DTF.org The Astonishing Survey (aka Rate the Album)
« on: January 28, 2016, 07:57:09 AM »
So after reading predictions and discussions about the new album, I've been really fascinated by how different peoples' preferences and opinions are. Of course this has always been the case for me, which is what makes DT and DT fans some of the most interesting things.

So for the release of the new album, I've created this short survey to quantify just what people think! I know it's early, but plenty of people have heard it through promos, and some have even received their legitimate copies already. The survey does take that into account by asking for how many times you've listened as well as knowing when your response was submitted too.

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1sqZhhuVguh5Ml1M0gKoHqPe7O2J3CrZI32mA881uSzc/viewform?usp=send_form

I'd appreciate your guys' thoughts! And as I get more responses, I'll create some slightly more in depth analyses of the data.

Even though we have to give our username, are our results anonymous? (to the rest of the forum, I mean)

Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

Results are indeed anonymous. You don't even have to give your official forum name really. I have it set so you can change your answers, but in case that doesn't work, you can always take it again, message me your name you used in your original submission, and I can delete those responses from the spreadsheet. That's the only reason I stuck that in.

Cool. Since it says it's mandatory, I didn't want to risk you dismissing it because I put in a name like "Poop Dagger".

Though I should say, when people view the responses, they can see all the names entered. They can't see which other responses correspond to those names, but everyone can see that robwebster has either come back simply to chime in or someone is having a bit of fun with identity theft. :lol

I'll take the survey either this weekend if any of the local record stores will have the new DT at reasonable price or if I will be able to catch the official RR stream or something, or some weeks later when my copy arrives from Amazon.

Eighteen months, practically two years, you've been off gallivanting around in a personal life, depriving us of your wit and wisdom and all we get is two words?  This development is way more upsetting than any potential disappointment I might feel at finally finding out what the fucking NOMACS eyes do. What do they do?! Why aren't we being told?!

I listened to the album (files) a few weeks ago and I got the final set today. Well, not bad.... but light years away from their great level on IAW or Awake.

It's better than Systematic Chaos, Dream Theater and Black Clouds IMO.

Final rating 5/10

Very cool reading everyone's responses to the album. Three Days is, indeed, an amazing song.

And not that it matters, but I got a kick out of seeing the highest percentage of fans got into the band in 2003 (when I got into them). Right on!
