My begging worked! I've been telling Doug to react to Octavarium for like a month now

Goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway, since I'm listening to it now...

Hands-down, one of their best tracks. I am so glad I got to see this live. That ending... It's a masterclass in how to end a song, album and show.

Doug is a lot of fun to listen to. He takes a technical look at songs and their chord progressions, time signatures, etc. I believe he has a PhD in music theory, or something. Octavarium blew him away.

Never forget that first time hearing it. So glad we got to see Doug listen for the first time.

That was really fun, thanks for posting this. Loved the enthusiasm, bringing back memories of the first time I heard this. I learned a few things and was really impressed with how quickly he picked out some of the musical nuances, including lots of things I never noticed over dozens and dozens of listens. Great stuff!

I see he did one for LTE's version of Rhapsody In Blue, so I'll definitely be checking that out, along with others from his channel.

Love Doug, love Octavarium. Yesterday was a good day 😊

Can't wait to watch this, favorite song and album. Along with a guy I like seeing what he thinks.
