Man, Michael can hit those notes. The whole band is incredible - this song specifically reminds me of Images & Words era DT-esque prog metal, which was the era of DT that I really want back. I didn't know Michael could play guitar, actually. I actually spoke to him on Facebook briefly once. He's a really cool guy.
Dream Theater writes lyrics that need a very profound "processing", these are clearer for me, for us, the teenagers. Dream Theater is what brought me to Progressive Metal, and i would never betray it for Circus Maximus, neither viceversa. These bands just have different styles, each having it's thing.
great record!masterpiece..its like the sons of norum and tempest met with the sons of moore and portnoy and collaborated with a psycho bassist while listening all the time conception.this is what came to my mind after 100 times of listening the record...respect..
I agree and disagree with both top comments. Song is crazy, and I believe that Dream Theater and Circus Maximus should be used in the same sentence, both are amazing bands
from bands wiki: "Initially being a cover band, they got a lot of positive feedback for their interpretations of technically challenging material from bands like Dream Theater and Symphony X." I still love this band to death and get depressed every time I see videos like this online because they will never come to the states :(
Dream Theater doesn't have to take lessons from anyone, they influenced Circus Maximus not the other way around. CM doesn't belong in the same sentence as Dream Theater but they are a great band.
I would say that CM has its moments that could easily be compared to DT, though DT definitely has much more complex compositions, CM is very close behind.
DT may have influenced the sound only because of the musical style, but IMO, I prefer Circus Maximus. I certainly prefer CM's lyrics, like Danny apparently thinks too.
Entendo que o pessoal da europa não curte muito se mexer por causa do frio, mas em meio a um som maneiro desses ficar todo mundo parado, parece the walking dead
I respect your opinion, comrade, but i can not agree with it. I listened to most of DT's albums, and i did not see one better than Dramatic Turn of Events.
I don't think to admit that Circus is better today is betray Dream Theater. I'm a fan of both too, but Dream Theater keeps getting worse than they were on the "golden times".
Disagree. Dream Theater could get better if take "lessons" with these guys. Circus, today, is a better band in composition than Dream. Putting 80 minutes in a disc containing 7 tracks is a shame. It's like eating a pie stuffed with air.... It's big but empty. I hope Dream make shorter songs, technically good, but going direct to the point.
Great videos man! My favourite solo of the album! This band is awesome, can't get enough of their new album \m/ Wish they would come to Malta.
Gracias por subir este excelente video amigo mío, acá en el desierto de México esta banda tiene un fan mas, excelente grabación

Hope they recover, and make the next albums AT LEAST as good as the last one. Cheers!
At that point I have to agree. Dream Theater was making bad albums but in the last one it seems they recover what has lost and made a great record!
Now that Circus Maximus have two guitarists the question is: who's best, Eriksen or Haugen?

Fett! Filma du Burn After Reading? Flawless performance :)
ProgPower Europe: I will be there to kneel down for these guys. They're my heroes! Amen.

Hey do you have Namaste live? Thanks !!

epic
5:40 DAT RIFF !
that's what I call something superior, actually \,,/

You put Dream Theater and Circus Maximus in the same sentence. Twice.
her var jeg og :) er han som klapper nesten helt foran fra 07:07 - 07:50
Dream Theater better? Circus Maximus better? screw that! do a collaboration!

WTF? I thought they took part in USA prog festival....>:(
rett foran mike nesten :)
it usually sounds crap when a string or two is out of tune;)
The guitarist looks like Jesse Pinkman from this angle
Haha, hørt i publikum: "er dette et bra band eller?" :p
I respect your opinion, comrade, but i can not agree with it. I listened to most of DT's albums, and i did not see one better than Dramatic Turn of Events.
Yeah, but I agree with him about the lyrics. Dream Theater's lyrics are kind of stupid a lot of the time.
Haha, jeg lo godt
Hmmm the intro solo us out of tune... the guitar i mean
