New Album Title (A Dramatic Turn of Events) and Track Listing Revealed

[nikatapi]

Τhanks for the info. The question is if DT will play any new songs on the first tour dates, given that the release of a single in the next days seems unlikely if the mastering is not done yet.

[Knguro]

If anyone knows the process of mixing and mastering, i was wondering how long could it take until the album is finished.

Well mixing has to be done by now, now mastering is basically about details on EQing gain levels and some other complex stuff like dynamics, aaaaaand since we are talking about DT songs it might TAKE around 4 or 5 weeks, rough numbers of course.

Of course the times are fake. One of them is 6:66.

Could be true
though it probably isn't

[The Letter M]

Of course the times are fake. One of them is 6:66.

Funny how that was added 9 minutes ago...

I agree these are probably fake, but it'd be interesting if "The Shaman's Trance" was (one of) the longest track(s) on the album and placed smack dab in the middle!

-Marc.

[Jaffa]

You think it might be true that a song length could be 6:66, huh?

[The Letter M]

And now who ever added 6:66 has added that the 17 minute Shaman's Trance is an instrumental 

Imagine that - a 17 minute DT instrumental!

-Marc.

[Zook]

Only DT are capable of adding 6 more seconds on to a minute. I believe it.

[The Letter M]

Only DT are capable of adding 6 more seconds on to a minute. I believe it.

This is true. I'd laugh if 6:66 showed up on the album's liner notes, but the clock ran to 7:06...technically 6 minutes and 66 seconds...

-Marc.

[Jaffa]

Did someone here edit it?  It's been changed from 6:66 to 7:06... 

[ariich]

It keeps changing. When I looked earlier there was only 8:59 and 17:21.

Oh crap...
Ok that was pretty much the most epic fail today -____-
Lol srry for tryin' to be a smartass xD

[BlackInk]

I wouldn't like having an 17 min instrumental. THAT would be dragging it out.

[jsem]

I don't want a 17 min song at all. Especially if it has the name "Shaman's Trance". Terrible name for a long song. That one should be 5-7 min long.

[Elaitch]

Considering the wikipedia page doesn't seem to have proper, independet moderation I wouldn't take any of those track lengths as definite in any sense.

[ResultsMayVary]

I want artwork, song lengths, and a single soon. Also, 8 days until Dream Theater's first show with Mangini on the drums.

[SystematicThought]

This album would be perfect for a drum-cam DVD

A DRUMatic Turn of Events.

[bloop]

They probably came up with the title just to troll Portnoy about not being able to use that.

[Aramatheis]

This album would be perfect for a drum-cam DVD

A DRUMatic Turn of Events.

I think that line has been used like, 4-5 times now.

Because it's so badass. 

[SystematicThought]

Exactly! 

I think the last one that flowed was Sysdrumatic Chaos, this one really flows

[BlackInk]

I don't want a 17 min song at all.

I could live with a 17 min song, but then it has to be really good. Nice lyrics and very musical.

[ResultsMayVary]

Exactly!

The awesomeness that describes how much this name flows can not be described in words. Not even close.

[Jamesman42]

Was there one for BC&SL?

A Drumset to Remember
Black Drum and Silver Cymbals

[drpez98]

Was there one for BC&SL?

A Drumset to Remember
Black Drum and Silver Cymbals

I believe it was called Black Clouds and Silver Drumming

[Aramatheis]

that's.. lame

[JPX]

I don't want a 17 min song at all. Especially if it has the name "Shaman's Trance". Terrible name for a long song. That one should be 5-7 min long.

Huh?

[SystematicThought]

that's.. lame

The cover was even more lame. MP sitting on a giant marshmallow giving what was deemed "The Prog Claw"

[chrisbDTM]

funny how long songs used to be desired, now some people dont want any

[XianL]

I'd still be down with 17 min long song 

[bloop]

As long as the album doesn't consist entirely of 17-minute songs.

[darkshot]

I think people are tired of DT's long songs because its become a gimmick at this point, they pretty much guarantee at least one per album now.  So something different from the norm is what prog is all about isn't it?  I wouldn't be against a 17 minute song but I'm sure a lot of people feel like the "epic" songs aren't as epic as they used to be, since its to be expected now.

[Knguro]

As long as the album doesn't consist entirely of 17-minute songs.

What? Why not? The new vibe has a lot of possitive energy, i mean is DT i wouldnt mind a double disc with 20, 50 minute lenght songs at all!

[ResultsMayVary]

Whatever they come up with, I'm fine with. I just want some new music.

[King Postwhore]

I'd still be down with 17 min long song 

17 minutes is all I need.
