They're really more 'advanced tracks', right? I get tired of people saying 'well, their last single flopped!' or whatever. Maybe it could be a catchier/more effective hook, but it's definitely one, in my opinion. I don't know! The chorus has definitely been stuck in my head. I know those albums were very successful, and that's great but I think I could make one really good album by selecting songs from all 3. (most of the songs with horns) I don't skip any on Grand Illusion or Pieces of Eight.or Equinox. There are several songs on all 3 of those albums that I skip whenever I play them. Maybe I should rephrase that, I think The Mission will be more to my overall liking then the other albums I mentioned. Forget the fact that it landed 2 Top 10 Pop Single and 1 Top 10 Rock Single (RTP). Forget it is their second highest selling album of all time. Forget that its their only album to hit #1. The reason that they hate it? Its a DDY album through and through. You're just falling for the revision history that JY and Shaw are trying to put out there that says that PT is crap. Paradise Theater by most critics is right up there with Grand Illusion as their best album ever. Ha! You're insane, right? That just shows blatant bias. I willing to bet it will also be better then Cornerstone, Paradise Theater, and Kilroy. We'll see soon.Īrchetype wrote:Based off of what has been released so far, I'm almost ready to say that this album will be better than Cyclorama, which I enjoyed too.

I think it will fit into the album well based on the reviews I have read of the full album. I definitely see a turn toward the direction of Grand Illusion and Pieces of Eight. I agree on the hooks but I really like the retro feel to the song. And this has some shades of Man In the Wilderness in it, but neither the verse or the chorus is anywhere close to the catchiness of MITW. Like I said, i appreciate what they are trying to do.

Usually after listening to a song 8-10 times, I get it going through my head. The problem that I have with Radio Silence is wondering where are the hooks? The chorus is a repeating of one - two notes and their isn't a really compelling bridge to the chorus. In other words, I love Tommy back on acoustic guitar. On Radio Silence, I've listened to it 10-12 times now.

In all honesty, if they wanted to get airplay, they should align with a movie or a TV commercial (I know that is "selling out" but you have to do what you have to do).


Not sure if there is a more traditional ballad on the album that they could try to run up at Adult Contemporary, but even that is going to be a stretch. I'm not sure what their strategy is for airplay at this point, but neither of those songs really can find a home anywhere on current radio. Not sure, but most acts still release a single, ride it out and then release the next one. What do you think of Radio Silence? Do you like it? They are all releasing 2 or 3 songs before the album comes out. (This isn't 1978) Look at the new album by Roger Waters, Buckingham/McVie, Cheap Trick, or even Katy Perry. Shows that "Gone Gone Gone" flopped (big surprised) and now they are panicking to try to get airplay for something. You're kidding, right? They are releasing the second single much quicker than normal. S.O.Baron Von Bielski wrote:About time for the second single.
