Octavarium analysis.

[Antonio Mazzei]

Interesting reading.. inspite of i'm not agree with some things in there..

[Awake]

- 14:03 - A sample of someone saying "This is where we came in" plays. This sample is most likely referencing Pink Floyd's "The Wall." At the end of The Wall someone says "So this is where..." and at the beginning some says "...we came in."Hell's bells that's cheesy. I hope that's just the listener's ears playing tricks on him.

They're not - that is what is said.

I'm wondering something. In The Root of All Evil, when James sings "Take all of me" during the word "of" and between "of" and "me", I hear some kind of a "hey!" in the background. What is that?

that was Mike yelling into the vocal booth trying to see what kind of pizza James wanted to order. I guess he was in charge of getting food delivered that night

Haha

I knew that.

Nice link, thank you! :)

[Staccato]

It feels like he hear what he wants to hear.. but he´s doing a nice work, to find patterns in the album that not even DT are aware of!:D

I'm pretty sure he has collected all that info from the old nugget discussion threads at the MP.com forums.

I actually think whoever created this site has done a great job of presenting alot of different ideas in an unbiased, straight forward fashion.

Totally agree with Staccato..

here's my opinion, he's quite exagerate mentioning a few things for example..


Panic Attack.
Piano part at 1:27 - 1:43 sounds very much like Fatal Tragedy

for me that's the most stupid thing on that whole analysis, it's just the same program, or something alike.

=/ there's not even similar harmony.. well for me.

Even then, we can't deny he is doing a good job :)

I had never heard the song clips played in the back of the intervals section. Well, I'd heard them, but I hadn't recognised them.

I got the whole key signature thing on my own (I play by ear and so I had tried playing some of Octavarium) but I didn't even notice that it was that way on the back of the album (with the F and such). I bet this guy's only scratching the surface of everything on this album.
