DT in the studio again!

[?]

2 or 3 pages late, come at me

INVENTORY!

And yeah, the cover is clearly fake. Or if it IS real, then I don't know what to say

[Scorpion]

Sadly, I wouldn't even be too surprised. And I'd probably just replace it with a worthy photoshop from a DTF member again.

[Fisi]

The cover does look horrible, and one of the biggest reasons for that are the colours. However, honestly I'd be positively surprised to see something in the similar style as the real cover. Something unexpected and simple, a bit like the album title.

[Zydar]

I felt mildly creative:

[GasparXR]

I would accept that as the album cover, but it doesn't quite fit DT. There's not a whole lot of things that could produce thoughts. It's just the logo with band members, although I could see that as part of the booklet.

[Zydar]

Yeah it's more of a promotional thing, I guess.

Guys, remember when the cover art for ADTOE was revealed, and most thought it was fake, and it took weeks for many fans to accept that it, indeed, was the REAL cover art?

Well, I hope we're not repeating history here.

also I wanna share my speculations on the working titles tracklist. I had fun trying to predict the lenght of every song or associating the title to  previous DT song.

regarding the lenght of time we'll see if I guessed some or I was completely wrong :

1. Opening 4 mins
2. Reap the Harvest 6
3. Bad Larry 8
4. Vinegar Seed 9
5. Dolphin Safe 6
6. The Clover 7
7. Along for the Ride 11
8. Epic 17
9. Smoothen 5
10. Easter Egg 1          TOTAL TIME around 74 mins

if this album were made of previous DT song for me it would be like this:

Opening-Overture (SDOIT): I realy wanna hear great orchestrations in it, just like this magnificent song

Reap the Harvest-About to Crash: This title intrigues me. It makes me think of a really proggish Rush-related song, like Innocence Faded or Strange Deja Vu. I'm really looking forward to it

Bad Larry-Constant Motion: really powerful, with lots of badass riffs inspired by Metallica. I'd associate it with Rite of Passage, too.

Vinegar Seed-This is the life: well, I might be completely wrong, but I think this may be a ballad with some great epic moments, just like TITL or One last time.

Dolphin Safe-Through her eyes: really smooth, delicate, like saying you: relax and prepare yourself for the second amazing part of the album!

The Clover-The Dance of Eternity: I'm really looking forward to it, and I hope it will be on the level of TDOE, my favourite DT instrumental

Along for the Ride-A Nightmare to Remember: I expect all the elements of a great DT song: great riffs, beautiful acoustic middle section, amazing instrumental part and an epic final.

Epic-The Count of Tuscany: if they've given this title it sure will be one of the best compositions they ever made. In DT I trust

Smoothen-Beneath the Surface: like ADTOE, it seems that a ballad will close the album. I would like to hear something similar to BTS, with lots of acoustic guitars and mostly a Genesis vibe in it.
   
A compilation thus made would be around 77 mins long, containing some of the very best in DT discography, hoping that my expectations won't be disappointed

I actually like the ADTOE cover, but this one? Absolutely horrible.

[Ben_Jamin]

They should keep Reap The Harvest as a title.

[TAC]

Awesome!!

[wasteland]

Is my brain tricking me or were those made in the PRE-ADTOE era? 

[Lowdz]

How on earth could anyone even think it's a possible cover? It looks horrendous! 

Also, I bet a band somewhere has made an album cover like this. It's just too simple of an idea for a band like DT (Especially if Hugh Syme is making the cover).

Similar, but less amateur-ish.



If it's a simple cover with the logo I'm thinking Syme will do a textured background like Whitesnake's 1987 and every other cover he did back then 













There are plenty more but you get the idea.

[TAC]

That's interesting, Lowdz.

[wasteland]

Well, I would love if he departed from that canon he himself established. They look rather cheapish... 

[TL]

Yep, I made them back when we were all waiting for them to reveal ADTOE's cover.

[BlobVanDam]

They all look better than the last couple of DT covers by a fair bit. I'd rather simple and well executed, than complex and cut and pastey. Simple like that is exactly what this album covers for too.

[Grizz]

This one needs painting elephant masons on unicycles crashing into mirrors!
And traffic lights for the hell of it!

[Lucidity]

I don't see how anyone can take that curtain cover seriously. It looks godawful. I know DT covers aren't all great, but they at least have pride in their work.

[wasteland]

What if DTDT's cover is a combination/collage of all the previous ones? I am not very big on this idea, to be honest, but it's a possibility.

[Implode]

You mean like



EDIT: Wait a second. You're the one that posted this picture in the other thread. 

[Mosh]

Seems like something they'd maybe do if Portnoy was still around. It's a cool idea for a compilation album, not so much a studio release. The problem is there's virtually no way to do that without it being too busy.

[mellotron_scratch]

Yeah, when you look at that image, your eyes don't know where to look, because there's so many things.

[TheAtliator]

That is the greatest image I've seen in my life.

[fadetoblackdude7]

Which object in that picture is from WDADU?

[Zydar]

The branding iron below the unicyclist.

[fadetoblackdude7]

Ahh. Didn't know it was a branding iron lol

[BlobVanDam]

Looked like a flower or something at that res. Thanks to Zydar for the facts!

[Zydar]

And knowing is half the battle.

[BlobVanDam]

And the other half is wild speculation!

[SystematicThought]

I thought it was a fireplace poker....
