Just like DT made a drumless album when MP left.

I'm reading something in between this. So you're saying there will be cake?

The cake is a lie.

Wait, MP left?

That makes A Dramatic Turn Of Events Dream Theater's ...And Justice For All.

That's a bass-less accusation.

Along For The Ride. Calling it now.

[RMGadelha]

So I guess we can assume that we won't be getting audio snippets this time at least in the way they did with ADTOE? Or is it too early to assume that?

[TheDodo]

Not sure what you are reading, but I'm not implying anything.  Just that the booklet art does not prove that Behind the Veil is a single.  Of course, it doesn't prove that it isn't.  But it doesn't prove that it is either.

The boskalicious-like-chocolate-cake-1 hath spoken.

Well giving out a teaser for booklet art sounded weird to me.. So I didn't see any reason to think that. But why teasing booklet art anyway? If we get high quality booklets with album it's good but not the main selling point of the album.
Maybe the assumption of the single was quite a leap but maybe there is still one coming in the future.

[bosk1]

But why teasing booklet art anyway?

Because it costs them zero $ and almost zero effort to tease booklet art, and it's enough to get people talking for a few days until the next tidbit is released.

You know what would be awesome? If DT reshot the IAW booklet. The one where they're all badly photoshopped into this "greek architecture scifi" background. Just for hilarity.

You just want to see Mangini in nothing but overalls, don't you?

ooh look. It's an update of the Power Windows cover- that tv is similar to the one on the floor of the PW cover, bare floorboards- it's a PW homage. MAybe

It's on because what's the point of watching TV when it's off? I don't care if it's not plugged in, I will fucking watch TV if I feel like it.

Something is very wrong with the scale in this image. I'm also frustrated that they went with this typical Syme aesthetic for the booklet instead of keeping on track with the cover

[Lark the Starless]

Is that the same boy from the BC&SL album cover?

And another elephant...interesting.

It also reminds me of Rush's "Power Windows."

[Lucidity]

Yes yes yes this post. They need to get rid of Hugh Syme already.

[Implode]

The picture looks really wonky to me. Like it's really obvious that everything was edited together. Angle aren't right and scales are slightly off. :/

[ProgressiveIce]

The shadows don't seem right either. Just have a look at the elephant's and the books' shadows.

Also, the boy's trousers...

The closer I look at that image, the less I like it.

[Kotowboy]

SO ENERGY POWAH WINDOWS !

[Lucien]

Power Windows is my favorite Rush album. It also has some of Hugh Syme best work, not being digitally made.

Why do you assume it's not intended that way?

I'd say it looks the way it looks on purpose, with all the wrong angles, scales, and edited-look.

[Implode]

It's not obvious enough to be intentional.

Thanks for making me almost choke while drinking water

Exactly what I thought when I heard "Self Titled"

Completely this.

That has been a feature of Syme's work for ever, even back in his glory days. People complaining that it doesn't look realistic are entirely missing the point.
