I still wonder if this is just a cover for the single (even though it has the album title on it). 

It wouldn't be my favorite album cover, but the most important thing is the music for me.  I wasn't too crazy about the art for SDOIT and that album ending up being phenomenal.  Hopefully history will repeat itself. ;D

i swear us DTFians have better ideas about the artwork than DT themselves

Agreed.

;) I knew somebody would do that... I like the cover. It's simple and it has that ''less is more'' feeling like the Octavarium cover.
So I assume it's from Hugh Syme again. Not sure 'bout the perspective of the majesty symbol though... looks off.

I just don't get what purpose that plane serves in the picture. Looks as if it's there just to provide some space for the majesty logo to be put onto.

Beneath The Surface Yeah, designers can be pretty strange sometimes  ;)

It's definitely worse than most fan made covers.

I just took the bandpic and made a wallpaper out of it. Maybe some of you have use for it, so here it is (1680x1050):

IMO it's supposed to have cut the rope, although it's far low for that.

Hi guys,this is my first post here!I created this some days ago:

It may look a bit empty but it kind of connects to the story.The watch represents the break that MP wanted,the sea represents the guys rejecting the idea and the light that is rising in the background is the new drummer,bringing a new age for the band.I hope you like it!

Edit:I must admit I like it better now,here it is without the glow.Thanks for the tip,everyone!

I'm not a fan of the glow around the lettering. Other than that, I liked it. Better than the official, that's for sure.

robwebster

Yep! Glow aside, that's absolutely gorgeous. And the glow's not that bad. Damn cool work, Stone.

alirocker08

Take off the glow, and you have some gorgeous cover art! Also, great first post, welcome!

Nice!
I also don't really like the glow, but it's not that bad like robwebster said
Also way better than the official cover idd


TheGreatPretender

The art itself is really good. But elephants, eagles... It's way too much like BCSL

Stonestef

Yeah,the elephant brings BCSL in mind..But other than that,i like it.I edited my original post,you can see it without the glow.

I think if you made the DT logo more refined on the edges it would be awesome. a little too blurry/cartoonish

LOL!  :rollin :rollin

I bet if MP was in the band and the album title was A Dramatic Turn of Events, he'd release a drum DVD called A DRUMatic Turn of Events  :P

John94

I was deep in thought on the toilet and thought the exact same thing, only, I wondered if MM will release a DVD entitled the same thing.

Oh how the human mind ponders when on the toilet.

Almost there, except for one key detail. I want Mike Portnoy to release it. A full-length DVD of him playing along to the entirity of the new album.

Weeping.

:tup I really like this.

ITT: Album artwork far superior to the actual album's artwork.

Stonestef

Thank you very much!
I lol'd at the "drumatic turn of events"!And i'm sure that would be the title of the video that MP would release.Even though,the album wouldn't be called "dramatic turn of events" if he hadn't left.   :-\

DT should really pick a fan's artwork for every album. Ever since fans started doing this, their covers have been so much better, it's almost embarrassing for them, imo. Either that, or they should do it like Arjen - hire a real artist to paint the damn thing.

This, I totally agree. I saw tons of much better artworks on DTF than offcial ADTOE cover, even if I like the sky and the man on the rope and the beautiful HD clouds, it is a must to admit that we can find better ones here ;)

Time for a JP wallpaper. This one is more experimental:
