I love this song and I am taken back to the Octavarium vibe. This, to me, is the true DT sound that I have grown to know and love.

I think it's more Peruvian Skies than Pull Me Under, but y'know...

I love it, and I think - for the first time in what must be almost 10 years now - DT sound like DT again.

So, anyhow, good leadoff single. When I first heard it, I immediately felt that it was reminiscent of all the things I liked about FII's sound, with influences from DT's more recent, modern releases. My only gripe is, it's hard not to unhear The Lady Wore Black during the intro. Thoughts?

You know it had to be done...

One of the best songs they've written in a good while.

That was the first thing I thought of during my first listen. Did anyone respond when I posted that on DTF? NO!! *pouty face*

:) I haven't been listening to OTBOA since polish DT concert to not ruin my whole album experience, now I think that I forgot most of the OTBOA parts so I will enjoy it fully ;)

Nice to see so many DTF members here already

OTBOA is very good song but I think it's not not very good single. I haven't heard the rest of the album but if this is their radio single, I am really excited!!!!!
