Tribond - Dream Theater edition

[Scorpion]

Oh, you thought it was that easy?

Yeah, I did.

Instrumental part that's longer than two and half minutes?

[Lucien]

Multiparted songs shorter than 20 minutes?

[Elite]

Instrumental part that's longer than two and half minutes?

HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS? :O

No, not what I was going for. We don't even know song lengths yet.

Multiparted songs shorter than 20 minutes?

Nah, I could have picked Octavarium instead of any track here and it wouldn't make a difference.

[Scorpion]

Instrumental part that's longer than two and half minutes?

HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS? :O

The track length was confirmed to be 2:42, and it's completely instrumental.

[Elite]

Instrumental part that's longer than two and half minutes?

HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS? :O

The track length was confirmed to be 2:42, and it's completely instrumental.

Oh, I didn't know the length was confirmed, but I knew it was fully instrumental. So, although all guesses have been technically correct so far, none of them was what I was going for.

[aprilethereal]

Three movements each?

EDIT: okay no, that doesn't work in Octavarium's case.

EDIT 2: uneven number of movements?

[Elite]

Nor does it with ITPOE Pt. II

[JonnyM93]

3 or 5 movements each?

[Elite]

3 or 5 movements each?

That's hardly a unifying theme, is it? Especially considering ITPOE Pt. II has 4 movements.

[aprilethereal]

 3 to 5 movements each

[Elite]

No!

Also, for clarification, Octavarium is not part of the Tribond, although it *could* be. It should be solveable with just Trial of Tears, False Awakening Suite and ITPOE II. It's a bit stupid, but I really didn't think it would be this hard

[aprilethereal]

At least one of the movements is instrumental?

EDIT: again, doesn't work in 8VM's case

EDIT 2: 3 movements + 5 movements = 8
nuggetz?

[Elite]

At least one of the movements is instrumental?

Nope

EDIT: again, doesn't work in 8VM's case

Indeed.

EDIT 2: 3 movements + 5 movements = 8
nuggetz?

No. It's something that applies to all three in the Tribond separately - and if you will it can apply to Octavarium as well. 'Quatrobond'!

[Elite]

Anyone want to try this one still? Or should I reveal it?

[wasteland]

Reveal

[Elite]

But that would kill it!


Really, it's not that hard at all!

[aprilethereal]

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the movements, right?

[GasparXR]

To whoever posted the last round, do you still want people to guess, or can I go ahead and add a new one involving the new set of songs?

[Zyzzyva17]

As for a possible answer to the last round: all song titles bear similarity to an album title.

Trial of Tears = Train of Thought
In the Presence of Enemies, Pt. 2 = Metropolis, Pt. 2
False Awakening Suite = Awake
Octavarium = Octavarium

(I doubt this is the answer, but what the heck.)

[Elite]

Oh wow, this thread has been dug up again
And still unsolved!

It has something to do with the movements and their titles; nothing with the actual music.

[Viking of the Sagas]

Trial of Tears has 3 movements, ITPoE Pt.2 has 4 movements and FAS has 3 movements again.

Could it be that they all have instrumental sections in them? FAS is all instrumental, so it fits the bill.

Uhh... names... I really can't figure it out right now.

Maybe it's that ITPoE Pt.2 ends at the 6th movement, while both Trial of Tears and FAS add up to 6 movements?

Or they all start off really heavy and dark but then come into a lighter, happier ending? Not sure with Trial of Tears, tbh.

Well that's all for bad ideas today.

[Lucien]

He posted this before we knew what FAS sounded like

[aprilethereal]

He posted this before we knew what FAS sounded like

But we already knew it was an instrumental.

[Zyzzyva17]

The final movements have 3 syllables in all of their names.

[Lucien]

The final movements have 3 syllables in all of their names.

And the third movements, actually.

[Lucien]

ITPOE PT. 2
III -Heretic
IV -The Slaughter of the Damned
V -The Reckoning
VI -Salvation

FAS
I -Sleep Paralysis
II -Night Terrors
III -Lucid Dreams

TOT
I -It's Raining
II -Deep in Heaven
III -The Wasteland

8VM
I -Someone Like Him
II -Medicate
III -Full Circle
IV -Intervals
V -Razor's Edge

Hmmm... 

[Viking of the Sagas]

3 syllables in the third and final movements of each song. I think that's a good one.
