DT12 v. WDAWAIISOIT8V&CSTOE pt. XII

[cyberdrummer]

Seeds of Shame (concept album)

I read "Seeds of Shaman" 

Haha, that's another good idea. However, my concept is related to the legend that is The Count of Tuscany.

Oop, quick braggery interlude - last time we did this, I had a song on mine called "Under the Surface." Literally nobody has ever given a crap about this except me.

This means I'm probably going to abstain from making anything up this year, cos I'm not going to catch lightning in a bottle twice, and I'd like another couple of years obsessing over how last time I once almost predicted something and that this proves that I understand Dream Theater perfectly or some old hogwash like that.

Dream Theater - Life is totally unexpected, sometimes. Let's have a ball!



1. Water on the Edge (7:34)
2. Breaking out of this Cage (6:35)
3. This shining Light (3:52)
4. Centuries of Mayhem (12:18)
5. The Wrath of the Emperor (11:34)
6. The Light in the Dark (4:28)
7. When Sunrise escapes again (21:33)
8. Light on top of the Water (5:02)

All music and lyrics by Johnathan Petrucci.
Artwork by Hugh Syme.

Big block at the top, landscape improbable but symbolic (in a fairly literal kind of way), bit of stock photography at the side - yep, that's a Hugh Syme alright!

I'm looking forward to DT12, and don't expect anything less than greatness. 8vm was my first new DT album since becoming a fan (technically, TOT was, but I only knew like 2 DT songs at that time), and none of their new albums disappointed me when they first came out (though SC got old fast).

I say this every time, but I'm hoping for some jazzy influence to re-appear in their music. We got the tiniest hints of it in Lost Not Forgotten and This Is The Life during the second verse, but it wasn't much. Not expecting walking bass lines or anything, but a little fusion, maybe a little funky groove here or there would be nice. Some other kind of experimentation would be cool as well.

Otherwise, I've been satisfied with all of DT's albums.

Did anyone catch my subtle reference to the Bible? I originally didn't even think of putting one in, but then I saw that there was an opportunity for a "nugget" of my own, so I went for it.

[Ruba]

So who's doing the first totally made up album title, track listing and track lengths?

I found the pre-ADTOE-topic the other day and nearly died for a laughter, when I saw that someone (robwebster?) had made up a track Under the Surface. So close...

E:Ooh, it was him.

[nikatapi]

Awesome!!!

[Mladen]

It's been long enough!     

Myung HAS to be re-introduced into the band.

Have you listened to ADTOE? 

Have you listened to BMUBMD?

I didn't know that's the only song on the album. My copy has eight more songs for some reason.

That's spot on! 

[Zydar]

Oh yeah

Time to fish out some oldies but goodies;

[wasteland]

God, my thread is escalating 

[Zydar]

Something I did while we were waiting for the DT10 title.

Early and underdeveloped Zydar humor 

[robwebster]

Ah! Are we looking back through our image hosts? I only seem to have these.







I'm pretty sure the first one was part of a half-baked idea where I thought it'd be funny to take images from Hugh Syme's portfolio, slap a black bar over the top of it and claim that's the new artwork. The bottom one I think I actually linked to, in a thread, and said it was the cover art for the then-upcoming Raw Dog single. I am pretty sure a few people believed me, and defended my terrible photoshopping. I was incredibly flattered.

[Zydar]

Ah yes, I remember the Raw Dog one!

[Ħ]

That's amazing!

I didn't remember that, so I went and dug it up: https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=9046.msg312153#msg312153

Pretty lulzy.

[MoraWintersoul]

Okay, I just have to repeat myself, with images this time.

The experience of anticipating a new DT record on your own:


And on DTF:


And it's only just announced 

[wasteland]

Oh shit at those gifs 

The second one reminded me of a bunch of sharks in a frenzy feed!

[MoraWintersoul]

Oh shit at those gifs

That's what we are.

True, true

Some new ones would be appreciated. Thnax.

[Pols Voice]

Awesome!!!

Thanks.
