DT12 v. WDAWAIISOIT8V&CSTOE pt. XII

[TL]

I&W and Awake are great albums, but the covers are very eh.
Their best covers are FII, SFAM, SDOIT, Octavarium, and Systematic Chaos, in no particular order. The cover of ADTOE is fine, but I prefer the other mentioned ones over it.

[BlobVanDam]

The I&W album? Yes of course. The album art? No thanks.

Agreed. Dreadful cover for such an amazing album.

What are you talking about? Mine has the font.

That's all it would have taken. That looks so much nicer, doesn't it?

[?]

Call me crazy if you want, but I like the covers for I&W and Awake better than the ones for FII and Six Degrees. Scenes and TOT have nice covers as well.

Travis Smith is an amazing artist. I think he does Amorphis's cover art too, and they probably have the best cover art in metal.

Agreed - to quote myself earlier in this thread:

Travis Smith has made lots of great album covers for many great bands - Katatonia, Amorphis, Opeth, Anathema... As a Finn I especially like his works for Amorphis, he managed to capture the feel of Finnish mythology really well in those cover arts (unlike the guy who came up with the cover for Thousand Lakes! ).

I personally love all of their album covers except for WDADU......it's something I look forward to when a new DT album comes out.

Whatever was broken with it before, you fixed it.

[Zook]

lol I rarely look at that cover so it really doesn't matter to me if some stuck up cover artist didn't use the font. It does indeed look better though.

[Chino]

Seeing as the only time I see the cover is when I am browsing for it in the store... I don't really care what they do with it.

good interview with Jordan, talks about his musical history and then about DT 12.

not a lot of solid details since this was recorded before they went into the studio, but Jordan does say Petrucci is producing the album, and that while theres no set timetable for the album he expects them to be totally done with it around early summer, and that they have tour plans for this summer.  nothing really new on the dvd front, though it is briefly mentioned.

Is that picture of the chocolate cake their new "inspiration corner"?

[SystematicThought]

I wanna see the drum kit!

[Cedar redaC]

"How's the next album going to sound?"

"Dark, tasty, and really good."

[goo-goo]

Any techie would like to explain to me please how that gear works? I mean, which amps are those? Effects? From the RR era records, I love how JPs guitar sounds in Black Clouds.

[Cedar redaC]

Most of his tone is a Mesa-Boogie Mark V.

I was asked by a member who is currently too lazy to think and write in English to make you aware that the author of that photo is none other than Richard Chyki, who we all know was the one who produced the vocals for ADTOE. (I asked him how did he find out and will post his answer if he doesn't himself)

What does this mean? Just a random early visit to the studio or is there something more?

[TAC]

Could it be from the studio that James is recording his album at?

[wasteland]

Could it be from the studio that James is recording his album at?

No, that's definitely JP's rig. And since someone, the photographer I presume, stuck the DT symbol in the bottom right corner, I assume that it's definitely DT too

Makes sense to me!

He is mixing the DT DVD (check out his blog at his website). Could be that he has replaced Paul Northfield as the recording engineer as well.

[Big Hath]

what is that underneath the monitor on the right side?  (maybe it is two things, idk)

Well, this is definitely interesting.

[Zook]

Mr. Wilson looks so happy to be there.

[MrBoom_shack-a-lack]

Yea i mean their definitly in a studio (DTs?), so maybe they are planning something together or he's just visiting...

[Zook]

He doesn't even like Dream Theater's music. Why would he visit while they are making new music he wont like?

[goo-goo]

Very interesting. Richard Chyuki and Steven Wilson. Richard has been mixing the DT dvd..Maybe SW for the 5.1 mix? Maybe Richard is the recording engineer and SW the mixer after the album is done? Man, this is quite interesting.

[SomeoneLikeHim]

I'm pretty sure that was taken at some kind of event connected to Steven's new album.

[cyberdrummer]

Yeah that was taken at a listening party for the new SW album.

[wasteland]

Much ado about nothing, then

[MrBoom_shack-a-lack]

  anyway, carry on.....

[SystematicThought]

I will be concerned though if the next album has a song called "A Train Run By Depressed Teenagers" though.

Or the archetypical JM/SW collab: "Deform To Form A Bass".

[SystematicThought]

Or the MM/SW Collaboration "Like Wood Shavings I Have Cleared From My Eye"
