“This was a riff that I brought into the sessions that I thought was interesting because it's in an odd time and phrased in a way that is hard to wrap your head around at first until you understand where the groove is. When I first presented it to the guys, their initial reaction was “how are you feeling that?” When the band enters after the opening riff it probably sounds a little ‘odd’ because the time signature is a bit unclear until the song gets going. If LTE ever had a ‘prog pop hit’ this would be it!”
-John Petrucci
“I remember the look of confusion on ALL our faces when JP started playing that opening riff! It’s was seemingly so straight ahead but with a bizarre rhythmic twist! Took a while to internalize that but then we all loved it! One of the great things about LTE is the fact that we just let ourselves loose and have FUN!”
-Jordan Rudess
“ ‘Beating The Odds’ is the 2nd song we wrote in the LTE3 sessions. I jokingly referred to it as “the feel-good song of the Pandemic” in the studio as it has a very upbeat happy feel to it...but also takes a few cool musical twists & turns ranging from the glorious melodic chorus & end vamp to the dark driving solo sections”
-Mike Portnoy
“Starts with an off-step riff, kind of like walking upstairs backward, but at the repeat you get it. Then it opens up into “anthem land.”. Later there are unison bass lines where both Jordan and John got flangy sounds that work well with the bass. Mike’s unstoppable energy is evident here, and we’ve got more fantastic J&J solos. At only five and a half minutes we start fading out… a short song by our standards. But we’re just getting warmed up.”
-Tony Levin

I am here to remind everyone that Tony Levin is almost 75 years old. Incredible.
And Jordan Rudess will turn 65 this year!
Tony really killed it 👏
Yeah! And he looks younger then me, and I am 45
Tony never ceases to amaze, my all time favorite ! So good ! New Dingwall bass by the way :)
Tony can outplay anybody 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I don't think people realize how legendary this is. I feel bad for those who only listen to mainstream music.
you are 100%right!
@@mikaelsuhonen4994 yeah
naa,people hear this,and enjoy,of course.hmmmm...
These guys make Metallica look like amateurs
I wound up here just through the youtube algorithm, what's the legendary part about it? /genuine
John Petrucci: "Hey guys, I think we've peaked. I can't see what more we can do to surprise and awe our fans."
Jordan Rudess: *Grows hair*
Me: 🤯
Lmfaoo
Yeah, that one definitely took me by surprise
LOL true... 100%... that surprised me too!
that just means his wizard powers are growing
He got a "COVID haircut"
Loving Mike's "Neil Peart 1" shirt💝
I saw that too and it put a lump in my throat, 🥺🥰
Nice way to homage him imo
It's a tank top but I digress.
actually the 3:40 minute is the riff of Tom sawyer hahahaha, so amazing
JP’s secret is that his arms are so huge now that they violate the laws of thermodynamics. They don’t experience entropy. They do not falter or decay or tire. When they perform this live, the song never fades out or stops. He just keeps shredding arpeggios and modulating keys until the entire audience is dead.
Its true. Truccis arm like Quagmires after he discovered internet porn
Hahahaahaha
@@medved3027 Sadly, not for me. My tone comes from getting beered
That is so gay
@@endisbandage7733 only you would know
...and they say that after the fade-out, John just kept soloing. Some say he's still playing that same solo to this very day.
He never stops soloing. People just mistake his pauses for different songs.
To this very day? 12 hours later, you mean?
@@manifestgtr have you ever played a 12 hour solo mate?
@@manifestgtr If you think this was recorded yesterday than I don't know what to say to you.
@@lovescarguitar This. He never stops soloing, it's just that sometimes the sound engineer mutes his guitar. And sometimes his wife takes it from him.
Oh Boy, this album will be FANTASTIC! 🥰
Pre-ordered it on day one. I would expect nothing less than fantastic. So far, beyond expectations
Prog é brabo Rudy🙌🏻
There was a time when Dream Theater made sense 🙁

Hi Fern !
Wow even my idol listen to my idols
@@rizkiramadhan5631 :O
@@stevesun3658 Steve!!
I'm pretty convinced this whole album is going to be insane now.
imagine having levvin as a grandpa and he tells u stories about lte and king crimson ahhh dreaming is good fellas
I love to watch Heisenberg playing bass in this series called Breaking Bass.
Amazing.... LOL
😂😂😂😂😂
That trailer solo by Petrucci at the very end made me cry. That was a clinic on how to play around a complex changing rhythm and come up with some arpeggiated phrases played with feel and emotion. Purely epic musicianship and more!
In the Presence of liquid sawyer times tension. :D awesome!
perfect haha!
Lol
totally
that solo at 03:02 is sooooooooo In the presence of enemy pt2 solo alike
haha, I love this comment.
This sounds more like old DT than LTE, but that's fine also!
3/4 members are old DT, what do you expect 😂
@@ryanmartin3890 lets say 2/4 (before Rudess was Sherinian)
@DylanG0125 YES.
This song alone is better than the last two DT albums combined. They lost their way. Long live Haken.
@@TastyPotty Stop it! All Portnoy projects since getting kicked out from A7F are mediocre at best. ROFL
That outro solo from John Petrucci is just divine!!!😊
4:25 till the end is just amazing.
1:30 The Ministry of Lost Souls
2:14 In The Presence of Enemies/Sacrificed Sons
4:29 The Ministry of Lost Souls/The Best of Times
up
up
up
Not exactly.
Wrong band lol
Uncle Tony with a Dingwall NG3 bass!! Amazing 🤩🤩🤩
Amazing bass. Nolly is amazing, and LTE is amazing 😎🤘
I wonder what it would sound like if Levin went full Darkglass and slapped a B7K on that or something. Still happy with his tone on the album so far, it's nothing extreme but it fits this four-piece mix very well.
And Mike rocking that Neil Peart shirt! Canadian influences abound! What a great day for Canada ... and therefore the world!!
I know rite, I am sad thats its not a stingray thats a signature sound for them tho
Fucking A, I love my Dingwall.
LTE just never disappoints
This time they did lol
@@peacekeeper3026 i kind of agree. the song has a different feel to passage of time but is pretty much the same. i love the song still but was still bummed
@@peacekeeper3026 no they didn't
@@jkorkea still it sounds just too familiar to consider it a newish song, the technical effort put in there is brilliant though
@@peacekeeper3026 classic "the song sounds too much like the old songs VS the song doesn't sound like the old ones at all" :DD
This songs has a huge mistake at the end. It ends.
With a fade out.
Heresy.
This isn't a joke but the truth!
Ending a beautiful solo with a fade out is a sin! I agree!
4:31 until end is like you reached the end of an epic adventure and it is now time to go home
This has "The Best of Times" vibe from BCSL album on that lead and I can see they are having just that!
I thought I was the only one noticed lol
3:40 Tom Sawyer is in the house ya'll 🤘😎
I heard hints of ITPOE at times
2:14 in the presence of enemies.
The ministry of lost souls 4:30
It's more old DT style than old LTE, and I love that.
Yeah if still John Petrucci and Jordan Rudes there is still sound like Dream Theater🤣.
@@mixmixture7049 Jordan was in LTE before he joined DT. Derek Sherinian was the keyboardist for DT when LTE was formed.
How does the universe not just explode when these 4 get together?
the ending is so much Ministry lost of souls 💙
Or "At wit's end"...
You mean Best of times
you mean despacito
Great stuff. Just think, these guys are in their 50's. 60's and 70's (you go Tony!). I guess old guys can still kick ass.
The ending melody is pure innocence. 4:30
now I'm not afraid of getting old
Sounds Straight off Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence...not complaining though. So glad LTE is back
yeah, nothing new.
One of the best albums, I aint complaining either!
One riff in the middle reminded me of in the presence of enemies pt 2
After all these years the unison parts the John and Jordan play together note for are still fricken amazing!
That outro is so classic. 🔥 👌 😍 The last minute-and-a-half is Petrucci in peak form. It's difficult to get better than that.
Also Tony Levin looks like he's having a blast and that makes me so happy lol
Who else is already waiting for not only LTE3, but also LTE 4? :) We need much more of this!!!!!!!!
That's exactly how I'm thinking. I hope they make this an ongoing thing.
They have a 2 album deal with InsideOut so there will be a fourth LTE album eventually! Hopefully before the end of the decade!
If it sounds like this, no thanks...
We got a John Petrucci solo album last year, getting LTE 3 next month. Now, I'm waiting for the first single and release date of DT 15, I guess that'll happen in May or June, they'll wanna keep some gap between these 2 releases just like they did between Terminal Velocity and LTE 3. Anyway, can't wait! The holiday spirit carries on was amazing and had a very lively production and sound stage similar to Black Clouds.
I’m actually waiting for LTE 10 already
Mike Portnoy says with his t-shirt "Neal Peart is #1"
What a first class guy
#Respect
I wish that the solo at the end never ended
Totally, just too good to end !
It never did... It just faded out... And kept going... Forever
Mike Portnoy has now become a Silver Fox level drummer! Very happy to see him with a Neil Peart shirt, honoring the Professor.
"Beating the odds"
*Starts with 7/8 odd signature
7/8
How do you guys learn about time signature? Ik the pattern but Idk if I have to answer the number
Ends in 4/4
@@muhammadaliffauzan2820 you just count 7 and see it fits.
@@dcairol Or count "1 - and - 2 - and - 3 - and - 4 - 1". Skip the last "and". Think of it as 4/4 but there's one eight note removed.
Perfect song
I wish it never faded out, what they are doing while the song is fading out is so awesome
5:45 and on... fu****ing Petrucci.... gotta love him!!!
At this point, John has enough beard to cover both Jordan and Tony's heads 🤣
Damn this album is going to be good.
The riffs and unison feels like "In the Presence of Enemies Pt. 1"
Yeah, probably we're getting another DT album...
Just noticed
@@omnissiah4434 we are! Petrucci and Rudess posted a photo captioned "the work continues" about a week or two ago. Probably for a DT album later this year. (They tend to release new albums every 2-3 years, and distance over time was in February of 2019, so we're about due!)
Part 2, actually.
Someone accidentally engaged the fade out on JP's solo. Other than that, amazing!
Exactly, i was definitely bummed when it started to fade, on the best part..
When you have four of the world’s best musicians compose stuff, you can never go wrong. This album is going to be insane.
As someone in a scientific field I was expecting an actual experiment but this was so much better! Really enjoyed listening.
This is like a mix between the best of times, in the presence of enemies part 2, and a hint of ministry of lost souls, these guys don’t miss!!!
SUPERLOVETHIS!!! Can’t wait to see more!!
Amazing guys...as if I expected anything less...thank you for finally coming together again...!!
It was indeed necessary...
Yes!!! Can't wait for the release! Thank you, guys!!!
So FREAKING GOOD! Cant live without your guys' music. Its what keeps me going!
Good finish for my Friday night...Thanks LTE...Thanks John for another amazing uplifting solo at the end
I like the way the bass is mixed in this one....can really hear Tony's beautiful playing. Very nice piece \m/
What a wonderful song !!! Brilliant job boys! Petrucci's solo at the end and this epic harmony is chilling !!!!
It keeps coming and coming and coming , shit....JP makes me cry again with his soloiing
I hold back from listening to this,as i want to listen to the whole album when it comes out.
But i heard Passage of time.And JP solos on that one did make me emotional,as only JP can.🙏
When other bands disappoints, We can always rely on the music quality of LTE
Portnoy is back
This is a really cool video!!!! Loving the album art alignment!!!
We really needed this !! Thank you
Can't wait for the full album
That melodic line on the guitar is hauntigly beautiful
So so good. Loved that middle part and the guitar solo. Rock on guys!!!
Such a positive vibe from this one. Really love your guy's music. It brings a smile to my face every time. Thank you!
Petrucci Is so God, he can change his t-shirt while playing a solo
that one has strong Ministry of Lost Souls vibe going on....at least at the end of the song. It's great!
Mind blowing! These guys play so well together!
Aren't we lucky, blessed or what.... this is sublime music ....
I have missed so much this sound the past years!!!
That outro solo!
Can't wait to listen to the album! It will be great!!
Booked yesterday and waiting for it ... thank you guys and have a fantastic weekend all of you here
On the next LTE album, Tony Levin will be 90 and killing it
Lmao! And the rest of the guys will be Tony’s current age! And killing it!
I wish the guys forever youth.
Neil Peart 1 forever 💙👏
Brutal! Love the melody of the song and the solos ... wow💪🏻
It's like a mixture of 2000's DT and LTE. :D 2:15 Sacrificed Sons and ITPOE riffing, and the outro also reminds a lot of The Ministry of Lost Souls. I'm really intrigued to what's coming next
His solos make me weep with emotion!
Way to persevere through the pandemic. Excellent playing and great video editing.
So much beauty in this song❤
Oh that Petrucci solo half way through is tasty! The guys are sounding good.
They intentionally wrote it on a major key, otherwise it would probably sound like the Systematic Chaos album 😂😁
Haven't yet pressed play, but I know I won't be disappointed
A very emotional chord sequence, light and soft, even gentle. Very talented
The world's best musicians playing my favourite genre (a proggy rockstrumentral with 7/8 time sig). Best thing about 2021 so far! ♫
3:02 - “what if someone said promise lies ahead” (The Great Debate)
Oh exactly! I heard that too, but couldn't put my finger on it!
Sounds pretty controversial man.
Yes! Scrolled down to see if someone caught it as well :)
@@TarksGauntlet turn to the light, my guy. Don’t be frightened of the shadows it creates.
@@TarksGauntlet this thread is wrapped in fierce debate!
The best part of this song was the instrumental.
Same. Always found LTE's vocals lacking.
I missed that part! Lol kidding aside, the whole song is a bliss!🤘🏻
: D !
When I woke up this morning, the first notification what I've received was from InsideOut and was about a new LTE song, so here I am, listening for the fourth time. Awesome, and crazy song.
Really looking forward to this release!
The wait is so long that even Jordan got hair now.
That fade out makes me sad :/ my dude was shredding
That's incredible!!!
The rest of the album is going to be so good, the passage of time and beating the odds are amazing and I just know the rest is going to hold up, really excited for this one
Badass Tony Levin and gang 🎸❤
LTE : When The Lockdown Ends world tour is gonna be wild
I just needed something like this.
Here comes the HIT SINGLE!!!!
Thanks for posting!!!
LTE music is where I really feel the punch in Petrucci's guitar work. Don't know why but with DT his tones are always suppressed.
I wish they would stop with all the flashy graphics. I just want to watch these guys jam!
Agreed, the effects just detract from the reason we're all here.
The boys are back in town!
Ha pasado mucho tiempo de cuando escuché esta agrupación por allá a fines de los 90's y sus dos primeros álbumes los disfruté mucho, estoy feliz de verlos de vuelta, me encantaría verlos acá en Chile.
I am so freaking excited that these guys are back together... I discovered them recently and have been sad ever since that they only ever put out two albums. I guess they're not done!!
I've only heard 2 songs but based off what I've heard this will be in my all time top 10 albums
Damn, that was really something! But it ended just when it got REALLY interesting. I hope that theme is brought up again in some other song!
You mean continuations like six degrees or like Overture and strange deja vu?
I must confess: I've loved Dream Theater and all kinds of prog for most of my life but never got into LTE, until quite recently! I am speechless, I have a lot to catch up!
Where you been at, foo?
I preordered the album yesterday. Boy i'm so excited.
I love the feel of this song.
Christian, you knocked it out of the park once again! I love the visuals, especially the poker chips!
