Lyrics by MP?

[John94]

Hate to break it to you but he left in September.

[VioletS16]

IN MY WORLD HE NEVER LEFT

chill out natalie...

lol
What I meant was that if I have the power to make their entire album, I have power to bring him back. End of story.
If he must leave,
then the new drummer must take over his songs.

Those song titles are really cool.  Surprised to see no epic, but maybe it's for the best in DT11.

[Jarlaxle]

I would say in that list, the Winds of Change would be an epic like Trial of Tears, which now doubt is still considered an epic.

[As I Am]

I would say in that list, the Winds of Change would be an epic like Trial of Tears, which now doubt is still considered an epic.

That's exactly what I was going for. This "creation" is basically patterned after FII which is what I'm kind of hoping for in the next DT release!

[Jarlaxle]

I'd definitely be interested. It sounds cool!

A little "background" on the upcoming album's songs
1. The Cold Breath of Winter (Petrucci) 11:20
This song deals with the homeless people of the world (specifically about NYC), and how they have to cope in the winter months living in the streets. Very dark and thought provoking. Think along the lines of a "Scarred" composition.
2. Which Road To Choose (Myung) 7:15
This song deals with how people handle intense situations in which you really feel "torn" about. Think along the lines of a "New Millineum" composition.
3. Overload (instrumental) 6:00
Think sheer prog-metal awesomeness
4. Nevermore (LaBrie) 5:30
I actually hear this song in my head. A power ballad like DT has never done before. Think "Forsaken" or "Anna Lee", but with a real powerful delivery from JLB! This song deals with loss of a loved one (not through death though, but by breakup - Could be family member, lover, etc but...NOT MP related)!
5. Exercise In Futility (Myung) 8:20
This song deals with trying to be someone you are not. I'm "hearing" a "Beyond This Life" kind of vibe for this one.
6. Nothing Disturbed (LaBrie) 7:45
Uplifting song that deals with overcoming trauma and moving on "in a good place". Think "Another Day" meets "Wither" with an awesome middle jam session
7. Sense of Being (Petrucci) 5:50
Straight ahead Petrucci prog metal rocker that deals with internet self perception. Think "Lie" or "About To Crash".
8. The Darkness Within (Petrucci) 8:45
The first of 2 songs that seemingly deal with the DT/MP split. This song deals with MP's side of things (as told by JP), as a person who has it "great" but isn't completely happy and has a "Darkness Within" and how that person deals with it. Think "Burning My Soul" meets "Dark Eternal Night".
9. Dare To Dream (LaBrie) 5:40
A slow DT acoustic song (piano, acoustic guitars, etc) about never giving up on your dreams in life. My favorite line "You only get One chance to Live Life to The Fullest, Take your Aim and Dare To Dream". Think "Hollow Years" meets "Through Her Eyes".
10. Winds of Change (Petrucci) 12:15
Finally, the song about DT's point of view (through JP's lyrics) in the split with MP and the aftermath of moving on. True Prog genius along the lines of "Trial of Tears" and the slow part towards the end of "Lines In The Sand" before it picks up again.

Wow, that was fun!

[Jarlaxle]

It's awesome cause you write it as if you think they are actually going in to record it tomorrow.

No artwork I create will justify the righteousness this album has potential for. Well done, sir. Well done.

Dream Theater should hire this As I Am character.

[RaiseTheKnife]

"Nevermore" is secretly about Kevin Moore.  Haha, just kidding.  Two songs were enough.

[antigoon]

The extent to which you guys are able to out-cheese each other with these tracklistings is rather impressive

[Infinite Cactus]

Most of the song titles and albums in this thread sound like an Yngwie Malmsteen album. Just cheesier than Cheesasaurus Rex in a power metal band.

After reading this thread, I figured I'd take a shot at this.  No Artwork as I wouldn't know how to put it together, but I'm picturing a long shot of a field a wheat, with a lone figure in the foreground headed into the horizon, which has the band's logo.

Never-Ending Journey

To Shake the Earth (7:42):  A rocker that is their heaviest album opener since As I Am, this song deals with the drive to succeed. 

Collection (5:50):  A mid-tempo song that could have been a major single in a different era, this song has strains of early 90's Rush and Queensryche.  The lyrics tackle the need to collect and keep the things that fuel our memories. 

Dreams Redefined (10:00):  A slowly building song that addresses how people often have to change their ideals when their initial dreams don't work out. 

Controlled Insanity (8:22):  The first full-on instrumental since Stream of Consciousness, this starts with some acoustic guitar then slams into some heavy rocking, with major tempo changes throughout before closing with the acoustic and some haunting keyboards, which segeues nicely into the next song. 

Security (4:50):  A lovely ballad that comes about as close to radio friendly as DT would ever do, this song deals with the need for people to find emotional stability in their lives. 

Waiting for Progress (13:24):  A very quirky mini-epic with lyrics that deal with technological and emotional progress at the same time.  This song would have a feel of late 80's Fates Warning. 

Fields of Grace (22:23):  The true epic of the album, this is reminiscent of Spock's Beard meets 70's Genesis meets DT today.  It also has the most sweeping outro they've done since Octavarium.  I have no idea what the lyrics could come out of a title like that, but they could potentially be amazing.

Sounds a bit to me like DT's worst album.. Systematic Chaos

[LieLowTheWantedMan]

1. Sarcastic Green (8:10) - Some crazy Zappa-like comedy track
2. Fuckin Solos, How do they Work? (10:12) - Instrumental
3. We Are Not A Match (5:10) - The single
4. The Best Them (34:52) - Longest epic besides Six Degrees. Will be the most epic thing ever.

Fuckin' Miracles.

[bloop]

DT's discography has actually come full circle, and from now on they'll just start releasing previous albums in reverse order. DT 11 will be Systematic Chaos and the pattern will continue as such. However, they will claim that it's all new material, and back this up by clever name alterations (Tripping Into a Really Big Number, Pictures and Text, Dark Nimbus's and Shiny Outer Layers, etc.)
