Guys, it seems I am misunderstood here.

Can't deny how big RR and helps DT to be bigger and popular. What I don't like about RR is the direction DT has to take with them. Good or bad, some loves this and some not like me. It's been debated many times if RR put pressure on DT about the music direction and I'm the one thinks that RR effects DT in a negative way for that matter. This does not mean I *don't* like the DT's musical direction anymore but I have to say they are not *my* humble band anymore.

Systematic Chaos was written before they signed with RR.

From what I can tell, RR has been the best label DT's been a part of. They could do better but right now this is where all the cool metal bands are at (aside from Inside Out of course).

Dear god, I hate my freakin' English.
I love RoadRunner so much, and mostly thanks to their amazing care of DT, and for like 3/4ths of the OP I thought of the word "resign", as if DT decided to leave them, rather than "RE-sign" as in signing again.

I'm very excited about that. This label is just great news for Dream Theater and hopefully they will continue to be exactly that.

Doctor, I need help defusing this atom bomb tangent!

Anyone ever notice how a "-" is all that exists to separate the words "re-sign" and "resign"? WHAT IF DT ARE RESIGNING???

Not to mention the fact that Metropolis was only called "...part 1 " as a joke.
That's what happened with Back To The Future. They put "To be continued" at the end of the first one as a joke, and then everyone was like "wtf, where's the second one?", so they made two more.

Not entirely accurate..

Was the 'To Be Continued' title card on the original theatrical release?
No. Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale initially did not intend a sequel, and the ending where Doc whisks Marty and Jennifer off to the future was meant as a joke. 'To Be Continued' was added to the video version before part two came out. That was the first inkling most people had that there would be a sequel. This unexpected addition resulted in a great deal of speculation which, of course, turned out to be true. It appears in the DVD [reportedly in the collection pack from Region 2 only], complimenting the ending title card "To Be Concluded" on Back To The Future Part II.

OCTAVARIUM SUBFORUM NEVER GETS OLD


CRUFICYYYY

I'd say that's pretty much the whole Octavarium era covered, now. Shall we end with a flute solo and then get back on track?

GRAMMY NOMINATED BAND RE-SIGNS WITH ROADRUNNER RECORDS


NEW YORK, NY (December 3, 2012) – Grammy nominated band Dream Theater, one of rock's most musically fearless and adventurous bands, has re-signed with Roadrunner Records. The group first signed with Roadrunner Records in January 2007 and has so far released three critically acclaimed albums with the label. The label first issued Dream Theater's ninth studio album Systematic Chaos in 2007 and went on to release Black Clouds & Silver Linings in 2009 as well as their most recent album, A Dramatic Turn of Events in September 2011. The band will soon begin recording a new album as part of the new agreement with Roadrunner Records.


In 2012 and while with Roadrunner Records, the band received their first-ever Grammy nomination for "On The Backs Of Angels" in the Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance category. The song was the first single from their eleventh studio album A Dramatic Turn Of Events, which had 14 Top 10 debuts around the world including the U.S. where it entered at #8 on the Billboard Top 200 album chart. 2009's Black Clouds & Silver Linings also charted strongly, debuting at #6 on the Billboard Top 200 album chart, the highest charting record of the band's career. They have also won several awards while at Roadrunner Records including Rollingstone.com's readers' poll for "Your Favorite Prog Rock Albums of All Time" (2012), several awards from the leading Japanese rock magazine BURRN! (2012) and the "Spirit Of Prog" achievement award at the 2009 Classic Rock Awards. Overall, the legendary progressive metal masters have sold in excess of 10 million records and DVDs worldwide. A powerhouse live act, they've headlined and sold out shows all over the globe.


The band commented, "We are all very excited to be re-signing with Roadrunner Records! Over the past 5 years from the release of Systematic Chaos to our latest A Dramatic Turn of Events, we've developed strong creative and professional bonds with everyone at Roadrunner as well as many great friendships along the way."


The band adds: "Roadrunner's dedication and commitment to Dream Theater has been evident to all of us from the very beginning, and is consistent in all departments and on all levels, right on through to the top. Roadrunner is a record label that is not only great at what they do but who truly understand what Dream Theater is all about as well as the amazing people who support us all around the world whom we proudly call our fans. They are a record company we relate to as an organization firmly rooted in its ideals and mission, while always pushing the envelope in an effort to keep things moving ever forward. We've reached many career defining milestones while at Roadrunner and are all incredibly pumped in anticipation of our continued future together!"


Dream Theater formed in 1985 under the name Majesty. The lineup has evolved to become John Petrucci (guitar, founding member), John Myung (bass, founding member), James LaBrie (vocals), Jordan Rudess (keyboards and continuum) and drummer Mike Mangini.


Dream Theater recently wrapped up a massive worldwide headline tour in support of A Dramatic Turn of Events and is heading back into the studio to record their next album. The next chapter in Dream Theater's storied career begins in 2013.
