Which track will be the first single taken from 'Dream Theater'?

[cyberdrummer]

I think The Enemy Inside.

[Jinx]

Surrender to Reason

[BlobVanDam]

I go with The Enemy Inside. The placement feels right, and right after the opening, I think a short accessible track would fit.


Or maybe I'm overanalyzing, but that's my choice dangit!

[Ruba]

Not neither one of the epics, that is sure. I'll place my bets on The Enemy Inside.

[wasteland]

The Enemy Inside for sure!

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

The Bigger Picture. No particular reason.

This.

The ol' kangaroo humper speaks the truth.

I'm with you, Blob.

So we are doomed to failure. 

[OsMosis2259]

I'm going with The Enemy Inside. The first track is going to be an epic so The Enemy Inside could be something more accessible like BMUBMD, Forsaken, Wither etc

[Tomislav95]

The Enemy Inside sounds to me like catchy metal song (something like CM) and like that it would be good single.

[ariich]

EDIT: Oops, wrong thread.

[Zydar]

Wrong thread, Rich

[Meatrose]

I'm going with The Enemy Inside. It just sounds like a good name for a single and I'm betting it'll be the least progressive non-ballad track on the album. (Guessing is fun)

[Elite]

I picked 'Illumination Theory'

[BlobVanDam]

Why is everyone voting for the Enemy Inside? That's the one WE'VE ALREADY SEEN A LYRICS SHEET FOR!!

Is that relevant? Did the song have 12 verses or something I'm overlooking?

edit: Just noticed your edit. Sorry bud.

I'm imagining The Enemy Inside as a up tempo straight forward metal song, somewhat like CM or BMUBMD, or like something off EoP. No particular reason. We'll see how far off I am with that. Wouldn't it be funny if it ended up being a 10 minute ballad?

Yes  . Or a one minute intro for The Looking Glass.

Many second tracks have been released as singles (Status Seeker, Another Day, Caught in a Web, Forsaken, AROP), so maybe that have made the most of think TEI (a new abbreviation, yay!) for a new single.

Yeah I noticed straight away that I'm a failure. This is what happens when I click to open up multiple threads at once and then don't pay attention to which one I'm in.

It'll probably be one of the earlier tracks, that's standard fare, so Enemey Within or Looking Glass most likely.

[Hayden]

I'm surprised to see that "Along for the Ride" hasn't gotten any votes yet. That would've been my #2 guess.

[LCArenas]

The Enemy Inside

[Ben_Jamin]

I went with The Enemy Inside, but I could see Along for the Ride, and The Looking Glass.

[Voices]

My guess would be Bad Larry, but the working title didn't make it to the tracklist

[The Letter M]

TEI

Track 2 has always been a prime spot for singles and potential singles: Build Me Up Break Me Down, A Rite Of Passage, Forsaken, The Answer Lies Within, Blind Faith, You Not Me, Caught In A Web, Another Day.

-Marc.

[Lucidity]

The Enemy Inside. Title sounds like a solid generic metal song name.

Kinda like Forsaken after ITPOE Pt. 1

[senecadawg2]

More importantly, when will it be released?

[?]

I was thinking the same... The press release says the pre-orders will start in July, so I'm sure they'll release a song before that. Probably not this week, but I don't think the wait will be too long.

[Unlegit]

Surrender to Reason, for absolutely no reason.

[425]

Probably The Enemy Inside, for reasons that people have already stated. Definitely sounds up-tempo enough to be a single, but like one of the mid-length to shorter tracks. I'm guessing 6-7 minutes in length.

[philmcson]

I think I've seen a cover for DT - Enigma machine shortly after the album statement came. But I didn't save the picture.....

[Scorpion]

Yeah, that was fan-made though.

[Dark Castle]

The Bigger Picture. No particular reason.

[Lolzeez]

Surrender to Reason

[GalacticGuitarist87]

I think Along for the Ride, simply because the tour is named that and they would want that to represent it, but who knows.
