New album 2015 predictions

I think it's time to start the speculation!

DT is going to studio in February, what would you like to see them making this time?
Do you even whahíbrido pickingant?

Concept album on 2 CDs!

It will be more technical & proggy. It will feature the best MM drum sound yet. JR will use more Seaboard.

I'd like for them to do something special. A concept album or a double album or whatever. We haven't had anything other than 'normal' albums since SDoIT.

So yeah, that's my official vague prediction. 'Something special'.

I'm predicting they're going to try and go for something a little different, but maybe not what the fans expect.

Hoping for a concept album.. But only if the inspiration is there for it.

Haven't they said something about a concept album being a possibility recently, or am I making that up? I might be thinking of a different band.

It will feature the best MM drum sound yet.

DT pls.

I stand by my strangely specific prediction that it will do to Six Degrees what ADTOE did to Images and Words.

All of this sounds good to me. But in the end I just hope they make something they're excited about at the time, that generally produces the most genuine music. And not get to caught up or worried about the overall 'conception' of the album and how people will respond to it.

After rediscovering themselves (ADTOE) and coming up with the signature sound for this new era (DT), I think 13 would be the album where they would try to incorporate some of the contemporary influences into their music. So I guess our best predictor is, what are the current elements in contemporary music that they could conceivably incorporate into the music they established in the Dream Theater album?

Yeah anything but that.  :xbones

I don't even mind some djdjdjenty tones if they're not overused, The Enemy Inside was still a pretty typical classic heavy DT tune and I actually quite like it. But I still don't want them to try and be like Animals as Leaders, or Periphery and all those other "cool kids" just to "keep up" or whatever. If JP genuinely is into his djentdjent at the moment, alright lets see what ya got. But yeah nah, in general there's enough djenting out there already IMO.

djentdjent,  as BlackInk so eloquently put. John Petrucci has incorporated minimal amounts of that influence in his guitar playing recently, particularly, in some parts of Outcry, The Enemy Inside, and Illumination Theory. I wouldn't mind that being continued alongside other influences.

Surprisingly, I am ok with this. As long as the keyboards are still clear, the melodies are still priority ovver the riffing, and there are no growling vocals to accompany the djentdjent sound. They could even incorporate some of the modern electronic sounds.

I am a big fan of Periphery and Meshuggah, and I absolutely love TesseracT, but that's about the only 'djent'-music I like, most everything else is pretty boring. I would really like to see DT use some of that type of more advanced polyrhythms, but I don't think the overall 'djent' sound and style is for them. So if Petrucci feels inspired by his nephew, then I hope it's only the additional seasoning of the DT meal and not the meat.

I am two minds about this. They once incorporated a contemporary sound successfully (Awake) but they also failed before (the Muse era around Octavarium / SC). If they could do something like Awake, not referring to the specific sound but rather their approach of incorporating the sound of a particular era without sounding like a ripoff, I would be very happy. If we end up with another Muse mess, though...no, please, no!  :lol

DT12 was quite heavy and chunky throughout.

I'd love a much more chilled out album like Octavarium or Falling Into Infinity.

Would LOVE some more JLB lyrics. I'd like to see him get half of the songs, hope for (2) from JMX and let JP get the other two or three.

The music will be great, that I do not doubt. What I'm worried about is the mixing and mastering, considering how terrible it was with DT12. God they really need a producer.

I'd say concept album because they commented on it being an interesting possibility quite a few times on interviews during the last tour. Then, I agree with Sycsa and would say it will have the best MM drum sound yet (here goes hoping he takes some involvement on that side of things). Since JLB is not writing an album at the moment, at least not that he has made public, he can write lyrics this time around. If it's a concept album, I see them being a bit more experimental and out there than on DT12 and most of ADTOE - not experimental in the way they'll abandon their traditional sound because they've pretty much stated they won't do that (which is sad), but in the proggy, blow your mind sort of way.

And God please no djent. I love the BitS or Awake sort of heavy, TEI was great, let's keep it at that level.

EDIT: Also, longer songs than on DT12, which has pretty much been confirmed by JP when he said he finds it difficult to write short sungs. Unless he's up to the challenge.

This.

As for the songrwriting, lets hope they are in a SDOIT kind of mood (experimental and diverse).
