I think folks are reacting badly to the "Dokkenesque" big snare thing. The snare has a good bit of low mid so it doesn't sound as tight as many prog bands tend to go these days. A bit more boofy. I must admit it threw me off at first as well. The mix doesn't sound quite complete. Almost like they released a rough mix without mastering. But hey it's DT and it grooves!!!!
I don't really listen much to DT but I do enjoy their stuff if it's on.
That track was really good - great groove and melody.
I've seen a lot of people complaining about the mix... saying guitars are too loud, vocals too low.. and a lot of people hate the snare drum but I think it sounds great.
