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

[SuperTaco]

I like how it says "Dream Theater" on the speaker of the TV, and of course those books are interesting as well. "Behind The Veil" with "Darwin" as the author, and a "Goldmine" book on top of it. Hmm... gets me even more excited about this album.

[Hanz Gruber]

Has any one heard if any import versions of the album have extra tracks?

[krieger]

OMG! 

Is that:



A Pokeball?



 

[Bertielee]

I guess it's a Mar Ball.

It's one of Mangini's missing marbles

If anything, I wouldn't say he's missing some marbles. I'd say he has too many.

So it appears to be after midnight since the test pattern is on TV. But it's still unplugged...

But it's light outside....

Snow in street lights perhaps? Or early morning? The plot thickens.

[Lucidity]

Isn't it... always after midnight?

[dongringo]

Isn't it... always after midnight?

Unless it's midnight.

Touché...

I wouldn't be entirely surprised if Darwin was irrelevant, and just happened to be on the spine of the book they added "Behind the Veil" to. It's embedded into the picture a little better - Behind the Veil looks like it's been popped on top. Cool if it's relevant, though.

Goldmine - I wonder if that's the name of the hidden track?

[Kotowboy]

Well you can only get gold nuggets from a goldmine

Le Nuggets LE LE.

[Lucidity]

Goldmine is from a lyric from Through the Looking Glass, as discovered by DTF investigators previously [citation needed].

I'm so glad the people of this thread taught me the difference between digipacks and digibooks!! I hate digipacks, but a digibook is probably acceptable enough.

And also thanks for reminding me to do a full album run-through!!! I did that before....ADTOE, I think. Love doing that. I'll do one album per day starting 11 days before DT12, and just loop that album all day.

Well - maybe someone should to a countdown or something - because tomorrow is Six Weeks til album release day.

[aprilethereal]

[Zydar]

too damn long

[Sketchy]

I'm sure Zyd hears that from all the girls.

[aprilethereal]

too damn long

I somehow expected that

[King Postwhore]

too damn long

You still have to know how to use the hose Fireman Zy.

[Edson Wilton]

[aprilethereal]

Don't really like it at all

[liran95]

Don't really like it at all

Same here.
It's just.. mah.

[dongringo]

I love it, but I'm a glass half full kind of guy. 

[aprilethereal]

I don't think one has to be a glass half empty guy to dislike something

The usual uninspired random copy and paste hackjob by Syme.

[nikatapi]

Reminds me of Rush-Power Windows or something, can't complain I think it is pretty good.

Love the art

[Kotowboy]

I don't want DT to become one of those bands who have continually bad artwork out of some favour to Syme.

Therapy? use the same artist for every album even though some of his work is diabolical.

[Dark Castle]

Can't say I really like that. It looks like the books aren't even resting on the ground, and the tv's angle paired with the rooms odd feel don't really match up...

[johncal]

I think it looks great, and that's what counts....... to me.
