[Podaar]

Jordan posted the word scenes on his facebook, Jordan posted "scenes", Jordan posted "scenes"!1!!!1

[hefdaddy42]

...and?

[MrBoom_shack-a-lack]

More like "Scenes From my Practice" but I will not crush anyones dreams, so plz continue!

Jordan is a smart man and he know DTF is now the official DT fan board.  No way he throws that word around without knowing we are scrutinizing every post, tweet and photo.  He may has well announced SFAM Pt 2.  Yes it is 100% gonna happen. 

[BlobVanDam]

If they're taking note of DTF, they'll probably feel inclined to name the next album "Clutching at  Straws".

[Zydar]

Then people will draw parallels to the Marillion album by the same name.

wouldn't that have to be part 2 as well seeing as Marillion did the first one?!

Never heard of it. Oh well.

They should write Scarred Part 2: Blob's Bane

Nothing, and you know it!

[Another_Won]

They should just get it over with.  Just tell us you're in the studio and can't say anymore.

"I'll be in studio mode with DT until I do a two week tour for UK's FINAL Tour for the 2nd half of April." Mangini said it! 

At least now we know until when they will be working in the studio. haha

[rumborak]

Not even a photo at this point?

[paulstfu]

It has been almost two weeks since the MM's post about entering the studio.

They're probably still setting up his kit.

Are we thinking they will be done with recording by the end of April then?

[Kotowboy]

What is the UKs final tour ? Is that the final leg of the DT12 promo ?

[BelichickFan]

I love all the video teases of the recording process but it would be kind of cool in a month or so for them to have not said a word and just announce "we're done".

[DarkLord_Lalinc]

Does that mean that MM will be filling in for Virgil during the U.S. east coast leg or something?

However long.  I have a feeling this one may go quickly, though.  Just a gut feeling based on the schedules and the quote from, I think, James, about knowing what they're going to record.  I may have read WAY too much into that but I'm going with it.

Regardless of the length I think it would be cool to not leak a word and just announce that it's done.

[DarkLord_Lalinc]

Yeah, I don't actually mind how much time they spend writing a record as long as the result is good. That being said, this time I'd like something more...adventurous. With A Dramatic Turn of Events (still an amazing album) they had the 'with Portnoy gone, we need to prove our fandom that DT is still going strong'. With DT (still a good album), they had the 'now that we showed you that we're still here... well, we're still recording a progressive album with heavy and melodic elements. The DT sound, yo.' This time around, I'd love if they ventured deeper into experimental territory just like they did back in 2002.

Also, I really think it's time for a new concept album. 1999/2005 are way back in time now.

[BelichickFan]

I don't know what I want, I'm just confident that I'll like it.  My dream is DT's version of Tales from Topographic Oceans with three 20+ minute epics (I know Tales has 4 but this way it would fit on one CD).  But I really don't care, I have full confidence in the boys.

[DarkLord_Lalinc]

That would be awesome, and something new for them.

[rumborak]

I think that would be a cool approach for a band that is known for usually documenting their recording process. Sort of "this time we go into hiding, and will emerge with this gem". But, ever since MP left, the fan communication has (IMHO) suffered a great deal. Not doing any updates would just come across as ... meh.

[Lumiukko]

We can assume that the composing and at least the drum tracks will be done then.

I'm really hoping for a concept album this time and I remember that after the release of DT12 they were asked in some interviews if it would happen... James said it would happen at some point, but in that same interview he said he was going to tour with his solo band, so... haha

[Prog Snob]

And he also said we'd get more Ytsejam Records releases at some point.  So.... thanks James.        

All kidding aside, I am sure the drums will be done before Mike leaves.  If anything, and they need to redo a few drum tracks, I'm sure MP wouldn't mind helping out.

Looks like he is.
