Dream Theater self titled album discussion - [SPOILER FREE DISCUSSION ONLY]

[Nihil-Morari]

All the morning tweets from RR have been about Rush, the new album from trivium coming out in October, there's something about a band I've never heard of making an announcement....  and apparently there's a new DT bootleg from '93 we can download. (read off my phone, so I don't have a link, sorry.

No single today.

The bootleg was retweeted by DTF, not DT

[wolven74]

No single today.

We, as a human species, need to learn to trust hef more often.

Who doesn't trust Hef? This was a statement designed to keep the "y u no give snippets today?" posts from becoming rampant. If we were going to get snippets or anything relating to DT12 today, we would have.

And it was mostly aimed at people in the states who haven't seen the RR twitter feed.

I wasn't trying to be accusatory, just making a broad assessment. Apologies, my friend

Right... like I said, read off my iPhone's lock screen, amongst other texts and tweets, which makes the print really small. Misread that part.

[hefdaddy42]

Fact or opinion?

It's hef. His opinions are facts.

I've been a DT fan since I&W and I don't ever recall one of DT's labels holding such a tight reign over pre-release remarks and
reviews. I could be wrong. They seem to really want to control the sequence of events leading up to this release for some reason.
Maybe it's just to control leaks and piracy. Or maybe I'm just off base. Sure seems that way to me though.

Have to say that with ADTOE was something similar though, except they gave us some snippets to listen to it.

I think it's the bolded part.

[emtee]

That's what I figured.

[RoDT]

So someone on facebook posted a translated review from one of the people who got a promo-copy... am I allowed to post it here?

[aprilethereal]

A snippet? Too late for that! We are only 54 days away. Gotta be a single to hype it up!

no

[RoDT]

So... anyone? no? Does the spoiler code even work here?

[spoiler]Maybe?[/spoiler]  Edit: guess it doesn't work XD

[Pepe108]

The first snippet for ADTOE was released on August 5. If they follow the same schedule, we could get something next week.

Spoilers:



It doesn't

[The Boomr]

Will somebody please tell me what all this hooplah is about some album cut-off?? I've seen it everywhere but somehow have managed to have NO IDEA what anyone is talking about. Lol. There was something wrong with the artwork? In what way? I hadn't noticed anything....

Here you go. Have fun reading!

https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=38042.0

Thank you kindly, lol. I literally could not see the problem until someone posted the pic with the color curves altered. Now I can see it if I look for it. I'm sure other monitors are a different story though. Glad they fixed it!

[RoDT]

Edit: gone until further authorization...

You are welcome. Yes, it looks like they eventually noticed.

[JayOctavarium]

Still shouldn't be posted unless it's authorized....

Well...that sounds/sounded preeeetty good

[Voices]

I won't discuss it, because I don't know if it's authorized. But I am freakin' hyped now.

[Jinx]

Yeah same. Just managed to catch a glimpse of it thought and... Bring it on I say 

[Shine]

Please let that review be real. So hyped. 

[Lucidity]

Well damn, I missed it.

[Thematt202]

Me too. 

[Lumiukko]

Missed it! 

[The Boomr]

Whoa, taaaaalk about negativity:

I feel like that guy is totally missing the point...of everything...

Even though I would LOVE to go to a listening party, this is just plain dumb.

I agree with your assessment.

Yeah me too.  I didn't even think to complain that those at the listening party heard the record and I didn't.  I just thought it was cool that DT was doing something like that for the first time in their careers.

[sueño]

"Entitlement" is an interesting emotion.

[RoDT]

Also entitled to not having to pay attention to a blog called "Destroyer of harmony" 

[mikeyd23]

"Entitlement" is an interesting emotion.

Haha oh yeah, I think we were talking about this the other day! Obviously, this guy feels like he is entitled to hear what a few select other people got to hear....  I don't know, I just don't think that way I guess, or at least I try not to!

[Thematt202]

Come on, he makes some valid points. 

[Voices]

I can't open that link here at work
