Predictions For The New Album

[comment]

Predictions anyone?

Just for fun:  What date do you predict DT will give us an official update on the new DT13?

Guess the date of the update and whoever guesses the closest wins.  For extra credit see if you can guess the album release date.  Or whatever...

I think next Friday June 19th will be the day.  And they'll release the new album on Sept 28.  Yep that'll work! 

[Kotowboy]

Unlucky 13. The album will be released on Halloween.

...so october 31st...

[Sacul]

The album will be released on Halloween.

And it will have some cheesy title like Nightmare Cinema Pt.2: The Rudess Vengeance

Do you guys have a prediction on when they'll update us from the studio on this Haloween release?

[TAC]

I'm predicting that at this point, well have an update on JP's solo album first.

I'll take that!  Suspended Animation was kewl, I'd love to hear an update on the sequel!

You do know that from the front page of the forum, this reads "New Album Update..."

And for that, I hate you, OP.

[rumborak]

Give how JP said they won't play any new material on this tour, and how awkward it would be to tour with a new single out but not playing it, I suspect the new single won't be released before August 2nd.
So, I think the lack of news will persist for quite some time.

I totally understand the hate.  That's hilarious!  I had no idea, it must be the way my iPhone displays.  I'll switch it around.

It's gonna be a concept album.

[Implode]

There's going to be a song that starts off all quite like for a section then BAM wall of sound comes in with the main theme. Then after the intro, there will be a verse with an angry sounding LaBrie that leads into a prechorus. But instead of going to the chorus, they'll go to verse 2 first. Then prechorus again before that theme returns in full volume for the chorus. Then after a few bars of power chord transitions, JR comes in with a ripping solo with his signature patch sound. That will leader into a technically impressive solo by JP who will make it sound effortless. Then after a drumfill, they'll come in for a short unison. That will lead into another prechorus/chorus/repeat/outro thing song over.

I would like to know how are they gonna begin a tour late june and still work on an album. It's not sarcasm, I may be not aware of a certain methodology of theirs....anybody knows how this goes?

I see it as one of two things:

1) They've finished all tracking before the summer festivals and wait to mix/master when JP and the guys are off tour.

2) They finished basic tracks and need to return for solos, overdubs, and vocals (or something similar)

Hell, they could be completely done with it, but since they said no new material on the festival tour, that really makes me think it won't be a September release. Mostly because the last two releases they released a single before the summer festivals and the album came out early fall.

I think it is impossible to say simply because we have no idea where they are in the process.

True, but this forum wouldn't be DTF without baseless speculation.

Ain't that the truth.

Whether that's truth is pure speculation.

[bosk1]

  My response was directed at zecawolf.  I mean, yeah, we can speculate about where they are in the process.  But no matter where they are, there are always any number of things that can potentially be done while on the road or after returning.

[TAC]

Hoping this tour will produce awesome live photos for the album sleeve..um..CD booklet.

And I have no inside information, but I am expecting a double CD. Serious.

[zecawolf]

Sure there are. But I find it somewhat difficult to put an album together this way, I think it's very easy to lose focus. But that's me, Maybe they enjoy the "rest" between sessions.....

[rumborak]

I think it's pretty safe to say that all the instruments are recorded (since JR went back into the studio weeks ago to "touch up" some stuff). Which means the mixing will definitely be done before they go on tour. The last thing remaining is mastering, and that can easily be done via email.

The truth is the truth. All we can do is live with it.

I definitely believe it's option 1.
So release date would be probably somewhere in November, not before.
In good times for a nice Christmas combo with the DVD/BR taken in the summer tour... Nothing over-produced, just a nice cut from shooting done in one of the most impressive locations they would go... (Definitely the one I' going to- can't beat it) 

[jmasterx]

A November release date makes sense to me because:
For a good while up to and including ADTOE, they released in September and were touring by October.
DT12 saw them only start touring in January, almost 4 months after DT12's release.
They probably will release in November, just in time for the holiday season, and start touring in January like last time.

Yo dawg, we heard you like speculation, so we put speculation in your speculation so you can speculate your speculation while your speculation speculates speculation.

[Zydar]

Well that's just speculation at this point.

[hefdaddy42]

I, for one, don't believe a word of it.

[JayOctavarium]

2:33 - 3:29 of Track 4 is going to be mind blowing

U HERD IT HERE FIRST FROM ME

[SuperTaco]

I predict that there will be a snare drum.

Maybe some bass.

[Dublagent66]

I predict we'll get the same thing we've been getting for quite some time.

[darkshade]

I predict more complaining about the drum sound and overall production quality.

[RoeDent]

They haven't done a 10-track album yet, so I'll predict that. Longest track a "mid-length epic", 14-16 minutes.

[Sacul]

The band will stick with Hugh Syme for the next artwork, and everbody's gonna bitch about it.
