I must admit it sounds fine to me,despite the low bitrate.
One thing you can say about DT is that their albums are always well-produced and well packaged.
Mick Portnoy is a top guy too.

Dream Theater are perfectionists ... I'm sure the recording quality will be as good as always (Live Scenes, Budokan).

It is a 64kbit WMA stream ... not exactly CD quality. It's a good compromise between bandwidth and quality though, considering that it's only for evaluation purposes. But of course there's the risk that some listeners might think that the production sucks.

I'm sure the official version will be much better. Mp3 teasers aren't known for their quality  .

I think that on I & W and Awake he just sang beyond his range, and for some reason it worked. But obviously he can't do that on stage every night. I guess it's not something he is to blame for, as he didn't write the vocal lines ...

I think I'll just grab it when it shows up online sometime soon. I'm expecting it to be fantastic, by the way.

You mean one hour, it's NOT the whole thing. It's less than half than the actual album, which is 3 dics around 3 hours long. Labrie sounded amazing! Some people just have different opinions than others. Every little thing about DT ever mentioned here has some sort of bashing involved with it. Even if it's just joking, it's not funny, just annoying and disrespectful.

I got through one song before I wanted to punch LaBrie in the face. What happened to you DT?  or more accurately, what happened to me that I can't listen to them anymore?

Should be good if it's anything like the show I saw (the one right before the Radio City Hall one, which this is a recording of). Includes full orchestra and performance of entire Six Degrees Disc 2!

Must be extra cranky this morning. Agreed, your "bashing" is all in good fun - as is that of your compatriot, although it's true that he has a nastier bite...and the bad habit of lumping Rush into the discussion!
