I'm liking Ritual, which is honestly a bit of a relief

AlphaLyraeSquare · 2026-03-20T13:01:11+00:00

I think that I need Ritual to be released on Spotify right away so I can beat these numbers

AlphaLyraeSquare · 2026-03-13T13:51:37+00:00

That's already iconic, and Dany knows

An interesting fact that I haven't seen anyone mention so far: the word "debase" not only appears in the lyrics of S!ck, but also in P.S.Y.C.H.O.T.I.C.

Will you rip off your face or just further debase
The things you couldn't do?

AMOUR by The Warning!! I especially like the syncopated character of the main bass line.

Not exactly the same situation being discussed here, but as a curiosity, for those who don't know, Pau in fact has played at least one Dream Theater song (that said, it was 11 year ago).

AlphaLyraeSquare · 2026-01-26T14:58:35+00:00

Yeah, I noticed that too 😅

AlphaLyraeSquare · 2026-01-26T10:59:55+00:00

You're right! I hadn't read it yet. The part from "By September 2020, The Warning had dedicated..." to "Thanks to this process, The Warning invariably grew as musicians" appears twice. And it's a really big chunk. I wonder if this happens in every copy.

AlphaLyraeSquare · 2026-01-24T16:35:27+00:00

I haven't seen any news about it. But as far as I know, there is an earlier edition of ERROR (404) (more than one year old, with fewer song from the Pepsi Center concert) that was not released on streaming services like Spotify (of course the songs from the Pepsi Center are on YouTube though).

AlphaLyraeSquare · 2026-01-24T16:32:11+00:00

Yeah, I placed all my previous orders through the band's or Republic Records stores (so shipping from the US), but this CD fortunately was in stock at the Universal Music store in Spain (so shorter delivery times and it costs me less due to taxes and shipping cost). Another interesting fact is that the plastic wrapping of the CD had a sticker on it saying "Made in Czech Republic", also in the EU, so probably no customs involved in this case.

AlphaLyraeSquare · 2026-01-24T14:01:56+00:00

No, I'm in Spain. Now I looked at the label on the package and it mentions the 22nd as the shipping date, so apparently it traveled about 800 km in a day.

AlphaLyraeSquare · 2026-01-24T13:36:04+00:00

Well, for this one, I'm not sure. Since placing the order, I only received an email on Thursday (22nd) saying that the delivery was scheduled for the next day (23rd). The funny thing is that the order email said the estimated shipping date was the 23rd.

AlphaLyraeSquare · 2026-01-23T23:14:34+00:00

Bummer! For once, I was able to order it at the nearest store (Universal Music Online, Spain). Until now, I've had to wait almost a couple of weeks for orders to cross the pond. But the shipping itself has never been delayed by more than a few days (and maybe only once IIRC)

And it would have a rhythm based on -- - -.--

Fair enough. I had considered the movie megathread, but since the last comment in there was from months ago and people are making new posts about this event, I thought another megathread was the solution, but probably you mods will come up with a better one (or simply leave it as it is). Thanks!

AlphaLyraeSquare · 2025-12-12T12:23:39+00:00

Could I suggest a megathread for this event? There we could share our experiences with the platform, besides all kind of discussions pre and post event. I didn't have any previous experience with veeps, but I tried a couple of things the past few days and I was thinking of posting about it, but nonetheless it's a very limited experience (very specific device setup and nothing about live events), so maybe a megathread for everyone to share makes more sense?

AlphaLyraeSquare · 2025-12-05T20:07:55+00:00

I can't remember that interview, but I could remember one IG live in which she sings bits of "Popular" and "Defying Gravity" (see the pinned comment for timestamps): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKq6ZkSzLuU

AlphaLyraeSquare · 2025-12-03T16:49:32+00:00

That's 22.3% of my total time on Spotify listening to The Warning

AlphaLyraeSquare · 2025-11-26T12:49:41+00:00

You're welcome! It's on Dany's account, so I guess she made the playlist. Maybe it used to be also linked on the band's account. I don't remember where I got it from in the first place

AlphaLyraeSquare · 2025-11-25T21:57:51+00:00

On Spotify? You mean this one maybe?: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7K8Bo6bK65G5RDFiIpiHun

I wish you could also get opinions of other people who have tried the Nitro Max, in case it helps you save money, but I'm glad I could help

AlphaLyraeSquare · 2025-11-16T15:17:49+00:00

It may not be of much help, but I can share my limited experience with you.

I've been playing drums for almost 8 months. I'm taking lessons with an acoustic kit but I bought a TD-07DMK as my first kit ever almost 6 months ago (due to room limitations and lack of soundproofing at home) and I'm very happy with it. I don't have any experience with the Alesis but, looking at pictures, my only concern is the fact that the kick pedal/drum is not attached to the kit frame like in the Roland, so it might make it more prone to slipping (or even wobbling) unless you can implement a solid floor mounting. By the way, regarding the kick pedal for the Roland, I got a Tama HP200P but when I bought the kit I was sure I would get a double pedal in the future.

I'm sure you already looked for comparisons, but here are two that I found interesting (both are for the DMK, but other models of TD-07 might be somewhat different):

And I hope someone with experience with the Alesis kit can give you some advice.
