Maybe it's an easter egg only for the dvd or vinyl or something.  That would be nice.

5. The Clover
6. Along for the Ride
7. Epic
8. Smoothen
(9. Easter Egg)

In case anyone wanted the titles de-blurred, textified, etc. I'm fine with "Reap the Harvest" and "The Clover" making it to the album.

I reeaaaaalllly would love those to be the actual track titles.

The thought of JLB singing a chorus with such titles as "Smoothen", "Bad Larry", "Dolphin Safe", and "Vinegar Seed" amuses me greatly. :lol

Added working track list to the wiki page:

I would love the band to stumble across this and freak out. "How do they know this?" "Is someone spying on us?" "We have a mole at the studio!" :lol

I'm not happy with the lack of keyboard solos according to the board. I love Rudess' wacky instrumental sections.

I'm the exact opposite. Hoping for more atmospheric synth sections.

Infinite Cactus

I'm pretty sure he just hadn't tracked solos at that point.

cyberdrummer

Surely the boxes would have been blank and not crossed if that were the case?

Does that one include "Looking for Love in Several Wrong Places"?

Hey, if it fits, it ships, baby.

You know, I wouldn't mind if the cover was just the logo dead center with the purple lighting, no name or album title just the majesty symbol. Of course the band name will be on the spine.

Yea, same here.  If people don't know who it is by now, that's their problem.  No need to be obvious about it.  I'm sure there'll be a sticker on it anyway.

I think the suggested album art would be attractive but it wouldn't fit in with the band's past album covers. Though their styles vary, all the artworks depict some real thing (even SDOIT portrays what appear to be the sketchings of a maniac, which fits perfectly with the title track of the album). I do hope the album art is simpler, possibly not involving Hugh Syme, but I think something as simple as the majesty logo with no writing is too radical a break from past covers.

Has anyone else noticed the "E" letter in songs 1-6 in the drums column, and in songs 1-3 in the bass column?

Wonder what that means :O


EDIT: MORE IMPORTANT - HAS ANYONE NOTICE THESE CHORDS?!


Pepe108

Yep, I have played those chords on guitar and it's a cool progression.

atmyne

I wouldn't be suprised if DTF ends up deciphering all the material on the album well prior to its release lol.
What's the update on that midi file someone was working on?

dparrott

I love how they're giving us little bits and pieces.  Most bands just emerge out of nowhere like "We're done!" with little to no progress given.

emtee

Still hoping for just a black and purple cover with only the Majesty logo. Minimalistic. Let the music do the talking.

I'm much more excited about this one than ADToE because I was still bummed MP quit. The time of accpetance has arrived
and now I'm looking very forward to hear what MM laid down in the studio.

Quote from: BlobVanDam on November 13, 2015, 07:37:14 PMAs a basic rule, if you hate it, you must solely blame Portnoy. If it's good, then you must downplay MP's contribution to the band as not being important anyway, or claim he's just lying. It's the DTF way.

Makes you wonder if they wanted us to find all this info ourselves or if the would be actually surprised to see the result of such collective Sherlock work :hat

Other than that, I am also waiting for the 4-bar melody midi thing...

Anything we can get our hands on. :rollin

Metropolis pt.-1

The chord progression on that sheet definitely sounds ballad-y to me.

That sheet sounds kind of crinkly to me.

It's back now, and someone put "10. Portnoy's Revenge" at the bottom. Wtf :lol

EDIT: Somehow skipped Mindflux's snapshot, thinking it was his signature. :facepalm:

Aaaaaand it's gone.

Removed by a user of this boards, it would seem! :o

Interesting. Why would they do that?

Looks like someone put it back up.

It wasn't me, actually. I guess someone argued against the judgement of whoever took it down

darkshade

Maybe MP put it back up, and left a clue. :loser:

*EDIT* I can still see it.
