DT in the studio again!

[Cedar redaC]

Is this it!?!?!?!???!!

[wasteland]

Looks Syme-ish. 

[Cedar redaC]

It hasn't showed up on the band's actual facebook page yet (I found it on Meme Theater and Progressive Metal Cereal Guy), so I'm not too sure. It is pretty cool though.

Yeah it's not the real album cover.

[Ad134]

Most certainly not the real cover for anything. There are jagged pixels in the fonts (which means that this image was created SOLELY at this resolution and isn't a scan of a cover), and all of the different components have differing levels of blurriness, suggesting a poor copy-paste job. Looks really fake.

[wasteland]

Damn, I would have loved to hear Blob about that font. Blob, are you there?

[Cedar redaC]

I realized that when I saw it wasn't on the official page.

[MoraWintersoul]

Not real by any means, but it's... weird how easy it is to imitate Syme's DT covers.

[Marion Crane]

How anyone could possible think that's real is beyond me.  That looks like complete ass. 

[wasteland]

The shape of the moon.

[fadetoblackdude7]

The title is cool though.

That's what people said of the ADTOE cover in the first place lol

  I was going to say the same thing.

There are all kinds of DT Facebook pages posting this, and every comment is like "Wow, this looks great!" Honestly, that's a terrible-looking cover. Miles below DT standards. I will be seriously disappointed if they ever used anything like that.

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

I like the title, though, even if it's fake.

"City of the Moon".... very cool.   

[Dublagent66]

I'm surprised that bird isn't riding a unicycle.

They kind of did....the fake cover has a similar vibe to BC&SL imo.

[Orbert]

That was my first thought.

[Madman Shepherd]

I like the concept so whoever did that just needs to brush up on their photoshop skills and they could be the next Hugh Syme!!!!!!!!!!

[Lucien]

We'll see.

I just hope the new album turns out even better than Octavarium (their best album in my opinion)

[Sycsa]

I wouldn't wanna listen to an album which has a cover like that.

[SystematicThought]

It's a very--proggy title. That's for sure. And artwork too

[Chino]

So when Pandora has floating chunks of rock, everyone is all like "ewww", "stupid", "James Cameron sucks dick"... but when DT could possibly have it on an album cover, everyone is all like 

[GasparXR]

The ideas in the artwork are nice I think, but the execution isn't so good. Very Syme-y though. And the title isn't all that DT, but it's a great title, I would expect them to pick something like that.

[ddtonfire]

Rubbish.

It is a bit like BC&SL, but that cover was consistent and well-executed. It has very nice artwork and feels like a whole piece. This, on the other hand, feels really frgmented and random, like the art for Awake, which I also really dislike. It's uber-pretentious.

I always felt Black Clouds looked like a rushed high school digital art project.

I always felt Black Clouds looked like a rushed high school digital art project.

I think the problem is when DT tries to include too many things. It happens pretty often, and it looks awful. It's better when it's simpler. That's what makes the art for ToT, SDoIT, and Octavarium so great.

[Lucien]

That cover is 100% fake, if people started going around putting the Traces in Water (on the fake 12th album thread https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=35334.msg1491247#msg1491247), people would think it was even more real. People are gullible.

[DebraKadabra]

And he's the only one who didn't get to sit on the couch for the Twitter Q&A. JUSTICE FOR JAMES.

That cover is atrocious, btw.

[fadetoblackdude7]

Everyone open their Watershed copies and look at the bottom of the last page:

Opeth: City of the Moon

[DebraKadabra]

Oh man, for real?

DTpeth

Yup, as others have already said, I'll agree. That's been my thought about many Syme covers.

Not sure what else I can add to this. I'm sure a 4 year old is more competent in Photoshop.
