I still remember listening to a song that I really liked, so I saw the name and saved it.
Next song came on, there seemed to be a continuation between songs, I was like "damn what a nice transition", went to save the song: "This song is already in your playlist"
Huh... Ok...
I kept listening, another transition, I was like "damn this album is so nice", went to save the song, "This song is already in your playlist".
Ok, what the fuck? Then I saw the full info:
The Odyssey, by Symphony X - 24 minutes
This happened to me, but in person the first time I saw Nightwish in concert. I love the band but I hadn't had a chance to catch up on their (at the time) latest album yet. I asked "wait, is this the same song?" several times.
Song is The Greatest Show On Earth, also around 24 minutes. Incredibly good

24 min sharp in fact. Though the last bits are ambient noises. "... from so simple a beginning, endless forms most beautiful, and most wonderful, have been, and are being, evolved." Ah, time to fast-forward to the next song.
Speaking of 24 min sharp: Octavarium by Dream Theater. I have joked at times that an Octavarium is a unit of time, equal to 24 minutes exactly.
I like the ambient sounds at the end, it gives you a moment to ponder the existential nature of the song.
And I really need to listen to more Dream Theater, I don't know them very well. Will check this one out. Thanks!
Speaking of Nightwish - I'm wondering if they're going to hold up post-Marko. I also wondered that post-Tarja though, so we'll see.
I definitely miss him, and its a travesty we'll likely never get to see Endlessness live. I will say, I have gotten a new appreciation for Troy's vocals, and they killed Planet Hell in the virtual show they did, so I'm sure it'll work out.
