[Jirpo]

Holy shit, its true, just logged onto facebook to see a whole heap of posts by JP.

[DarkLord_Lalinc]

Hory shit, it's true 

[Jirpo]

"Stay tuned on DT.net tomorrow morning"

[Jirpo]

Man, JP really needs to learn how to use facebook mobile

[Aniland]

I bet the album artwork and more official PR comes tomorrow.

[sneakyblueberry]

I think he's been hacked.

[Jirpo]

Wait, what if its a concept album? Not saying I want it to be or anything, but it could explain the wayward (and kinda wierd) album title.

[Nick]

I'm not really feeling that album title, but as always I'm hoping for the best.

[blackngold29]

Who makes a post like that at midnight? RR's PR guy must be

[chknptpie]

9 tracks!

[Plasmastrike]

Hacked? Ehh.. I don't know about thaaat, but regardless that's some ugly Twitter posting.

Also, sorry, I didn't notice the "A rumor" thread

His twitter posting has always been like that. Bears have big paws, not suitable for mobile tweeting.

If it's true, which songs are JMs? I'm guessing The Shama's Trance and Beneath The Surfaces.

[Adami]

9 tracks!

Yes, not at good as 12, but MUCH better than 6.

[Aniland]

This thread takes precedence over that rumor thread now, because this is the official album thread.

[Adami]

If it's true, which songs are JMs? I'm guessing The Shama's Trance and Beneath The Surfaces.

I'd assume Far from Heaven.

[Aniland]

Aw shit, I predicted which track would be the best? 5? Figures the only song with a crappy title is the one I said. I bet it will be the instrumental.

[Jaffa]

I really, really don't like that album title.  But, fair enough.

[Jamesman42]

Yes, but if it was 12, the nuggeteers would have a heyday.

[Adami]

Touche.

I hope he's been hacked.

I never post in this subforum, but I was just dropping by to say that I respectfully don't really care for the new album title.


Also, "The Shaman’s Trance" is quite an interesting song title. 

[DarkLord_Lalinc]

Fuck the album title, these are exciting news. It all makes me happy  

[ddtonfire]

That sounds like such a JP album title!

Shaman's Trance sounds like an instrumental.

[Jamesman42]

I never post in this subforum, but I was just dropping by to say that the new title is fucking god awful.  Ew.


Also, "The Shaman's Trance"


you've got to be kidding me

The Count of Tuscany, your argument is invalid

[lodeus]

i could care less about titles as long as the material is good.

I actually don't mind "The Shaman's Trance". The second song has a crappy name IMO

[Zook]

This doesn't look like a Dream Theater album at all.

NEVER GONNA BUILD ME UP

NEVER GONNA BREAK ME DOWN

[Aniland]

I love the album title. I just hope the album artwork isn't cheesy. And if it is, I hope it's cheesy in an awesome way.

"On the Backs of Angels" is a beautiful title and I see what James probably meant by "oozing with emotion"
"Build Me Up, Break Me Down" just sounds exciting as all hell of a song, and I bet it will be anthemic.
"Lost Not Forgotten" will almost definitely be the single based on the title and track placement; sounds really tense and epic
"This is the Life" sounds really optimistic and light; I think this song will be a cult classic, perhaps the next Myung?
"The Shaman's Trance" is a silly name and I hate it; I hope it is the instrumental because I don't want LaBrie singing about that subject.
"Outcry" sounds like it will be tremendous and intense.
"Far From Heaven"... ambiguous. Could be giant, could be a ballad, will probably have LaBrie sounding incredibly.
"Breaking All Illusions"...and
"Beneath the Surface"...these last two songs, both give me the feeling that they'll be so big, maybe the best penultimate and ending tracks Dream Theater has ever penned. I feel like one of them (or both?) is Myung. Just...

Ahhhhhhh
