You can download it from a link in the first post. It's a radio rip, so the sound quality isnt so great, but it is definitly listenable. The song itself is very heavy, has an awesome solo, some weird singing, and some spooky keyboards.
I'm not sure how much I like it yet -- it hasnt really grabbed me with the same awesomeness of songs from albums past, but it's not bad. There's some really cool parts and the atmosphere is pretty groovy.
My only complaints are that the intro is kind of nu-metallish, so is the heavy riff that keeps getting repeated (although I think it works well anyway), and the lack of acoustic/folky parts. This is only one song, and I think it might be the album's closer, so I have a feeling that it's sort of the "Blackwater Park" or "White Cluster" of Ghost Reveries.
Also, Mike's clean singing is unlike anything he's done before. It's not all soaring and beautiful, but I like it in this song.
Just remember, this is only one song, and I've heard it's not even the final mix.
PS: The solo rapes.
