction again guys,keep it going
Yeah keep on going with the emotional players, Maybe the best of times, hollow years live, especially the spirit carries on. Guthrie is a great Recommendation
You must watch video too, it's amazing!! One of the best videos I've ever seen!!
The slower section with the guitar melody reminds me strongly of Steve Hackett.
THIS.... IS.... DREAM... THEATER.... MUSICIANS.... THEY.... ARE .... ALIENS....
And James LaBrie is too as he said. Canadian alien.
Directed by James Cameron.
Very nice
This song is kind of like part 2 of Pale Blue Dot from Distance Over Time. You will love this album by Dream Theater as well. Owen Wilson does a little cameo on this album!! WOWWW!!😆😆
I KNEW I caught Lexi with tears welling-up :D!
DT has had GREAT keyboardists that do such _emotional_ pitch-bends; Kevin Moore, Derek Sherenian & Jordan Rudess. 3 of the best contemporary keyboardists out there (even though Moore is more into the piano now, and sampled/esoteric sounds on his solo recordings, along with his contributions on Fates Warning albums, and OSI). John Myung really shines on the Bass, which is the 1st thing I noticed when hearing the track for the 1st time last night on headphones. Mangini, Petrucci, and LaBrie are outstanding. This is a "single" that I'll actually listen to again and again.
But any song about "Aliens" or "Computers/Machines" is automatically cool in my book :p. Jordan Rudess apparently had a listening party (either yesterday or today which is available to watch), so it will be interesting to findout if its a concept album. Yeah the new cover (for the "single") is VERY cool, has a bit of that Hypnosis/Storm Thorgerson look to it. But its _probably_ "Hugh Syme" of Rush fame (art covers, since "Caress of Steel") :D.
- Note guys, please re-visit "Erototomania" with the "A Mind Beside Itself" Suite, in its entirety. Lex will have a fresh take on it :).
OH! Another SHOT for Holdsworth! :D
How did you think this was Portnoy? Seen this band more than 12 x. They get better and better ! They are so next next level !
I still enjoyed your reaction
“That’s Mike Portnoy, right?”
Careful, that wound is still tender for us DT fans 😫🤣
Ouch, sorry! 🥺😬
❤️- Lex
They just won the Grammy! Finallllllllllllly!
Omg 😱😱😱😱😱
@@NicknLex ua-cam.com/video/QziielUsiO4/v-deo.html
El Alien es Petrucci...increible como esta gente nunca decepciona y siguen vigentes decaca a decada.
Aguante Dream Theater, la mejor banda del planeta hace mucho tiempo.
Les recomiendo a la canción Suspension de Invisible (Spinetta) o Eiti Leda de Serú Girán y abrazo para los dos🤘💪😷
Dream Theater, Megadeth y Iron Maiden nunca decepcionan, no así cómo Metallica. 😂
Lead Singer sounds like Joe Jackson in parts during this song. Should I go see Dream Theatre in concert in November?
Only if you want to be amazed ;)
For all the Dream Theater fans out there, Elizabeth Zharoff of The Charismatic Voice did a great 2 hour interview with James LaBrie
Link to interview: ua-cam.com/video/pItFsa8gRQo/v-deo.html
🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Brutal Dream Theater! Cómo siempre esta banda nunca decepciona, al igual que Iron Maiden y Megadeth, no así cómo Metallica. 😂
Hace un año Dream Theater ganó por fin un grammy, más qué merecido. 🎉🎉
La banda (sólo yo) pide Miguel abuelo et nada, primeras 3 canciones del disco !! Gracias

This is their best track in 10 years or so
I would say this is ONE of the best songs in 10 Years BUT
I think Enemy Inside, Surrender to Reason, Breaking all Illusions, Pale Blue Dot ,Bridges in the Sky
Gift of Music and others are great songs in the last ten years !
I've been listening to DT since 1992 and I love the Mangini era
Oh my God!!! Train of Thought will melt your face off your skulls!!
... if you like the hardest DT there ever was ... I like it very much, but my Nr 1 albums are Awake and Scenes from a memory ... which is worth to be listened to in total (as 2112)
The heaviest that they been?!!! Listen to train of thoughts!!!!!
React to A change of seasons or illumination theory
No octavarium yet?? uhhh do it! Count of Tuscany is great too (i prefer the instrumental version, though)
I have, after Many listens am getting the story. Or different ways the story could be. A real thought provoker. Watch the official music video for more ideas to that end.
Kindly listen to "Pale Blue Dot" from Distance over time album.
Please the count of tuscany!!!
un saludo amigos , reaccionen a heavenly " victory"
Wits End if you haven’t seen it
Killer song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, great album
The Glass Prison is a must
Yes, let's throw a pebble into the Glass Prison ... if you been around long enough to catch this joke :-)
Pasado de vergas we!! ✌️😝
