Dream Theater - The Twelve Step Suite

Рет қаралды 372,808

Күн бұрын

Also known as the Alcoholics Anonymous Suite or the Twelve Step Saga is a collection of 5 ‪@dreamtheaterofficial‬ songs taken from albums Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence, Train of Thought, Octavarium, Systematic Chaos, and Black Clouds & Silver Linings. The Suite tells the story of a hero dealing with his alcohol addiction and going through the twelve-step program. The main writer of this saga was Mike Portnoy, Dream Theater's drummer and songwriter. I edited the songs together and made transitions between them that sounded good to me. I also prepared a fan-made cover art which you can download with the mp3 of the suite: drive.google.com/file/d/1tiyq...

Intro - 00:00
Part 1: The Glass Prison - 00:40
Step I: Reflection - 00:40
Step II: Restoration - 06:03
Step III: Revelation - 09:51

Step IX: Restitution - 38:24
Part 5: The Shattered Fortress - 43:12

Step XI: Receive - 48:30
Step XII: Responsible - 52:28

They really shoud release this as its own 'album' cause it's a perfect telling of someone dealing with addiction. Having the entire story combined like this on one CD would be amazing.

Something for the band to consider should they decide to remaster the entire catalog. I'm sure Portnoy and the band would work together with regards to reasonable royalties, as the "Suite" is really an incredible piece of art.

@goncalobaia1574 Жыл бұрын

he also had a kind of dynamic that Mangini simply does not have. Mangini is a beast in his own right, but for Dream Theater it is necessary that the drummer has a very very keen sense of dynamic, so that the music does not sound robotic. Portnoy distinguishes himself incredibly in this regard, which is why their albums untill around 2010 sounded really musical, despite being very complex and tricky in terms of time signatures and melody. It's exactly because of Portnoy's uniqueness. That and other things obviously

@TheJeremyrjones Жыл бұрын

in some respects, yes, you are right. Its kind of like a quartet who is singing a song, and you change out one of the singers with someone who is unique in their own way. I honestly think the biggest change in their sound came after Kevin Moore left. Kevin's playing was more ethereal than either Jordan or Derek. While, as others have said, MM fills the drummer role nicely, its not the same...signature...that we would have if Mike had stayed. i would hope that they would one day bring Portnoy back into the fold, I will enjoy the music that both sides make.

@Fixxer315 2 жыл бұрын

I was fortunate enough to see Mike Portnoy play this entire suite live at ProgPower USA in 2017. While it wasn't quite the same as seeing Dream Theater do those songs, it was still quite powerful as the backing ban (members of Haken) was still quite good.

I'm so glad somebody finally made a seamless version of the suite. This is my go-to way to listen to these songs, and honestly I wish DT had put more thought into the beginning and endings of these tracks knowing full well they were meant to be played one after the other. The artwork is really cool too. If I was to give a minor critique, it would be the abrupt transition from Dying Soul into Root. The ending section of Dying Soul is pretty relentless, but it ends with the exact same floor tom pattern and guitar chord that Root begins with. This offers an opportunity for a brief break in the intensity rather than jumping right into the next section. But I do realize the drum and guitar part of Root's opening is a considerably slower tempo than Dying Soul so stitching them together would probably be a challenge.

I never thought I would enjoy the whole suite. I felt songs were way too intense to be strung together. I thought it would be exhausting. Yet, here I am proven wrong! Though it is exhausting, it’s a good kind of exhausting. Like you’ve been trough some major challenge (such as overcoming addiction) and came out on top, tired but stronger than ever.

Great work my friend! Every transitions are seamless. Thats an amazing achievement! Props to you 🤘🏻. I’d like however to point out a tiny inconsistency most people won’t even hear, but which may be of interest to you. Ok, so, the pattern that actually starts This Dying Soul should be merged with the last bar of The Glass Prison. I have no idea how to clearly explain this with words but I’ll do my best. Fortunately, both TGP’s last bar and TDS’s first are in the same and easy time signature: 4/4. In TDS, the first hit you hear is not played on beat 1. It starts off on beat 2 and the pattern resolved on beat 1 of the second bar. Explained in words, the pattern is this: ~Bar 1~ Beat 1: 1/4 rest Beat 2: 1/8 note-1/8 note Beat 3: 1/8 rest, 1/8 note Beat 4: 1/8 note, 1/8 rest ~Bar 2~ Beat 1: Boom, the band gets going. Knowing this, listen to the end of TGP again, and pay special attention to what the guitar plays, both the rythm and the chords. Right, if you isolate the guitar, the last 2 bars of the song are exactly the same. Starting on beat 2 of the first bar, the guitar goes: 4/4 |…|1/4 rest, 1/8 1/8,-1/8 1/8, 1/4 |… |1 , 2 , 3 , 4 |1 Hope you managed to find some clarity in my message. Anyhow, great work!!! Peace.
