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

[Another_Won]

Here's the full version of what I assume to be the booklet artwork for The Bigger Picture. I took it down last time I posted it as I wasn't sure if it was okay to share the snippet images pasted together like this.

Is there a version of this for Behind the Veil? that is 1836x1836?

[serrano]

Any thoughts if we are getting a new studio video today? Maybe with another short snippet? I can imagine to be releasing small bits once a week till 9/24.

5 weeks to go!

I'm sorry...but everything looks so copied and pasted... Especially the flying seagull! This is professional work...? 

[emtee]

Hopefully something new for this week. A snippet, a vid...anything to keep the anticipation high.

Chiming in because I was one that really didn't like the last picture. Aside from the kid here, I love this concept. It probably could've done a little better, but I really think this one looks great.

Note to those who have not heard The Enemy Inside and don't want to hear it until the album is released:

Parts of the song are played both at the beginning and at the end of the interview.


Someone should've pointed that out before, but I might prevent some people from listening to those bits.

Very cool of you to point that out - thank you. Too bad I'd already listenened... hehe! Mind you, I didn't even realise it was DT. Sounded like a generic piece of intro music to me

[MajorMatt]

I wish they hired the guy who did the TOT artwork once again. That's my absolute favourite.

As long as it's not printed on cheap, crappy paper.

Curse you matte booklet! I demand gloss!

Weird, my copy is on gloss paper.

[dparrott]

Mansun  Just listened to them today.

Attack Of The Grey Lantern. 

It's all about Six for me (the UK version not the butchered US version), that's like prog-pop.  But they're all good.

I was so jealous last night.  My wife is a huge A7X fan and they started streaming their new unreleased album for free on iTunes.  I was like "Why can't DT do that?!?"

There isn't one planned.

Why would DT stream A7X's album? 

[aprilethereal]

Also, keep in mind A7X's new record is officially released in one week, DT's new record wont be out for 5 more weeks.  DT may have plans to do the exact same thing, they may not, but if they do we might just not know about it yet.

i just finihsed re-watching the 4 "In Studio" episodes... i CAN"T WAIT!!!!  This album is going to be amazing!  RELEASE IT NOW!!!!!!

I just emailed my 14-year-old son so he can watch them, too.  The last tour was his first real rock show (took him to Paul McCartney a few years ago, but that really doesn't count), and he is already jazzed up ready for DT to come back through Dallas.  I think he's getting excited about the new Fates Warning album, since they're playing here in December, so I'll take him to that one as well.  AND, they're playing a small club, so it'll be a much different experience for him.  Sure beats the shit out of that dub-shit he likes.

It would seem people are a tad excited.

nice job Bosk

[bertoltus]

That's either an awfully small child or a huge car!

Also the DT logo doesn't align with the horizon, but this could also be due to a sloped beach.

[jsbru]

I just hope to get at least one synth/bass-driven song that is not a power ballad.  Just one.  Something like Lifting Shadows, 6:00, New Millenium, or the first half of Scarred, where the guitar takes a supporting (and not a lead) role for the entire song.  Or at least have a song where it's hard to tell which instrument is in charge, like Learning to Live, TTT, Erotomania, etc.

They haven't done one of these songs in years.

Oh yeah, that would be great.

[illusionist]

I thinK you are totally right.A song that you can't tell which instrument leads and which follows.Absolutely agree!

[Warhorse000]

New to the forum, hey guys!

In before (temp) ban.

[Zydar]

I believe they are confirmed as fake.

[chrisbDTM]

it must be exciting to fall for those

[Lucien]

Those are 100% fake.

[Warhorse000]

I edited my post.  If they are real and I get temp banned then it was worth it for you guys

What is so difficult about reading the rules before posting?

we also don't need to jump down noob's throats. he messed up, we told him, the post was edited. wasn't even a real leak

I bet the people who have heard the album can confirm it even more so.

[TheGreatPretender]

So, hypothetically... What if someone posted a leak and said, "Hey guys, check out this fake leak." Technically, they know they're not posting actual leaked material, right? Would that be against the rules?

[PROGdrummer]

to be fair, I googled the lyrics to the sample that clearly has James Labrie's vocals and no results came up at all. So that might be legit? Just a thought.

edit: oh, would you look at that.... the video Im talking about got taken down. It was for "the bigger picture".  thats strange.
