[Sir GuitarCozmo]

8. Daniel and the Lion (20:31) (Petrucci; a retelling of the biblical story of Daniel in the lions' den [epic and proggy, fluctuating from heavy to non, light to dark, dark to light, light to dark, dark to light, ending on a light and optimistic note])

love it, bro! the inception top on the cover gave me a chuckle and there's no majesty symbol!

[RoeDent]

It took me a couple of looks at the Unyielding Endeavors cover to spot the Majesty symbol...



fadetoblackdude7, the Majesty symbol is in the clouds.

....it is of course!! my bad.

[ThroughHerEyesDude6]

Yes! I wanted people to try on this one. The other one I made was a little too obvious. Glad you're enjoying the work men. Carry on.

[Aniland]

I love that one a lot.

Edit: Ok, now I'm done...I hope. Aniland, if you need to shut me up, just say so.

Dude, just saying, I have plenty of respect for you now.

8. New                    (16:05)

                             (61:30)

Yes, I did make the album art in paint. If anybody with better graphics talents wants to take the concept and make something beautiful, I totally would not stand in your way.

The album is a concept album that may or may not (but probably may) have something to do with a certain event that happened to the band recently.

Is that an invitation? 

[ThroughHerEyesDude6]

If DTF would permit me, I would love to do mock up art for the 11th albums from Martinman300, perfectchaos180, bodiesinflight, & Aefenwelg.

But only after I pass out. I've been up for about 40 hours now.

[Ice9ine]

1. Equinox 9:42 - Petrucci. (Brilliant intro ambience leading into tight, heavy 7 string riff based masterpiece showcasing fresh new DT sound and energy. Impressive showcase of new drummer with tight sync and double kick tech mixed with groove elements in Chorus. Big chorus and wonderful vocal melodies over a wonderfully produced new DT epic.)

2. Irreversible 4:57 - Petrucci (Think Wither/ Forsaken. This is the single off the album and has a wonderful piano/ vocal intro leading into a stylish verse progression which is supported by a harmony driven memorable chorus. Beautiful guitar solo which is melodic and tasty. The song also fades with an outro solo mirroring the chorus melody.)

3. Fragmented Illusion 10:23 - Petrucci (Massive 7 string riff and drum intro. Think The Mirror crossed with Damage Control crossed with The Glass Prison. Huge riffage and chorus with many tech showcase moments yet remaining tasteful and stylish throughout. An interesting middle solo section between JP and JR evolving into a jazz fusion style then building back into the main riff. Some ambient moments throughout also which breaks up the ongoing onslaught.)

4. Ashes of Amira 8:43 - Petrucci/Myung (Instrumental. Think Stream of Consciousness and Erotomania)

5. Amidst My Madness  6:10 - Petrucci/LaBrie (Think The Great Debate. Cool intro leading into some of the coolest tight guitar/synth riffage ever. Some effective vocal efffects creating atmosphere and a dark heavy chorus. This song changes up throughout into some calmer moments alomost like Voices and returns to the signature chorus. Some very tasty drumming and guitar work in this one a Dance of Eternity style solo section.)

6. Breath of Life 3:56 - Rudess/Petrucci (Think Hourglass mixed with Vacant. A wonderous short interlude instrumental on piano and haunting JP electric melody on electric guitar. This piece slows the pace down and sets the mood perfectly for the intro to the final song.

7. The Balance of Power 18:36 - Petrucci/ Myung (A classic Dream Theater epic akin to ITPOE part 2, Octovarium and The Count of Tuscanny. This starts with acoustic guitar like ACOS with some beautiful vocals beginning not long after. The song build playing on the initial melody before transforming into a Beautiful Agony type Chorus section. Some vocal samples are heard throughout an atmospheric section that grwos into the most epic instrumental section ever written. The drumming here puts aside any doubts about DT's new member and JP unleashes with jaw dropping riffage and tech moments. JR uses many piano and pad sounds until this section until his impressive solo input into this section. This onslaught climaxes before laying to rest and entering the final outro similar to TCOT. The huge chorus returns with a massive build up and drum outro that rivals Finally Free. The piece ends on a high, powerful uplifting progression.

Total run time 60:67

Produced by Steve Wilson

[ThroughHerEyesDude6]

Groovy Album! I dig the lion a lot.

[Aniland]

Yeah, I REALLY like that and it made me excited. Want "Equinox" now.

[icon_bleed]

White Lion - Pride ?

just kidding..

[Zydar]

Cool!

[skydivingninja]

I think I remember RobWebster making a post like this earlier, but I find a lot of the albums/songs that people are making up to be really cheesy or pretentious.  Whether they're being serious or not is something different, but I would cringe the greatest of cringes if I ever saw a DT album with those kind of names.  They really don't have pretentiousness built into their system.  Cheesiness, maybe, but they hide that cheesiness in most of their album/song titles.

I do like "Balance of Power" as a name for an album though.  I would actually like to see shorter albums and more tracks around the 8-12 minute mark.

[Kosmo]

A lion on the album cover would indeed be cool.  
Gonna give a try on the tracklist thingy, no albumcover though!

Dream Theater - Collaboration
