First, Hugh Syme did the album artwork, not Dream Theater.

Second, there has been much discussion on this very topic and you can find that by using the handy dandy "Search" feature at the top of the page.

Lastly, welcome to the forum!

This is the opposite of a big deal.

There's a difference between "Clip art" and "stock imagery", and Hugh Syme is a Photoshop artist who cannot be expected to organize a photo shoot for every cover he does when the same pictures are available for purchase online legally.

I dunno, it might be a big deal. I threw my copy of the CD in the garbage just to be on the safe side.

"    I'm glad you showed me this. As a result I have burned all my Dream Theater merchandise and thrown their CD's away. Obviously they are gigantic hacks who steal everything from other people, EVEN CLOWN ARTWORK. They were once my heroes but I can't listen to these hypocritical, clown-art stealing liars anymore. THANK YOU FOR HAVING THE COURAGE TO SHOW THIS TO THE WORLD BRO."

I enjoy viewing peoples attempts at smarting off.  It makes me randy.

See, this is why I don't buy Dream Theater's artwork!  Usually the CD comes with it so I will either give it to a hobo or wipe a hobos ass with it...either way, all my Dream Theater artwork is given to hobos.  I keep the CDs...except for tracks 5,8,21, and 74 from the last album which are obviously all ripoffs of the charts Dominici used on his latest CD of banjo music.

So you are saying that 5 and 8 are prime numbers?
This concludes my case that Dream Theater wrote Octavarium around what they thought were both prime numbers, 5 and 8, because it's the time signature they used on every song on the album 'Pull Me Under'

When, in fact... The number 8 is not a prime number, 7 is.
This confirms my suspicions that John Petrucci doesn't know his basic classroom mathematics, and only guitar mathematics...
Which confirms another rumor that on the new album, John Petrucci uses the same guitar mathematic polyrhythmic guitar tabs on the hit single, On The Backs of Kevin Portnoy, as he did on their first and only hit single since, Pull Me Under.
