Paradise Lost, Symphony X, drum cover by Dean Talbot

This is just one of those songs, like Atlas Stone (Haken) that captivated me as soon as I heard it. I was lucky enough to see these guys around 2007, and they were as good live as they come across on disc. I don't listen to the album as much as I used to - the album title also Paradise Lost - but this track, I've been listening to regularly since I first heard it. I love the song mainly for the way the melody and the drums play around the time signatures (mostly 6/8 and 7/8). As a drummer, I think the drum track in this song is, for me at least, infectious. One of those you can't put down!
