Dream Theater entered the studio in February v. No News is Good News

[TheGreatPretender]

Yeah, Slayer sucks. ...


So um, back to the album, there's this: https://www.facebook.com/johnpetrucciFB/photos/a.133462500039104.42405.126844294034258/1026290327422979/?type=3


I'm assuming he's referring to the new album. And the guitars behind him would mean... Tracking? Or would he be talking about mixing and everything else?

[BlobVanDam]

Someone posted that a little while back, probably buried by the discussion about completely irrelevant topics.......

Given how recently JR was talking about still recording, and the guitar cases in the pic, I'd be inclined to say it's just the last day of recording guitars. I wouldn't think they'd have done a final mix at this point. Does anyone know when/if JLB has been recording vocals yet?

I have the feeling this is going to be an awesome album. They have taken their time in the studio with this one. I hope they revisited during the summer tour, the material they had written and made a few changes...

What was the longest *actual studio time* ( not time between albums ) previous to this ? Which album did it produce ?

Shortest studio time was probably Train of Thought ? I know it only took 3 weeks to write the entire album.

One trip to Wikipedia later:
WD&DU: July 18 - August 12 (1988)
I&W: October - December (1991)
Awake: May - July (1994)
FII: June - July (1997)
SFAM: Unspecified months in 1999
6DOIT: Unspecified months in 2001
ToT: March 10 - September (2003)
8VM: November - February (2004-2005)
SC: September - February (2006-2007)
BC&SL: October - March (2008-2009)
ADTOE: January - May (2011)
DT12: January - May (2013)

Going by this, either SFAM, 6DOIT or ToT could be the longest, & the shortest is probably WD&DU.

So, I'm guessing it's reasonable to think he's done recording by now. Though it is possible that he took a break to do the Theater Equation, and will continue imminently. But I'd guess he was done.

6DOIT: Unspecified months in 2001
ToT: March 10 - September (2003)

I don't know the actual months they were in the studio, but don't forget that in 2001, MP and JP did the summer G3 tour, so the band wasn't in the studio for probably 2 months.

And the same thing is true for 2003 - the band did the tour with QR, which started at the end of June and went thru the beginning of August. I'm sure that there was at least a week or two before and after the tour before they returned to the studio.

Rick Astley had prior commitments so collaboration on DT13 is taking a bit longer than expected. But we have this gem

[Cedar redaC]

100 pages, 98 pages of recycled speculation, analysis of said speculation, djent conspiracies, slayer bashing and much more.

This has been some quality non-content posting here.  I'm proud of you guys for trying to keep yourselves sane for going that long.

Can we get a link or was that a joke?

[rumborak]

And today marks the one-year mark since anything was released by DT
(BTFW was released last year on this day)

Say what you will about MP, but that would have been unheard of in his days.

Rewatched some of Breaking the Fourth Wall. Quality release, but it's hard to get used to the pre-recorded backing vocals....

Also: 100 pages!!
