DT in the studio again!

See the banner on top. They use the wrong font 

Wrong Symbol and font, what the fuck?

what's wrong with the font? Looks like their font to me

The most obvious thing is that the second A is the same as the first. That's not the case with the actual design of their title.

The most obvious thing is that the second A is the same as the first. That's not the case with the actual design of their title.

But it's still the same font. There's just an alternate A somewhere in there font selection and it didn't get used for that banner for whatever reason.

[Lucien]

Why the hell does it matter what font the covers are?

Obviously you all hate FII, OiaLT, and WDADU.

Random rage of the fans because an A isn't pointing left instead of right.

It's the wrong A, the wrong T, the wrong E, and the wrong R, and the wrong font anyway. This is the balls version of the font that isn't actually used on official releases.

To be fair, 2 out of the 3 of those are terrible.

BTW there are 4 tracks that Bass got nothing, no tick or cross.

Is it mean there will be only 5 tracks including Bass?

FUCK

Note the last thing finished here was 4/12/13, it was a little while back when they took this picture most likely.

No, only that the other unticked and uncrossed tracks still need their bass parts to be recorded

I'm looking at the cover art for 6DOIT right now, and aside from the second "A" in the youtube banner it looks fine to me.

[Sir GuitarCozmo]

Regarding the font, if you guys really want to get technical about this, I offer the following evidence:



That darker pixel in the furthest lower right hand corner?  That wasn't there on the original font, so whoever's running their YouTube page better get their shit straight.

[cyberdrummer]

To reiterate, I think a CROSS means that it won't feature on the track, a BLANK means it will feature, but hadn't been completed, a TICK means it had been completed.

If that is the case, when was the last time that every song on a DT album had piano in it?

Our next move should be to try to attribute the forthcoming MIDI to one of these tracks.

[dparrott]

What does "Sprinkles" mean?

Titty sprinkles.

This will be DT's tribute to 80's hair metal.

Okay i understand the chart after reading it few more times 

[Sir GuitarCozmo]

I will say that the bits of information they're leaking out here and there (whether intentional or not) to keep the fans excited is really extremely cool.

I second all of this. Who's working on the MIDI, btw?

Yeah! If it's intentional then it's just a brilliant find! Even though it most likely tickles only the core of the fandom, the hopeless die-hard nerds that we are

[The Letter M]

Guys, I'm pretty sure a BLANK spot means that it EITHER hasn't been done yet, or there might NOT be anything there.

The BLANKs for GUESTS are there just IN CASE they want guests to appear on the track, not that they WILL. We're assuming too much with this chart, that is, just because it is blank doesn't mean it WILL have a tick. It COULD have a cross in it (eventually).

Honestly, we won't know unless we A) get a look at the completed chart or B) wait until the album details are revealed.

Also, interesting that "Easter Egg" MIGHT only have lead guitar and keys in it. Shades of LTE maybe?

In that case, never become a graphical designer.
Don't feel bad, I've had to correct people much higher up for not noticing the incorrect font.

[cyberdrummer]

It's much more fun if we wildly speculate though.

[mocool13]

There's also a "latin piano" section in some song (it shows it in the RRUK vid after the progress chart)

[Lucien]

I wonder how the person working on the MIDI of that one melody is doing

[dodido253]

Same here 

[Dream Team]

Judging by that chart, there will be no FFH or BTS as EVERY song has at least some electric guitar.

[?]

There are also drums in every piece, except the "Easter Egg".

[dparrott]

Another TOT album then??? 

[Ben_Jamin]

Haha their working titles crack me up.  It looks like "Clover" is the instrumental, hmm I sure hope it makes me feel clover.  The one I like the most is vinegar seed.

[dparrott]

Metallica had some funny working titles on DM, like Flamingo, Neinteen and Gym Bag

[robwebster]

(0. YARGGG)
1. Reap the Harvest
2. Bad Larry
3. Vinegar Seed
4. Dolphin Safe
5. The Clover
6. Along for the Ride
7. Epic
8. Smoothen
(9. Easter Egg)

In case anyone wanted the titles de-blurred, textified, etc. I'm fine with "Reap the Harvest" and "The Clover" making it to the album.

[Lucien]

Dream Theater - S/T

1. Reap the Harvest
2. Bad Latte *I'm going to predict this will be my favorite song
3. Vinegar Seed *ballad?
4. Dolphin Safe *ballad?
5. The Clover *instrumental
6. Along for the Ride
7. Epic *probably the long song, which is interesting because it uses no acoustic or clean guitar
8. Smoother
9. YARGGG *Some kind of overture, instrumental
10. Easter Egg *Jordan/John Jam?

[wasteland]

I just want the overture to stay YARGGG. As for the rest, come what may

[dparrott]

I don't remember any other DT album having hidden tracks.  Another first?

[dparrott]

Any more references to YARGGG can be abbreviated 

[fadetoblackdude7]

Random thought, I cannot wait to hear what the orchestrations are like on this one....gonna be amazing!

[dparrott]

I'm picturing YARGGG starting off like Great Southern Trendkill:

YAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!

Added working track list to the wiki page:

Not that hidden anymore.
