Message-ID: I personally don't think Petrucci sounds like Vai and it looks like he wasn't fasting before creating this album! The only link I see is the 7-string guitar. To the person who commented about cd problems: I'm having problems playing Awake on my cd player. I get "no disk" and when it does play there is a lot of noise. The weird thing is that it plays sometimes. I'm going to get a new one and see what happens. Has anyone else had problems with the disk?

In historical lyrics and poems, when somebody refers to death, they may be referring to sex. I believe it's in Carmina Burana, but it refers to someone dying, meaning that they reached an orgasm... It was a very common parallel in old poetry and epics....

One final question for the people who've now (I think) gotten the Japanese version of Awake: Can you please describe what the booklet looks like (not the cover art, more like what's in there - the lyrics, liner notes, pictores etc.) so that we'll know how it differs from the "original" booklet?

Eve is my favorite song. But Eve and SDV remind me of Kevin..... (I hope Kevin come back DT!) Well, Eve is lyrical. When I hear this song, I remember seeing very beautiful evening -- In the twilight, western sky dye colors. I thought sounds of Eve is a close resemblance I&W rather than Awake. Of course I'm pleased with Awake too. Thank you.

It seems that his CD player skips and does other weird things to CD's which have a lot of artwork on them. The thicker the "paint job," the more the player freaks out. His CD player gets pretty warm after it's been on for awhile, so the theory is that the paint silkscreened on the disc is expanding and causing it to warp ever so slightly, but enough to create tracking problems. This might explain some peoples' problems. Or not.

Here: I don't think that samples in >general are bad, and I usually enjoy them -- as long as they add to the >song. In SDV, especially, that "180 degrees in Houston" just seems so >irrelevant, it doesn't add anything. I agree pretty much. If a sample is the right length, the right tone, etc, essentially if it fits into the song seamlessly (no example being better than the clip from _Cinema Paradiso_ in "Take the Time") it adds a lot to the total quality. If it is forced into place, if it is repeated, if it otherwise disrupts the natural flow of the song, it should not be there. In _Awake_, I think samples are definitely overused. I disagree about "Space Dye Vest" -- I believe it makes the best use of samples. In "6:00" I think the clips detract from the musicality of the song. - + - + - >I've heard a few people mentioning getting guitar picks and postcards with >their copy of Awake.

In all the cds released in my area (mid Wisconsin), there was a reply card asking for various information from DT listeners (how long have you liked the band, did you buy Images and Words, did you buy the Live in Tokyo video, etc.). The picture on back of the card was the same as the small photo of the band in the liner. - + - + - >If anyone decides to stick around after the shows to say "hi", tell Mike I'll >be seeing him when they play LA in December, as usual. ;) What do you think the odds are that fans will be able to stay afterwards and meet the guys in the band?

I don't think there are many bands out there that would dare do things like that. Dream Theater uses bits of music that could be devoleped into full pieces, and instead they play them for 20 seconds in an 8 minute song. The fact that they are CREATIVE enough not to fear running out of ideas . . . it's impressive. Heck, listen to Metropolis again. - + - + - > I have a tendency to walk around alot (to store, around > campus, etc.) with my Walkman on.....you don't know how difficult > it becomes when you are listening to DT on your damn Walkman and you > find yourself trying to walk to the beat of some of the songs....and > this is all an involuntary reaction...I could just be walking along > and BOOM!

I've got the AWAKE Japanese edition and it features the members' message for Japanese fans. I'll quote it just for your interests. John Petrucci: Being prepared was a key element that contributed to the successful recording of AWAKE. Unlike our previous studio releases, this one had the benefit of hundreds of live performances shaping sounds and developing new ideas for equipment and instrumentation. This, coupled with a trusting relationship with our producers, resulted in a truer expression of creative vision. We are very pleased with this recording and excited about playing it live. James LaBrie: I had a great time recording, and working with John and Duane was a pleasure because not only do they get amazing sounds, but they truly understand the music. John Myung: With the recording of this album, sonically I think we've all made individual improvements. Each of us has a distinct sound, you can hear each instrument by itself and also hear how they all work together. Mike Portnoy: Upon finishing the never-ending world tour for I & W , the five of us found ourselves bursting with creative excitement ready to explode. The shrapnel of these ideas is what you are now listening to. I feel that AWAKE is our most diverse and complete work to date, and I hope it is as enjoyable for you to listen to as it was for us to create. Kevin Moore: I had fun experimenting with keyboard sounds with John & Duane. I'm very happy with the raw quality we came up with. Well, that's all of their messages. It seems that Kevin was not much into this album from his words, don't you think? BTW, Eve is great.... It always makes me wanna cry. Something beautiful touches to my mind. Of course, the rest of AWAKE is very good music, I think.

I hear the whole chorus, even the alternate verse at the end of the song. The "Re-moved from the wo-rld" is sort of silent in the first syllable and the last one. It is an interesting interpretation, but I still see it as far fetched. Also, how could a 'baby' have so many problems (ie: entangled in the reality of life or barely making the ends come together in a manageable way.)?? Oh, to the guy who has the quote from CIaW in his sig... Michael Burstin I believe it is. Are you misquoting the original lyrics, or is there a line in the middle of the song that says, "Numb from the world". I think it says that sometimes, but am just wondering if I am hearing things or not. The lyrics printed in the CD cover never mention the phrase, "Numb from the world", but THAT really seems to be what is slipped in the middle chorus. Is is just me...or what?!
