OFFICIAL Five-Eight/One-Three-Seven discussion thread

Since the revelation that Distance Over Time is a concept album and sequel to Octavarium, I figure we need an official nuggetz discussion thread.

I love you so much.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

I don’t understand. When was this announced? I mean, how did someone figured it out that this is a sequel to 8V?

I was hoping for a sequel to Systematic chaos, but this will have to do.

Wait, this isn't the sequel to Falling Into Infinity?

I thought "Time" aspect with Infinity and all that was the big NUGGET.

Guess not.

Holy crap. I can't tell if this is serious or not but, then again, as far as I can tell, you guys usually do funny stuff in the forum on April Fool's, so I'm going to go with serious. :)

Bosk, so, do you want me to open my '137' thread once again here? Or do we only use this thread?

My excitement level for this album just went through the roof!!!!!

If anything, my expectations are now SO high that I’m not sure it will ever be able to live up!

Octavarium is their greatest album ever! How do you sequel that?

Wait....is this a joke? Because I’ve worked very hard today, and just finished my first hot buttered rum of the season. I’m way too vulnerable for you guys to be teasing me with your Octa-roofie.

I for one cannot wait for The Answer Lies Within II. And who's willing to bet the song with Mike Mangini lyrics is "Still Never Enough"?

Surely Octavarium II should be the band's sixteenth album??

137 is obviously a number very important to the Grand Unified Theory. So everything is connected. D/T is obviously the sequel to Octavarium, but it's also the sequel to SFAM, and the sequel to TA, and the sequel to SDOIT. It connects all the previous 136 songs from DT in a grand scheme of interconnected storylines. It's the most ambitious work yet, and so cleverly put together.

And I mean, it's obvious, isn't it... 1 3 7.  5 8. 2. 6. Get it?
137 from D/T. 5/8 from Octavarium. 2 from metropolist pt. 2. 6 from Six Degrees. 4 as in the fourth album with Mangini. It all makes sense!

I'm actually quite amazed that no one has come up with the one true answer to this riddle:

The new Dream Theater album is nothing more than a full cover of The Pineapple Thief's classic 2002 album 137.

Also damn you for tricking me into this by starting an entire bussing subforum about it.

Then again, one Freddy Jacobi started a thread about a weird link in a photograph, and it turned out being one hell of an experience. So, even if this subforum is to make some lighthearted fun of some of us, I imagine there will be something interesting in the new album.

Since they already accounted for every note in the chromatic scale in the original Octavarium, I'm expecting DT to use microtonal instruments for this record.
