Well I know I've heard Panic Attack and These Walls and wel...it's not too hot. It's ctachy, but it's like...a big mix of Dream Theater, Linkin Park and some Metallica. The end is result is...welll, I just hope the other songs are better.

Dream Theater's new opus, Octavarium, is magnificent.  Fans who balked at ToT's metal roots may have indeed found the album they were looking for.  It seems as if they wanted to return to their Images and Words roots while keeping the virtuousic element they have developed over the past 15 years.  The title track is particularly outstanding; at over 20 minutes, I would say it gives A Change Of Seasons a run for its money.  With The Root Of All Evil continuing the Glass Prison saga in a nice, progressive manner, it's quite obvious that Dream Theater still have plenty of ideas left.  Definitely less metal than its predecessor, but still retaining a measure of heaviness and variety, this album is sure to please fans both old and new.  5/5 stars.

  And I haven't heard a single note!

 Great job mate You just wrote a review of the perfect Octavarium version.. Images & Words + A Change of Seasons That would be a really perfect album... Kevin come baaack!!!!!

Why don't we put all the hate aside and wait till the album comes out.
By the way DT haters and fanboys both have the brains the size of walnuts
